Rasmussen: Romney ahead by 15 in North Dakota

[Rosanna Lopez]

46. Okay . . .

How many times does this have to be explained?

1. If you read what I wrote when I posted the poll (and what I've written on other threads), it has already been stated multiple times that Rasmussen inflates Republican support and that this has to be taken into account. I KNOW that!

2. You seem to be the one who doesn't understand politics, and there's no need to be so patronizing (and possibly sexist?) as if I'm the one who doesn't get it. I didn't say ND was a winnable state in the Presidential election - I said that if Romney is only doing so-so there it probably means he isn't doing well enough to win nationally in the swing states.

3. You don't seem to realize that ND does matter because there is a Senate race going on there to fill Kent Conrad's seat. So encouraging as many people to come out and vote Democratic is important to maintain control of the Senate, which is balancing on a knife edge right now.

4. Incidentally, on one of Karl Rove's Electoral College maps earlier this year he had Obama as being competitive in ND. So perhaps he doesn't expect Romney to do as well there as traditionally a Republican does.
