Well, its now one day until the Election, and the Poll threads have been exploding over at Freeperville.
I have my own prediction - I'm taking a week off posting, unless Schadenfreude dictates otherwise.
Let's suit up and spin that airlock door, shall we?
In reverse order from oldest to newest - Galluping along!
Gallup Tracking: O-50/R-44 Gallup ^ | 9/26/12 | GallupPosted on Wednesday, September 26, 2012 12:12:45 PM by tatown
7 day tracking: O - 50/R-44
3 day tracking: O - 51% approve/43% - disapprove
I don't know what to make of this. Up until about 4 days ago, Gallup had the race tied. There was a sudden shift to Obama on either Sat or Sun which showed up first in the approval number. I thought it was a one day good sample for Obama but that day rolled off the three day rolling approval tracker today and his approval number actually went up....?

To: stephenjohnbankerThey are doctoring these polls, to make it seem that Obama is more popular than he really is.
And, they want to demoralize Republicans by claiming the Romney campaign is imploding.

To: Perdogggoodness. EVERY POLL shows Romney losing, the one guy left his campaign for Wall Street and even NRO is saying Romney is shifting his strategy. Something tells me that R/R are down in their own polling. Doesn’t mean they’ll lose but lets get real here for a minute. It doesn’t look good at this point.

To: almcbeanAccuracy as in they had Obama winning bigger than he did but they were still accurate in that Obama won. I don’t really care if they’re off a few points the fact is all these polls keep showing Obama ahead. And how exactly with the price of gas, and food, and the cost of debt, and the bad employment numbers along with the fact that NOBODY really likes his Obamacare plan does this bastard get 50 to 51 percent job approval. Romney is not running an effective campaign if this is the case. Is he afraid to be tough?
This is a disaster.

To: tatownThe day after the elections: "The nation is stunned. Every poll in the country showed the President up by anywhere from 5 to 15 points, and yet Romney wins by 8??? The case for Republican voter fraud couldn't be more obvious...disenfranchisement of Democrat voters at record levels..."You can see it coming...an obvious set-up.

To: GilGilI’m going to find all the same posts like yours from 2008. When all the polls showed McCain losing for weeks yet people here still insisting the polls were wrong. The similarities are annoying to say the lest.
Face it. We’re squabbling over a few points. Another Freeper made a good point. With all the mess all over the world, Romney should be up by 5 at least. Gas and food at record highs. Our embassies being overrun. An American ambassador was KILLED for god’s sake. This race should be over. Shame on Romney for such as sorry ass campaign.
To: snarkytartWell, looks pretty good for the “Fonz”. Maybe weve been the ones in the bubble.
To: tatownI realize most of these polls are flawed, but seriously WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY? We have a Marxist idiot in the WH destroying this country,and if (GOD forbid) he gets 4 more years I have no doubt he’ll finish the job, and the mere fact that he might get relected just makes me want to puke? Hence, my tagline.

Rasmussen: Obama 271, Romney 267 OCT 5, 2012 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
One month and one day before the most important presidential election in the past quarter of a century and perhaps in the past century and a quarter, Rasmussen Reports shows the race being about as even as it could possibly be. At this point, Rasmussen’s state-by-state polling shows that President Obama would win by the tally of 271 electoral votes to 267 for Mitt Romney.
All of Rasmussen’s polls in the nine key swing states have been taken in the past three weeks, although the polls have been taken at different times during that stretch. In these nine key swing states, Rasmussen’s polling shows Romney leading in Virginia (by 1 percentage point), Florida (by 2 points), Colorado (by 2 points), Iowa (by 3 points), and New Hampshire (by 3 points). Rasmussen’s polling shows Obama leading in Ohio (by 1 point), Nevada (by 2 points), Wisconsin (by 3 points), and Pennsylvania (by 12 points).

Video: Donald Trump Promises Bombshell on Obama

Billionaire Donald Trump said on Fox News that he will deliver a bombshell on President Barack Obama on Wednesday, but he refused to reveal details. He assured viewers the news could change the outcome of the presidential election.
Trump has endorsed Mitt Romney after having considered running for president, and he has been one of the most vocal Americans doubting that President Obama was born in the United States, a condition for being president.
The real estate magnate phoned in the news to “Fox and Friends” and said he has "something very, very big concerning the president of the United States. It's going to be very big. I know one thing; you will cover it in a big fashion."
Trump wrote on Twitter, "Stay tuned for my big Obama announcement,” and then sent another tweet, "Just wait and see!"
"It's very big. Bigger than anybody would know.”
Fox asked Trump if the news is personal or if it reflects his capacity to govern, and he answered, “It’s all in one.”
He said he will make his announcement around noon Wednesday, and American media undoubtedly will be on edge, not to mention Obama’s campaign team.

Donald Trump to reveal ‘divorce papers of Michelle and Barack Obama’,
Daily Mail ^ | 10/23/12 | Daniel Bates
Posted on Tuesday, October 23, 2012 4:51:44 PM by Nachum
Donald Trump is to claim that he has unearthed divorce papers of Michelle Obama and the President, according to a respected financial pundit with links to the tycoon. It is alleged that the eccentric real estate mogul will claim that the documents show the First Lady and the President were at one point in their two decades of marriage seriously considering splitting up. Trump set the hare running on Monday by claiming that he was set to make an announcement on Wednesday that would be ‘bordering on gigantic' and that it would ‘possibly’ change the Presidential race.
Full title: Donald Trump to reveal ‘divorce papers of Michelle and Barack Obama’, claims respected financial pundit*****************************************************Ha. Gloria All Red goes to court to unseal Romney records and the Romneyaks counter with their own reveal. Popcorn time!

To: moovovaI wonder if the cause filed by Michelle was that she found out that the Bamster was frequenting certain rump ranger hang outs in Chicago. That might get interesting if this is the case. The irony would be delicious indeed since this is how he won his election to the Illinois Senate to begin with. He had his operatives reveal sealed divorce documents of his rival's ex-wife
claiming that he was a swinger.
To: NachumIf thrice divorced Donald is planning this as his “blockbuster”, I sincerely hope he reconsiders. The blatant hypocrisy will be unavoidable and will NOT help Romney.

I doubt this was his original intention, but whatever Trump had would likely have backfired. This won’t even go noticed except as a punchline.

To: liberalh8terHe's got the goods on Obama's foreign student status and he's betting $5 million that Obama won't - can't - release his records.There is absolutely no evidence at all, anywhere, that this is true. You believe this only because you want to.
If Trump has the goods, then let's see it. Trump also claimed his investigators were finding out all kinds of amazing stuff about the birth certificate, yet that never panned out either.
Trump is a clown. Period. If he sacrificed some of his own credibility to muddy up the waters and help negate anything Allred might have had, then I give him kudos. Unfortunately there is no reason to believe that is what happened. Good thing Allred has nothing anyway.

GOP Volunteer Lied About Beating, Threats (Kyle Wood)
http://mediatrackers.org ^ | october 29, 2012 | Brian Sikma
Posted on Thursday, November 01, 2012 12:27:32 PM by lowbridge
According to notes filed after a police interview Monday afternoon, Kyle Wood, the GOP volunteer in Dane County who said he was beaten last week for his support of Republican Congressional candidate Chad Lee, recanted his testimony about the beating. Wood apparently indicated to law enforcement officials that his story was fabricated or otherwise false.
Wood had shared information with Media Trackers subsequent to the beating purporting to show harassing text messages sent to him by Philip Frank, the spouse of Democratic Congressional candidate Mark Pocan. Individuals who know Wood verified the accuracy of his claims to Media Trackers but those claims now appear to be false. Media Trackers believes Wood misled us and lied when questioned about the accuracy of the information he claimed to have.

A week off posting? I'm almost certain Schadenfreude is going to dictate otherwise.
Also, I've been waiting for the Republicans to start their own "Death to America" chants -- I suspect Mr. Let-America-Burn is just the forefront of the new GOP trend. If America won't love them, it won't be long before Limbaugh starts telling his listeners to strap on a bomb vest for Al Qaeda.

I just love the "and this is now" polls listed in the Freeper thread.
Talk about cherry picking...
The preponderance of polling gives the edge to Obama, but you can always find a daily outlier showing the opposite. To the Freepers, the outlier is the signal, and the preponderance is the noise.
How very zen of them.
Posted by: Razor Eddie | November 05, 2012 at 07:46
Wow. Hadn't heard about the volunteer in Florida claiming to be beaten. Brings back memories of last election where someone claimed to have been cut with a ?B? for being a repub.
I also think of the people signing up people in Florida who were shown to be illegally discarding people trying to sign up as dems. Wonder if these are connected.

Sly fox that Trump is, I'm betting he drops the bombshell when Obama least expects it, say 11/07/12.
And the Freepathon is actually moving along. They're at 76% in just over a month. Of course there is weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth over what the Freepathon pays for, along with gloom and doom over what will happen to the site on election day. I wonder whether vanman will be back.
I'm a little surprised that nobody in South Freepistan seems to have noticed Lindsey Graham's preemptive take on the inevitable excuse that Romney wasn't conservative enough:
Tommy--
Thanks for all your hard work this cycle. Tuesday's going to be a tough call: crack van or watching the Freepi freep out? I guess with the speed of their site I could do both.
