deluded folks at 'RedState' think they have MI and PA, and tied in MN

[DMacTX]

below is a quote from one paragraph.


"Well the campaign has announced they are putting ads into Minnesota because they believe it's tied.

So perhaps they aren't moving into MI and Pa because they don't need to. Maybe they are ahead there without it, and the campaign is attack other "safe" Obama states. "

1. I want to know why they think it's tied.

Because if Obama is at +4/+5 ahead in Ohio, he isn't losing those states.

2. I know. I love it!!! The Freepers are CONVINCED

The lamestream media has been making up the OH polls and that Romney is going to landslide. The delusion is so strong and so thick that I am getting a little worried (me? I know!). There's going to be some violence when Obama wins. This level of delusion won't end well. The GOP has poisoned their own well.

Oh man Election Day is going to be awesome.

And how about that RAND poll. It's turning out to be pretty frickin' reliable, catching Obama's momentum before the polls.

4. The few minutes that FR will actually be working the night of Nov. 6, I plan to watch it implode.

So much schadenfreude to be had that night. It will be glorious. [url=http://www.cosgan.de/smilie.php][img][/img][/url]

[-LOKI -BAD FOR YA]

16. schadenfreude is one of my favorite treats

yes it will great at 8:30 est when the first results start coming in. cries of joy on the left and the right heads will explode. i do not live with a repug. but those who do maybe you should be in a neutral spot.and you should have a safety word. those with cars should remove obama stickers to prevent keying.

18. I'm in the UK... when will I get the results? I'll be up all night anyway I guess

20. i love uk politics,i first becamed interested when i hear vince cable speak,i liked him,

21. In 2008, I believe McCain gave his concession speech at about 3:15am your time.

But that was a big loss. If this race is closer, it could take longer to know for certain. Add to that Willard's refusal to admit he's not doing well and it could take much longer before he'll face facts.

I'd use McCain's time as the benchmark and go from there. I doubt it will be earlier, even if it's a big loss, again. Sheer stubborness will keep Willard from conceding for quite a while.

3. that was just a small section. They actually think Romney in landslide of 10 points

They live in a total surreal universe.

it's actually quite scary that there obsession totally disregards all factual data. Like an old flame that's won't accept it's over and still shows up at your works Christmas Party!

14. Minnesota - it was 8 point spread last month, now 3 points, so that was a real shocker to us

the 3 point spread is within the poll's +/- 3.5% margin of error.

19. Every election you will get some weird polls.

But for the most part, MN, MI, and PA are solid for Obama.

[Drunken Irishman]

6. This is the same stuff I read in '08 from Republicans...

They were convinced because McCain was focusing so much attention on Pennsylvania that he must've put Ohio and Florida in the bag and that he was so going to win there and swamp Obama. I remember reading their delusion and it was awesome in retrospect.

They also felt, because of on the ground sources, that the PUMAs would vote McCain and that the reason the polls showed Obama up is that they were all lying to the pollsters.

Funny shit!

[pointsoflight]

7. some have seriously flipped out

[Chichiri]

8. Link? Maybe they'll be willing to bet on it.

As the guy at unskewedpolls is willing to.

9. I heard Rove and co. trying to spin the poll numbers on Fox

I watched for about 3 minutes, a record for me. Rove was saying that given Romney's lead in the national polls (he claims it's 4-6 points), there is no way Obama can be winning Ohio. Then when Joe Trippi mentioned that Obama leads in early voting, Rove insisted it wasn't so, that Reps. led in absentee ballot requests, as though the two are the same. So he's obviously trying to talk up some of the national polls to make the Fox viewership feel better.

As an aside, WTF is going on with Joe Trippi? Why is he on Fox, and is he finished in Democratic Party politics?

[writes3000]

10. Rove said Obama isn't ahead in early voting? Really?

Wow.

[BainsBane]

11. Yep

and responded by citing requests for absentee ballots, which is not the same as early voting. Everyone knows Republicans love to vote absentee.

12. There's going to be a lot of crying going on come Nov 7

[JI7]

13. Obama didn't prevent Sandy so the North East is now going for Romney

[progree]

15. Either that, or they expect him to clean up all the storm damage before the election n/t

[cash__whatiwant]

17. Let them. And let them be in shock come election night lol.
