If it was not for the fact I like on this planet, part of me would love to send all the mushy Indies off to some other planet rules by repubs.

I will say this much, if the American people are that stupid, I hope the Romney voters are the first that get shoveled into the furnace of history.

1) Ask yourself "How accurate have these sorts of polls been in the past?"

2) A national poll doesn't count for crap anyway, because it's the electoral count that decides the election. This poll doesn't show a state-by-state breakdown, and the per-state margins of error would be larger.
