Even as the most recent polls show Obama's convention bounce fading (as expected), that doesn’t mean our dishonest and corrupt media is going to crawl off the bandwagon they crafted over the weekend proclaiming Obama's win as inevitable.
The Narrative is the Narrative is the Narrative, and this phony story of Inevitability was the only cannon shot our corrupt and dishonest media could fire that would smother the news of Obama's lousy convention speech, his delegates booing God and Israel, and the worst jobs report in two years.
So a few polls come out documenting a run-of the-mill bounce and BOOM, CRASH, BANG, SMACK -- the election's over!
Except, you know, it's not.
I keep telling myself to ignore the MSM polls. It's hard. All of this obama is gonna win in a run-away polls is disheartening even when I look at the sampling and know otherwise.
This shit has got to stop.
Anyway. I'm trying to report something positive. I, for one, need something positive.

Just keep in minds that most of the polls showed Carter way ahead too.
we all know how that turned out.

As much as the pro-obama polls dishearten me as well, I like to think that the better the are for Obama, the more that some voters who lean toward for him would be complacent enough to stay home, thinking that he's going to "walk away with a victory, so why bother voting" type mentality.

That's one of the things they're trying. It's also why so many polls are all but eliminating independents. I recall reading something posted here where the internals were like 50% Dem, 45% GOP, and less than 5% independent, which is incredibly inaccurate.

They may have lied then too.

Nobody knows what to do with turnout. Even Ras uses 2008 turnout as weights. There is no good predictor, as far as I can tell.
BTW, there's a new NBC/WSJ one out, giving big zero a lead in OH. It was a D+10 sample.

It's not all bad. This Potemkin village press presentation of Obama's strength also has the effect of suppressing his fundraising and turnout, and motivating ours to redoubled efforts, as long as the supposed gap in favor of Obama doesn't look hopelessly out of reach.

They may have lied then too.
No shit? Do you really think so?

Do they ever tell the truth? I can't remember a single instance,

I do think so.
I try to avoid making absolute statements because I am not always right or up to date.

James Carville back in late August pegged Romney with a 15% lead with Independents.
Democracy Corps poll shows Romney up 15 among independents (http://hotair.com/archives/2012/08/29/democracy-corps-poll-shows-romney-up-15-among-independents/)
If true then Barry Sotero is finished.

I should have paid closer attention to this. Some woman was on PBS yesterday doing a talk/interview/question appearance about a book she wrote called, I think, "The Swing Vote". It was about the supposedly 'independent voters'. It was at some college with a bunch of moonbats in attendance. She was trying so hard to hide her liberal bias that I got pissed and didn't pay to much attention.
A few years ago, I read an article that said presidential elections were decided by 10% block of voters. ....and that 10% was white males. So, I would like to know what the poll numbers are like for white males.
