70. That's right. Halloween masks have predicted the winner of elections for years now

Mon Oct 29, 2012, 03:32 PM

Oct 2012

It's right here from Spitfire of ATJ from October 25th.

Yes, gentle reader it's time once again for the Halloween mask poll

If you're gonna follow a poll might as well make it this one.
People actually put their money where their mouth is on ones like these.
Actions speak louder than words.

Whenever you get worried, lunamagica, refer to your 7-Eleven thread, the Halloween mask thread I just pointed out, & my thread here.

We got one more week & this thing is over.
We'll never have to see Romney's shifty face again after November 6th.
He can move out to the Cayman Islands & stay there as far as I'm concerned.
John Lucas

P.S.: Thank you for your props on my 'discount Palin' line. I was on fire when I thought of that one.

If only those stupid idiots like Gallup would stop skewing the polls! tarheelsunc Oct 2012 #9

These polls only measure a sample of voters. None ask the whole country how they feel johnlucas Oct 2012 #11

Really? A 20% popular vote margin? Codeine Oct 2012 #14

Didn't they say that Romney was least popular candidate since Mondale? johnlucas Oct 2012 #15

You really think President Obama's share of the popular vote will jump 13 percent over 2008 onenote Oct 2012 #38

I have a firm grasp of reality. I look at demographic trends johnlucas Oct 2012 #41

You are right that this isn't 2008. But that's not necessarily a positive onenote Oct 2012 #42

My Money is on SC being that state but that's only 5 ECV rbrnmw Oct 2012 #47

Yes johnlucas Oct 2012 #24

You should study up on the electoral college. morningfog Oct 2012 #17

90% of the post-debate state polls have also looked pretty bad though. tarheelsunc Oct 2012 #18

Where did you get that number, 90%? morningfog Oct 2012 #20

I'm just guessing, but there has not been much good news tarheelsunc Oct 2012 #21

Meh. MI and PA are solid. OH still looks good. morningfog Oct 2012 #22
