Polls say its 47% to 47% - but the electoral votes are what count.

Last I saw it was Obama 240 / Rmoney 154

Which paints a different picture, and should really be what the MSM discusses.

Obama up by quite a bit. He wins OH and PA and he's in. Rmoney has to run the table to win....

1. I am cautiously hopeful. I hope for the best but know we must fight like hell against R's.

[Rosanna Lopez]

2. National polls

The national polls are not too good for Obama today.

1. Down to a Tie in Gallup

2. Behind by 3 in Rasmussen

3. Tied in ABC News

But yes, Obama remains ahead in all of the electoral college projections I've seen, from the Huffington Post to Nate Silver at NYT.

17. and that's all that really matters. The national poll doesn't really do anything...

I think the press just wants a tight race so they tout the national numbers...meaningless...

[DCBob]

18. Please dont even list Rasmutten..

He's as biased as it gets.

[Swede Atlanta]

3. While the "winner" psychology can be impactful...

I would prefer that people think this is a very close race.

If people begin to think that based on the EC, Obama is in a relatively strong position, contributions and support will wane.

It is much better to make people think things are very dicey and their efforts, financial and otherwise are needed.

Complacency is what causes many losses.

4. Are you telling me that our country is so screwed up that someone knows the electoral vote count

before we've even cast one vote anywhere? Wow, then why bother voting if it's all predetermined.

7. Welcome to DU, Cholley71.

Oh, and check your caps lock. I don't think you really meant to shout at us.

[Cholley71]

9. oops im sorry my bad

[obxhead]

8. Those numbers are about to change drastically.

The "fight" over the Bush tax breaks is just firing up. The "news" networks and "polling" organizations are just awaiting their marching orders and time of attack.

10. I always laugh...

Whenever I see this stuff. This will not be a close election. Romney has absolutely no real support. The only people who will vote for him are people who label themselves as "Republican" and have done no research on the issues.

[yellowcanine]

11. One poll says that. The WP poll. Other national polls still have Obama up.

[MrSlayer]

12. Sure but he's not going to win PA if the ID law is upheld.

It's just the way it is. We can't have 18% of Philly and 10% in each of the surrounding suburbs be disenfranchised and win the state. And that's without even knowing the percentage in Pittsburgh.

We're in big trouble. These laws must be struck down or held back else we're looking at President Romney and a totally red congress. The final nail in the coffin for the country.

13. Arg. A clean vote in Ohio? nt

[CreekDog]

14. Nope --one poll says 47-47

Details do matter.

[zipplewrath]

15. The media has to sell soap

You don't keep alot of viewers if you start out with "there's nothing to talk about here". There #1 purpose is to sell soap. Can't tell your audience that there's nothing interesting to talk about.

[polichick]

19. The psycho GOP is arranging to steal PA and OH...

...and several other states - that's the real story we're going to look back on.

2000 - 2004 - 2012

When will it stop?
