So we get at least 1 political survey call a day, sometimes 2.
90% of the time I hang up on them, 50% of the time my wife hangs up on them. Depends on how busy we are.
Mine and my wife's answers would all be in the Obama sucks/prefer conservatives-area.
Obama is currently leading in most polls by 1 or 2 points.
So I wonder... which political side is more likely to sit through all these polls? I don't answer most of them, so they are getting that many fewer answers against Obama. Do lefties make more of an effort to answer polls and show their Obama love? Is it the reverse, and conservatives are more likely to sit through polls to show <s>racism</s>Obama hate? Is there no statistical difference?
Not that it matters. Peeps have been saying that Jimmy Carter was leading in all the polls right up to Reagan's landslide, and Obama gets compared to Carter a lot.

The MSM polls show Obama winning. Their respondents, by their own admission, skew left.
The more unbiased polls show either a tie or Romney winning.

I still call it for Obama, provided he avoids fucking up badly in October, which is always a possibility.

A fuckup wont matter if it doesn't get reported. I consider this embassy-thing a major fuckup, but it is being generally ignored.
Bush's fault. Did you hear that when the first WTC tower got hit, he finished reading that book to those kids instead of running out of the room immediately in a panic?

And if he had run out in a panic, they would have called him a coward and bad leader...

People who say the MSM isn't biased or is biased to the right are either lying or the stupidest human beings alive.
The MSM is ignoring a LOT from Obama's past. They're ignoring this whole gun thing with Eric Holder. They're ignoring Libya.

I fully expect Obama to win despite that thing I posted previously that has never been wrong and predicts Romney wins in a landslide.
I don't know that the Republicans could have put up a worse candidate or run a worse campaign.

There's plenty of worse candidates.

People who answer surveys tend to skew female and left (I used to work at one of the largest polling companies in US). Numbers are then "corrected" based on respondents and how they represent the actual population.

White House tells contractors to break federal law and not inform employees ahead of time of layoffs, prior to the election.

And promises to pay their legal bills when they get sued.

South Park repeat was on yesterday. It was the one where they had to choose the new school mascot from two equally shitty candidates. Stan refuses to vote because of that fact and spends the entire episode having his will beaten down before finally succumbing to the ballot. Except for the ending, it sums up my feelings nicely.

I wonder if the media stories about tomorrow night's debate are already written. No matter how badly he tanks, Obama will still be the second coming.

People still pay attention to the debates? How quaint.

Obama is expected to do poorly. He needs a teleprompter to be a genius.

He's going up against Romney. Shit, I think I could win a debate with Romney.
