Default Predicted 3rd debate effect on polling

"Who won?" is a little subjective. How about "What will happen after the debate?"

How about, "What will happen to the electoral college vote in swing states, especially Ohio and Florida, which is the only thing that matters?"

How about, "Can anyone name any way in hell for Romney to win the electoral college requirement of 270 votes based upon current polling?"

If the state polls are inaccurate or old, and Gallup's national poll is correct, the two cannot be that out of sync, right?

Maybe America has just had enough of Barack... That would be enough to get his opponent elected.

The odds on Romney winning keep coming down.

If Obama losses this -- it will be because of his dedication and love for corporate America.

The Dow was at 8,134 during Obama's 1st day in office. It's 13,300 now.

The economy has done great for him... just for a lot of the wrong people.

another person told me America would be better off with Romney because it will make the Christian God love America again.


I could only respond with and then I reminded her that Romney is not a Christian.

You don't understand that pie charts are '"actual math?"

Oh. My. Gawd.

Is it silly? Of course. Any sillier than the beliefs of the other majors? Not really if you break them all down to their own nonsensical customs.
