Was 2008 really that hard to call?


Around here, you were chewed out if you showed any negativity -— reality, with 20-20 hindsight now— about McCain not going to pull it out. Freepers were so sure McCain would defy all the polls. No way would Obama actually win.

Which has me worried now. Freeper predictions for a Romney landslide come only from what they wish, not anything objective.

I have no clue after careful study of the polls and maps.

balony! I have been hearing that from you guys for weeks, saying how Freepers ignored the polls in 2008!

When McCain suspended his campaign, almost everyone knew the election was over.

This election cycle, the pollsters have put up sampling that range from +D2-11 to get Obama tied with Romney.

Both Ras and Gallup state the Party ID is +R and that Party ID for the Democrats is at an all time low, yet, the Democrats are going to perform at 08 levels.

It is nonsense and it will be proven to be so today.
