That a half-assed opinion piece ran in the Baltimore Sun?

Think if I was gun to head needing to pick the EC vote right now I'd go 303-235 Obama. On the other hand PPP is still spitting out an even race nationally as they tell us Obama is willing by 5-7% in every swing state, so something funky is going on. WaPo/ABC has it even nationally too. Really hard to see these swing states becoming blowouts - there's nothing in the safe states to explain the discrepancy. And we're still winning in our internals in Ohio. So who the fuck knows. Just give me a few glimmers going into election day, nationally and/or state polling wise.

Personal expectations are way down from a week ago, though I'm not sure how much of that is just me having a shitty week and projecting. Seems like the national polls shifted away a tad, and the state polls stagnated, but that might have something to do with who was polling and who wasn't.

The one legitimate bright spot was Barone sticking his neck out today for Romney (315-223). Landslide relatively speaking. He's a bit of a partisan, but he's smart as shit. The secondary bright spot is GOP campaign professionals really, legitimately think we're gonna win. How much is lying to yourself to make all the effort seem worth it vs. reality is an open question, I guess, but it's not made up.

How do you know what their internals say? In the past you have said friends tell you. If they were actually losing why would they want to tell you that?

Would he resign his house seat?

Thousands of absentee-ballot requests may have been erroneously rejected statewide because of voter-registration issues, voter advocates say.

Secretary of State Jon Husted has acknowledged that a data-sharing glitch between his office and the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles likely caused some absentee-ballot applications to be wrongfully rejected because county boards did not have up-to-date information on registrants’ addresses.

ON MSNBC, the ratio of negative to positive stories on GOP candidate Mitt Romney was 71 to 3.

The ratio of negative to positive stories in Fox's coverage of President Obama was 46 to 6.
