ut oh...big doings at NBC, their starting to hedge their own polls.
Every day? Gee, one wonders why?
Have you ever tired of something and the more you were around it the more fed up with it you became? That is obama for enough of the electorate to put Mitt over the top.

I heard that Romney is going to Virginia and Florida....why go there when he is guaranteed wins there. Anyway, Fox News still say that Obama is ahead of Romney in NH, VA, and Iowa. I thought Romney had Virginia in the bag....his going to Virginia and Fox News makes me think that Romney may not have Virginia after all.
Schedules are important, but look at how the two candidates are actually campaigning. I watched both give speeches on TV today and Romney does not look like a guy who is losing. His message is very affirmative/positive and reiterative of his previous stump speeches. R&R are not trying out new lines or going negative in any new manner. Obama is wearing a flight jacket (never saw that before) and slashing his opponent aggressively while jumping from state to state.
Interesting. There are actually two theories for what this could mean:
1. Romney could be spending time in New Hampshire because he thinks Ohio is going for him and he doesn’t need it, whereas Obama is worried.
2. Romney is writing Ohio off. But if Romney has info that says he can’t win Ohio why is Obama spending so much time there?
Presidents traditionally do not campaign over the weekend before the election - unless they believe they are in real trouble ...
In 1980, Carter was ahead 7-10 points just before the last debate a week before the election. By that Friday, his lead was 3-5 points and his advisors told him that he HAD to campaign Sat. AND Sun.
He did - and the snap polls on Sun. said he was in a virtual tie. So, he had to campaign on Mon. He did. The snap polls said he was behind 5-7 points on Mon. nite.
Carter knew then that he had lost the election ...
You see, by state law, Ohio CANNOT count provisional ballots until 10 days AFTER the election.
We likely won't know who Ohio went to until after this provisional ballot count.
My guess is that the Dems will have more provisional voters than anywhere else in nation...and will seek to challenge provisional votes that were eventually excluded...
And, of course, those provisional ballots will be under "lock and key"...but whose lock & whose key?
