2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt seems to me that the media are dredging for the polls that make the race “close”.
Just heard CBS Radio news shrieking that Romney leads by four and that Obamas lead in PA has been slashed to fouuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrr! Then they breathlessly screamed about the debate tonight. We tolerate that CBS Radio "news" crap so we can follow local news. Thankfully its only on for 4 minutes or so.

It's all about the media, and the $$$ they'll rake in with a "close" race.

You know, because a candidate that would lie not only on topics but completely reinvent himself like Romney did during Debate #1, would be a really BIG DEAL worthy of continuous, consistent media attention.
