Nineteen eighty was the first presidential election I voted in. It was a landslide. Romney is not going to win by a landslide.

These polls are simply campaign fundraising for their messiah.

On Oct 24th 2008 he wrote

For those who would rather not find out, it is particularly important to redouble our efforts for John McCain and to battle for each Senate seat. McCain is only seven points behind – not an insurmountable margin. A good final week could save the free enterprise system. We owe it to our future to try.

He had the 7 point right. The rest was cheerleading.

I am in Hollywood. And I base my expertise here on the fact that I lived here for several years.

[ncalburt]

where are you again Fl expert ????

Maybe Chicago ??????

[malkee]

I have a hard time believing you have relatives in Pennsylvania. They must live somewhere in the middle of the state. Otherwise they would feel the Obama influence.
And once again, I am in Hollywood, FL. Not Chicago.

The NYTimes polling analyst meanwhile tweeting up a storm of propaganda tonight: Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight The polls could definitely be overestimating Democratic turnout. However, just as likely, they could be underestimating it. Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight What's turnout going to be like? WHY DON'T WE TAKE A PUBLIC OPINION SURVEY AND FIND OUT! Not up to the pollster to decide for the voters. 12h Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight I trust pollsters more when they show an OCCASIONAL outlier. It shows you that they're not cheating. 12h Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight Once pollsters start to act like turnout is a matter of subjective opinion, the whole point of polling is defeated. Nate Silver ‏@fivethirtyeight Thinking every poll but Rasmussen is skewed is literally as delusional as believing that 9/11 was a conspiracy.

Broward county the most left wing county in FL ???

Its the center of left wing hell in the state .

[Revolting cat!]

Nothing but Communists in Hollywood! And Clint Eastwood. And you, of course.

[ncalburt]

You are surrounded in Hollywood Fl .
Its the most corrupt Dem party cesspool in FL.
NO wonder you feel that way .
My family is from Sarasota.

Morris did hit 2010 on the nose and had a very good sense of the voters’ intensities. I recall in 2008 that Morris was urging McCain to go hard on Obama’s background, especially the Reverend Wright stuff. I do not recall him predicting a McCain win.

He did say that if McCain went hard on vetting Obama on Wright, his Chicago connections with Rezko and his pathetic, brief state senate and US senate experience, he could still win. We all know how badly McCain ran his campaign and the catastrophic consequences.

Yes, tell me about it. Why do you think I left. (Only part of the reason,actually.) I don’t miss the political aspects of that. But it kills me about free republic. I haven’t been on here in a while, and every time you express an opinion that doesn’t tow the party line you get jumped on. I’m not saying I wish Obama would win. I hope he doesn’t. I hope Dick Morris is right. But I remember when Dick Morris guaranteed Hillary Clinton would become president in 2009. (That was in 2007). He’s been wrong before, and I think there’s a likelihood he’ll be wrong agin.

This election will be decided in the first 15 minutes, of the first debate.

Unfortunately, all the big media stories about how amazingly Obama did in the debate will be written by close of business tomorrow.

Nate Silver formerly employee at Daily KOZ !
The brilliant one that predicted the Dems would keep the House in 2010.
The all knowing one that predicted Gov Scott was in big trouble in the WI recall ? What is the story with Jewish Leftists pushing a Marxist Muslim ??

[ncalburt]

That's a good point about Hillary.
Where are you in PA ?

[My Favorite Headache]

Correct. Fox had better sever all ties with him if Romney loses...Morris is going all out and all in on this one. The best night of Dick Morris on television was when Alan Colmes called him out on how much he is wrong and how many times he has been wrong and put out a long list and Morris was ready to walk off set.

I wish the Romney-Ryan team was not so far behind in the polls in OHIO, but then I realized that we have the Three C's, Cincinnati, Columbus and Cincinnati with their big inner city Democrap voting blocs. Add those to the big voting blocs of inner city Toledo,Dayton,Youngstown, and the whole Northern Ohio area, and all the college student Obobo lovers, white guilt people, and you will see that we (Conservatives,Republicans) are outnumbered. I wish it wasn't true, but wishing isn't going to help. Too many people getting the freebies! I'm not giving up, just stating my opinion.

[scooby321]

We are dissing the facts of the adviser's of two Presidents Bill Clinton who won two elections and GW Bush.

I see the lack of support of people who in 08 would debate you on Obama

I am not seeing it in 2012

No Way O’Bumbler walks away with this election. Name ONE, JUST ONE, person who voted for McCain that has decided that O’Bumbler has done such a good job

True but irrelevant. A fair number of elderly voters from four years ago are dead. Four new years of younger voters are eligible to vote. The voting age population has grown and shifted in demographics. Obama will lose a lot of his supporters. But he has to lose an awful lot before Romney wins. I think that will happen but it's an uphill struggle.
