Are you noticing how all the Big Networks are avoiding an Ohio poll

Time just released their Ohio poll but where is NBC/ABC/CBS/CNN/ ect...with Ohio polls? They are polling Colorado and Iowa so they can ignore the fact that without Ohio Romney isn't going to win PERIOD. He is not going to sweep every other state if he loses Ohio and they know it. Just more of the horse race crap. Even on election night they are going to act like its still sooooooo close even after they call Ohio for President Obama. President Obama could literally be sitting at 220 electoral votes just waiting for the polls to close in California for their 55 electoral votes and they will still be working the map talking about how Mitt could still win. The media is beyond transparent. This is going to be a long week and a half.

The news reports . . . Morning Joe and that's it eh? Mika gave the results this a.m. - I'm understanding nothing since?

Betcha starting at 4 PM it will make its way back onto MSNBC at least.

Is going to release some new polls on Iowa and Colorado around 6:30 est which is 3:30pm my time according to twitter. But yet no Ohio polls. Call me some time this week if you get a chance. I need to be able to talk about all this stuff and my husband is tired of hearing it

the 7th to the 9th. Why Iowa again? Last time it was an 8 point lead per their poll. I imagine it is closer then that but OH needs more polling.

The media really needs to be boiled alive for the horrible job it's done this past month in trying to manipulate the race for ratings.

It's in total GOTV mode for Romney. Fox News may as well be Romney campaign headquarters and the rest aren't far behind.

the fact that Obama has been leading for so long means it could probably go toward Romney by a couple points and Obama could still win because of the banked votes

I'm shocked at how many conservatives think they've won.

I want to keep Dem enthusiasm and the early voting numbers favoring us a big secret. I want to encourage GOP complacency.
