26. If you follow polls Nate ain't sayin a damn thing

you don't already know. He doesn't have any special insight. If the polls average out a little lower today then guess what, his numbers will be lower. Magic I know.

Why is it people all of a sudden forget or ignore all the hints from the campaign and inside sources and get distracted by these polls and pollwatchers is beyond me. The campaign has come out multiple times saying the polls are not capturing what they are seeing on the ground and the early votes and inside info like Cook Report back it up.

Guess what. OH + NV = Game over for Romney

Guess what two states Obama has a lock on right now.

Nate isn't going to tell you that.
