MSNBC: polls now showing GOP winning big in Colorado & Arkansas? What's going on???

46. Last evening on MSNBC, it was announced Hogan has pulled ahead of Brown by 5 points in Maryland's

Governor's race. Maryland is a deep, blue state. Brown has consistently been polling ahead of Hogan by about 9 points (some pollsters have given him a better margin). I sat there in a moment of shock, thinking about Hogan's stance on assault rifles. He thinks it is okay for citizens to have them and supports open carry laws, no background checks. And that is just one of his demented stances on issues. He even refuses to support removing rights to buy guns and carry them for people on the government's suspected terrorist list. Need one say more?

I was very depressed after hearing this until I remembered Hogan's campaign had announced this as a result of a poll it had conducted. I also remembered one other thing: Republicans chronically lie. If enough people think the election is already cooked, they won't bother to vote.

I can't think of any reason why the tide would have changed a minimum of 15 points in just a few days from Brown to Hogan. Additionally, none of the major pollsters are showing this result.

I think there is a lot of exaggeration going on by Republicans to depress the electorate. It is always a goal of theirs to increase the misery index upon the population and convince the people the problems are always Obama's fault. They cannot win through developing good ideas the people like, so they resort to a myriad of underhanded maneuvers.

If my analysis is wrong and Hogan does actually take Maryland, you guys might not hear from me for the next four years because what I would have to say would not be banned on DU.
