Can you guys define a "bump" for me because the Corporate Media has me confused...

It seems that if Robme gains anywhere from 1% to 5%, the Corporate Media calls it a bump, some even referring to his small lead as a "surge". For me, a bump for Robme should be very high, not one or two points as most of these polls are showing. However, the Corporate Media acts as if Robme has already won this election.

They are so transparent. They really want this race to be as close as possible.

It is absolutely critical that we not become demoralized by these numbers. We have far too much work to get done to be complacent, defeatist, apathetic or anything less than motivated to get people to those polls!

Just sayin'

The only purpose of the Corporate reported "Bump" is to legitimize the corporate election theft Vincardog Oct 2012 #1

That is very smart. I, too, have turned off the t.v. and will keep it off until after the debates. Liberal_Stalwart71 Oct 2012 #3

Corporate media, which pay little tax now, would pay no tax under Robme. Besides, they want this to be a horse race instead of a slam dunk for the better man. So they're undermining Obama while puffing Robme up to Thanksgiving Day Parade balloon proportions.

This is the time in the election cycle when I tune out polls and pundits. None of them are doing anything but blowing smoke around and it's hard on the blood pressure and emotional equilibrium.

I'd suggest the rest of us do the same. Those healthy enough can work to GOTV. The rest of us just need to VOTE.
