Whatever Michael Barone says WRT elections, I take to the bank.
President Romney.
I never answer them either or if they want to ask questions, I hang up.
Will Barone be working for Fox News on election night? I’ve always looked forward to his analysis as the election unfolds. I didn’t watch much in 2008, so I’m hoping he’s still working as an analyst for them.
“The most important fact that I take away from Barone is that less and less voters answer their phones to participate in polls”
I am thinking the same thing. I think pollsters after this election will have to adjust their polling methods. Very few people are answering their land lines for the pollsters as an example. Some pollsters are still using the 2008 turnout which IMHO is wrong for 1012. I think all of this bodes well for Mitt.
Keep praying and VOTE!
Four days until we find out if Mr. Barone’s limb held or if he is doing his Rocky the Flying Squirrel impression.
How I wish I could be as confident as he seemed to be that the accursed obomination is going to be exorcised from the White House.
This shows he thought Obama was likely to win.
God bless and keep, sweet you.
I’ll settle for 269-269...270-268 would be better....330-208 would better still.
I remember that. Rove was on the money in 08
Barone called Obama a week out not sure he had electoral as big as it was. Barone is conservative and not in to making partisan calls. In fact I believe in 2000. He was the one that called the early Gore call a mistake based on who had reported votes
ping
Please make it be so
We want more than a landslide—we want criminal prosecutions followed by death sentences where warranted.
Despite Rasmussen, it’s been a pretty good day. Barone is the best.
my thoughts exactly...
He was pretty much on target with the 2008 predictions too, though unfortunately he was wrong about Norm Coleman getting reelected.
Michael is indeed a walking encyclopedia of politics and elections. Every time I met him he recognized my last name as being the same as a former mayor of my town (and distant relative) who served in the 1950s! So he seems to know about every precinct in the country.
With that in mind I am encouraged by his prediction. He and Dick Morris are about the only ones saying Romney wins by a large margin. I respect Barone’s opinion but I still am skeptical. If it turns out he is right though, he will be one of the most sought after pundits in every future election.
Wow, this is pretty encouraging. I think i’ll shut er down
now and not read anything else!!
Went to vote today in akron, but line was out the door
with obamma voters,so i left. It was kind of a downer.
Any one in ohio going to the I-X center on Sunday for the
big Rally??
