I’m still dumbfounded as to how this race is even close.

I hear ya. Just the fact that it is within a couple of points either way has me depressed. How freaking bad do things have to get before Obama’s support collapses? His supporters remind me of the Manson clan, or the Branch Davidians. Pretty stunning...

This poll is pretty much worthless as we don’t elect the President by a national vote but rather state by state via the Electoral College. There are several swing states that will decide the winner. Ras uses up to eleven and other pollsters use less down to seven or eight.

I agree. One little thing, however. In the last election I registered as a rat so I could vote against Hillary (at this point I'm not happy I did that) and I still show as a rat for registration but of course voted for McCain and now Romney. So I can't be the only one showing one registration but voting the opposite.

Actually, I agree, but I also cannot help but think of the quintescential weight-challenged bride that struggles mightily in the run-up to the day....lots of 'show' before but curiously wearing sweats and baggy clothes and talking heavily about "how much progress I've made" or the "I'm just big-boned and it's really hard to take it off" excuse.

The fitting comes and the dressmaker and prospective bride's maids (the press) are busy stuffing her fat carcass into the "princess" gown. [Meanwhile, The dressmaker makes a mental note to buy some stainless steel wire to reinforce the seams.]

Come the day, the bride is ambling aimlessly down the aisle, bursting at the seams....all the attendees are gasping at the groans of the thread screeching in agony. The crux is, "Will it burst?" Will they be able to keep the deception going until after the "I do's" are irrevocably spoken?

It's close because it's not about Romney vs. Obama. It's close because as far as the MSM has presented Romney, it's a pile of poo vs. Obama.

"I’m still dumbfounded as to how this race is even close"

AMEN!! but when you think about it...you know why its close.... liberal media and the ever-growing gov't dependent class

Romney is getting advice from the same genius level consultants who won the race for McCain. What could go wrong?
