1. By far the dumbest post of the entire campaign

Walk with pride.

[Maximumnegro]

9. He's got some competition

A couple super stupid threads today.

[alcibiades_mystery]

11. Onlooker's off the deep end

Some people just don't have the composition for this type of stuff.

Ignore him, and proceed with winning the race.

[orpupilofnature57]

2. Stop watching Fox it up .

[K8-EEE]

3. Sounds like you need to turn off the tee-vee because in reality

The President is ahead in the electoral college count and leading in most swing states.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. What parallel universe are you living in?

Most of the polls are trending toward Obama.

[DrToast]

21. +1

I thought it was an old post or something. I was surprised to see it dated today!

[Lex]

5. Really? Are you looking at the swing state polls (the only ones that matter)?

How about http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/ ?

[BraKez2]

6. What are you talking about?

MULTIPLE GOOD POLLS FOR OBAMA TODAY
Virginia
Iowa
Wisconsin
Nevada
Colorado

Early voting is going great

Colin Powell endorsement

[Samjm]

7. Not sure what you're looking at

Polls I'm seeing show Obama up in most areas. The criss-crossing the country speaking to thousands of people at each stop strikes me as riding the momentum wave.

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. turn off the TV and read the web - it's been a really good day!

[MSMITH33156]

10. Oh, for crying out loud

all the state polls are moving TOWARDS Obama, and he was already ahead. Here:

Thank you for your concern.

[roody]

12. Turn the garbage off.

[Maximumnegro]

13. Just jump already. thanks.

[virgogal]

40. That's kind of mean. Tolerance is needed.

[mucifer]

14. Please listen to Axelrod and Messina. They should make you feel better:

15. Check out Nate silver

[faithfulcitizen]

16. listen Eeyore, cheer up! You are wrong.

[grasswire]

17. Eeyore, hahaha!

I was thinking of Joe Btfsplk, the character in Lil Abner who walks around with a constant raining cloud over his head.

[TDale313]

37. Oh bother.

Thanks for noticing me.

[faithfulcitizen]

41. "we're all gonna die......."

[LisaL]

18. Please turn off you TV.

I am very confused as to WTF you are talking about. We had a bunch of good swing state polls released.

[meadowlark5]

19. Stop watching tv!

Quit watching CNN, Fox or NBC, CBS, ABC nightly news. Your local news will likely parrot whatever the nightly news reported.

Book mark the links posted here and check only those. The news outlets are stupid dumbasses following instruction by their program managers who are probably instructed by their corporate CEOs how to report this race. It's pathetic and you have to do your own footwork to find credible information and the news programs aren't it.

[Life Long Dem]

20. Give me, or better yet, give Obama a break

"Seeing the way Obama is crisscrossing the nation sure doesn't give me a lot of confidence."

[BraKez2]

23. Its not like there is 12-16K at every stop or anything....

[Life Long Dem]

25. I know

That was the stupidest comment I ever heard.

[scheming daemons]

22. we gained in every state poll today... are you nuts? or a troll?

...

[alcibiades_mystery]

27. Onlooker's not a troll

He's just not a very strong person.

[LisaL]

31. If he stops watching TV he should be fine.

I stopped watching anything election related and feel so much better.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

24. Congrats

You are actually further out of the loop than cable news. That takes some work.

[Ztolkins]

30. This post wins the thread

Awesome

[budkin]

26. Xanax

Take some

[kansasobama]

28. You will be ok

Actually, I have been worrying a lot. I try to take both the good and the bad and balance out. Yes, national polls are trending against. But, electoral votes seem to be ok so far. One disappointment, the rape case did not drop Romney at all. What is good? It may do just enough to solidify electoral votes.

[Neon2012]

36. Electoral votes have gone no way but down.

Day to day and week to week.
Intrade, 538, etc.
Take a look at 6 weeks ago.
Nothing but plummet.
I'm worried.

[progressivebydesign]

46. LOL. Intrade? are you joking?? Do you even KNOW what that is??

It's not a poll. It's a betting site that is manipulated by INVESTORS.

Plummet?
Some folks come here and try really really hard to demoralize us, but it doesn't work. Neon2012? you forgot the "c"

If you're truly concerned, this is NOT the place for it. Read the other thread, your post is completely off the rails.

[Neon2012]

49. Just being honest.

Sorry I didn't do it in the right place.

Yes, familiar with what intrade is.

[Neon2012]

52. No.

Not a troll. I care deeply.

I lose sleep. My biggest fear is the appointment of a new conservative supreme court justice.

I may be pessimistic, but I'm not a troll.

[Neon2012]

54. I SHOULD be welcome to express my opinion here.

[Tutonic]

29. Sominex

It does wonders. Sleep. Tomorrow is a New Day Scarlet!

[Floyd_Gondolli]

32. Is this satire?

[LisaL]

33. I don't think so.

Although it sure is bizarre.
We finally got some good state polls and the poster thinks the sky is falling.

[smorkingapple]

34. Obama is now doing what he should have done in 1st debate and step on Romney's neck

now that he has momentum. I applaud this move. It shows he wants this badly(remember when people were doubting that?). His voice sounds like he just smoked 8 packs of Newports back to back and hasnt slept in a day. It shows drive which will be rewarded on election day.

Dont fret, the wind is at his back.

[Neon2012]

35. Nobody is giving this post credibility.

All the online info referred to in this thread has to be sought out.

TV is the most powerful voice in our stupid society, and right now TV says Romney is winning.

And TV does not have to be sought out by most.

[faithfulcitizen]

45. Depends what channel you're watchin' I guess...

[MrMickeysMom]

38. Advice... When you start a post, come back to it...

Otherwise, how can an OP be considered worthy following?

I'm already convinced it's a bullshit OP.

[Jersey Devil]

39. You need to refill your bait bucket

Try squid next time and set your drag tighter.

[RomneyLies]

42. That's because the media picked the polls Romney went up in

For every one of those, there were three where Obama went up.

Nate just increased the Nov. 6 probability of an Obama win from 71% to 72%.

[LiberalElite]

43. Friend, here's a little advice

I feel cautiously optimistic about Obama's chances - and I can worry my head off with the best of them, obsess, lose sleep, even lose my appetite (rarely LOL). After the first debate, I had several sleepless nights. I slept better after all the rest of the debates, didn't you? Anyway, I now have gotten to the point in this election that I'm just not watching the talking heads, and obsessively checking the polls. One poll's up the other's down and then they switch sides. Some of them are biased towards Repugs. It is what it is. Take a couple days off from all of this, then volunteer to make calls and GOTV.

[progressivebydesign]

44. "playing catch up?" Andrea Mitchell. is that yOU??? nt

[Mrloserpunk]

47. .... Really?

Really?

[grantcart]

48. I don't know what polls you are looking at

Virtually all of the state polls released today show Obama ahead

http://politicalwire.com/

and all of the early voting is showing record turn out

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251176077

[longship]

50. Onlooker, look closer.

I am a Michigander. There is no way in Dante's Hell that Romney wins Michigan.

Furthermore, I heartily disagree with you. I think that this is going to be one our greatest days.

Your concern is noted! But you are entirely wrong.

[Zoeisright]

53. I don't call a 74% chance of winning miserable.

Wake up.

[Onlooker]

55. I'm self deleting this

Okay, after reading all the responses, maybe it's no such a miserable day. I'll keep my hopes up that Rmoney and his ilk will end up in the dustbin of history! Thanks all.
