4. I love electoral-vote.com however...

Jul 2012

been following him for more than a decade now, however, the one thing I wish he would do is
to NOT count the rasmussen polls at all

why?
Rasmussen we all know how they skew.
BUT what worries me, is how Rasmussen wants to steer the election, now follow me here

so in essence, when its unimportant, he slips a lead for Obama in, then wham bam at some other point, when Ras thinks its important, he will release 3 new polls and claim Mittens is gaining

so it means a good democrat poll from Ras is more scary than the normal bad one with Ras
(and explains why Ras has the ability to change polls at the end, then claim he is accurate
(why?Because earlier on he didn't give the public the correct numbers or polls, at the end he does solely to say his numbers are spot on.(Icall it bullcrap)

If I were the votemaster at ev.com I would drop them from the tallies altogether as they have never proven worthy.

IMHO

meanwhile, never once has Obama lost the electoral lead at ev.com and is gaining here.

270 is all that's needed, but I hope its a veritable landslide on election day with an Obama victory and a takeback of the house and keeping the senate, then over the next four years,
with retirements and all, take back the courts and take back our America.
