If the polls are correct, and President Obama wins a narrow Electoral College victory on Tuesday, the pivotal moment of the 2012 presidential race may have actually occurred in 2009. About two months after taking office, Mr. Obama set the terms of the government’s rescue of General Motors and

The very dodgy theme that the auto-bailout was a great thing that also bought Obama the election in Ohio is really a point of religious faith for the Left.

If the auto bailout is such a clincher for Barry then why is Romney still in the game in Michigan?

They better be careful with stories like this. I have worked the lines at the polls this week. Those Obama voters are so dumb , they will hear this and think the election is over.

“I cannot WAIT for tomorrow. Time is ticking way too slowly.”

The polls open in 50 minutes in New Hampshire: Skating away on the thin ice of a new day! It’s finally here, this long nightmare is finally coming to an end.

The New York Times. The Old Gray Whore. “I wonder if I can trust the Ministry of Truth to report truthfully?” Winston Smith
Gee, Winnie—I dunno. Do you think you might get a relaxing back massage at the Ministry of Love?

The undoing of the fraud known as Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. begins. It’s like midnight, June 6, 1944. Finally.

Right on schedule. Didn’t someone say earlier that the Democrats were going to claim victory early in order to demoralize potential Romney voters and get them to sit home? Not a chance!

Maybe the NY Slimes has the names and phone numbers of some Ron Paulian collegiate electors who will make protest votes for Obama later.

"I mean what year was the last year they ever published something intellectually honest."

People in glass houses....and all that.

They did NOT claim 'Obama Slight Electoral Win'.

But it's okay for you to falsely claim they did as a fake headline for a post?

Pots and kettles and all that.

The other day Obama was telling a crowd in Ohio (I think) that Mitt Romney had said, "Let Detroit go bankrupt" and that it was on video. Someone on Fox pointed out that it wasn't on video, it was from a column Romney had written for the NYT but that the headline was composed by someone at the Times, not by Romney. Of course it's always a safe assumption whenever Obama says anything that he is lying.

he saved Gm by throwing 22.000 workers into govt pensions instead of their own pensions from gm, which were far better and he stole hundreds of millions from bondholders who were shafted....

I'm sure they don't have short memories..

My take on why polls are not correct is the well known as the “Wilder Effect”. That being where pollees will talk non-racial to outwardly be beleived as good folks even by the polsters, but when they step in the voting booth their distaste for nobama’s politics, laziness and failure will overcome 2008’s “racist cleansing” vote for nobama.

What’s your malfunction bud?

Read the first line of the article... “if the polls are correct and Obama wins a narrow electoral college victory...”

That is what I’m referring to. That statement is a claim of a slight electoral win. I really didn’t give it too much more thought than that.

Are you brain dead or just looking for a fight, moron?

What's my malfunction?

Evidently, in your bizarro world, the qualifier "if the polls are correct" does not place all after it in that context.

My malfunction, then, seems to be a vastly higher understanding of the English language than yours, bud.

Or, conversely, you might just be considering honesty a malfunction.

I guess the people in Ohio aren’t worried about the coal industry?
