Lobo, is Leia still on antibiotics from her teeth cleaning?
Or any other meds?

NEW CNN/OPINION RESEARCH POLL OUT
ROMNEY 49 OBAMA 49
ITS DEAD EVEN I TELL YOU DEAD EVEN
YOU COULDN’T SQUEEZE GREGS DICK BETWEEN THEM ITS SO CLOSE!
METHODOLOGY
A total of 1,010 adults were interviewed by telephone nationwide by live interviewers calling both landline and cell phones. All
respondents were asked questions concerning basic demographics, and the entire sample was weighted to reflect national Census
figures for gender, race, age, education, region of country, telephone usage and whether respondents own or rent their homes.
Registered voters were asked questions about their likelihood of voting, past voting behavior, and interest in the campaign; based
on answers to those questions, 693 respondents were classified as likely voters. Respondents who reported that they had already
cast an absentee ballot or voted early were automatically classified as likely voters. Among those likely voters, 41% described
themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans.
BASED ON 307 REGISTERED VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS DEMOCRATS AND 111 REGISTERED
VOTERS WHO DESCRIBED THEMSELVES AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN DEMOCRATIC, FOR A TOTAL OF 418
REGISTERED DEMOCRATS-- (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 5% PTS.)
BASED ON 293 REGISTERED VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS REPUBLICANS AND 152 REGISTERED
VOTERS WHO DESCRIBE THEMSELVES AS INDEPENDENTS WHO LEAN REPUBLICAN, FOR A TOTAL OF 445
REGISTERED REPUBLICANS — (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5% PTS.)
now look how they managed the likely voter breakdown
693 respondents were classified as likely voters.
41% described themselves as Democrats,
29% described themselves as Independents, and
30% described themselves as Republicans
——————-
SO they have a tie among Likely Voters with a D+11 sample???
D + FUCKING ELEVENTY?
OH YEAH ITS TIED ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!ELEVENTY!

Description in the Hitchhiker’s Guide
Vogon poetry is of course, the third worst in the universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their poet master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem “Ode To A Small Lump Of Green Putty I Found In My Armpit One Midsummer Morning ” four of his audience died of internal hemorrhaging and the president of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived only by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos was reported to have been “disappointed” by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled “My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles” when his own major intestine--in a desperate attempt to save life itself--leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Sussex, in the destruction of the planet Earth. Vogon poetry is mild by comparison.

Romney tied in CNN’s D+11 Poll:
Momentum. We’ve got it. Obama doesn’t. If Obama can’t win a D+11 (11ty!!) poll, he probably can’t win the Presidency. We won’t know until tomorrow, but all signs are fortuitous.

@ rain of lead:
One more day! I am so excited! I figure if CNN is cooking polls to the tune of D+11 to get Obama tied, Obama is pretty much toast. Romney would be slaughtering him with a D+1 or D+0 sample, let along an R+1 sample like Gallup is predicting. This is why you have to watch polls. You can’t just rely on the numbers they give you. You have to look at how they got those numbers. That is something the Outsider and Ferb just can’t seem to comprehend. I think our readers are smarter than that, though. One more day and a wakeup. I don’t intend to sleep tomorrow night until it is done. Of course, if Romney wins Pennsylvania, it may be done fairly early!
@ Iron Fist:
drinking night for sure..lol
@ MacDuff:
Indeed. Sometimes one votes not only to let one’s choice be known, but to also nullify another’s choice.
@ Storagemanager:
Concur with your sentiments. There will be some drinking taking place in WI as well — more when folks see the outcome of the election. Do not make the mistake of thinking WI will go to the Dems — instead, think of the outcome of the June recall election. WI just might turn R.
@ Storagemanager:
Oh, I wish! I don’t drink any more, but I wish all those who do a merry time! It is going to be strssful as hell. This is the most significant election since the election of 1864. Like 1864, it is an existential election for the United States. We really can’t surtvive another four years of Obama. Just the debt alone will kill us. We’ll be at over $20 trillion by 2016 if Obama is re-elected. We already owe more compared to our GDP than Germany did in the Treaty of Versailles. Obama added 50% to the national debt, and we got nothing in return. It’d be one thing if he’d bought a couple of more carrier battle groups, and bumped the whole Navy back up to over 300 ships, but he didn’t do that. He could have initiated a crash course to nuclearize the American power grid if he is really so concerned about GoreBull Warming, but he didn’t do that either. We got nothing but crony socialism for our money. He did pay some guy $2.6 million to go to China and teach hookers how to drink. There’s wise use of our tax dollars…
Mr.President it is not your voters who need revenge…it is those of us who suffered under you for four years….we vote to rid America of YOU.

I’ve been saying for a while that the Electoral Machine that produced June’s recall results would deliver Wisconsin to us. We’ve really won the last four elections straight there, so Wisconsin isn’t looking as purple as it used to. I hope Romney has coat-tails for the Senate there. I am really not too terribly worried about the Presidential election. Even the cooked polls have it tied, and that would make it a turnout election. And even the cooked polls have Romney up by big margins with the independents. That’s why they are having to cook the polls to the tune of D+11 to get a tie. No, I think we’ll win the Presidency. I don’t know if we’ll get the Senate, though. I think that will be close. I think someone will wind up with a 51 vote majority, but it could be the Democrats. We’ll see.

election officals in florida manage to make a mess again
Democrats Sue to Extend Florida’s Early Voting
In a state where legal action often goes hand in hand with presidential elections, the Florida Democratic Party filed a federal lawsuit early Sunday to force the state government to extend early voting hours in South Florida.
The lawsuit was filed after a stream of complaints from voters who sometimes waited nearly seven hours to vote or who did not vote at all because they could not wait for so long to do so.
Shortly after the lawsuit was filed, local election supervisors in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties, where lines sometimes snaked out the door and around buildings, said they would allow voters to request and cast absentee ballots on Sunday. Voters in three other Florida counties will also be able to pick up and drop off absentee ballots. State election law permits election offices to receive absentee ballots through Tuesday as long as they are cast in person.
But later on Sunday, Miami-Dade’s county election supervisor closed down the line for absentee ballots after two hours at its Doral office. It was eventually reopened, and election officials said that anyone in line by 5 p.m. would be able to drop off a ballot.
where is rodan
we need an on the ground report
@ rain of lead:
found this post at another blog
The long lines in FL are not because of an inadequate number of polling stations. It’s cause we have ten amendments on the ballot and they are all damned long and in legalese (of course). So the problem is that most people aren’t inclined enough to look at the sample ballot they send out at least two weeks ahead of time, figure out what you want to vote for or against, mark the ballot, and bring the damned thing with you when you vote. It’s taking some folks fifteen minutes to vote because they have to read all the stuff on the ballot
new thread btw
@ Moe Katz:
I’ll try to contain my amazement. If Mitt Romney were to declare his support for PM Stephen Harper, you’d go deaf from the sound of scorched cats from those guys.
