34. Yes. McCain had the lead or was tied in many polls in 2008. It was NOT a lock at all.

People thought that maybe the President would win, but was totally surprised when he swept it in a landslide. You were here, obviously.. so you don't remember the same panic trolls and concern in the last few weeks of the election season then.

We had to post that Obama pic "Chill the Fuck Out, I've Got This!!!" over and over and over again...

Romney is not fucking winning... the national polls you keep focusing on are based on "likely voters" and that is a BS model, just as it was in 2008. The only way romney wins is if he cheats. Period. Calm down.
