   What fans? All the polls are based on who answers the phones in the middle of the day at home. Which is mostly liberal wellfare dynasties.

   Keep telling yourself that. What will be your excuse on November 7?

   That is possibly the worst drawing of Obama and Romney I’ve seen on these pages. Without the context of the newspaper that Obama is holding, there’s no way I would have figured out who these two are supposed to be.

   Contrary to what the media and some of Obama’s most die-hard sycophants want people to think, Obama’s antics and mistakes are getting to be so egregious that even people who were once opposed to Romney (like some Evangelicals) are now willing to cast their votes for him.

   In fact, the latest fiasco in Libya – wherein Obama kept blaming the movie even after the evidence concluded the attacks had been pre-planned well in advance – has cost him an astounding amount of credibility.

   Wow, that’s just fictional.
   Try looking at this site: www.fivethirtyeight.com. It is done by a statistician — a baseball statistician, too, actually! — who analyzes ALL the major polls and many of the local ones. In 2008, he called it for Obama back in March, accurately predicted all the Senate races, and nailed 49 of 50 states on the popular vote. It’s an education on how polls are done, as well as a good metapoll.
   You may reject it out of hand when you see his current prediction and odds, but I suggest you look anyway.

   Biased polls will always show bias. Even the Obama campaign is admitting that Obama will probably lose the debate and are adjusting their stragegy.

   I’m sick and tired of polls. Wait till the election. In the meantime, please, Obama supporters, don’t get overconfident.

   Did you get the Mouse ears when you visited Fantasyland?

   That’s what I find so interesting about the “Religious Right.” They claim to follow their own religious principles so strictly but will give them up on a moment’s notice to gain political power.

    Typical reDUMBlican lie. My household gets at least one call every NIGHT and multiple every weekend. As a small business owner we are far from a “liberal wellfare dynasty”. Is that all your ignorance and partisan minders allow you to think?

    I’ve been called from AZ at 9:25pm my time. After 9:00 is unreasonable and I told them so. I don’t care what time it is there, my kids only care what time it is here when they are trying to go to sleep.

    Shouldn’t you be hiding under bridge, waiting for a billy-goat or something?

    Ain’t it funny, watching the same folks who were crowing from the rooftops whem Mitt was ahead, suddenly deciding that ‘polls don’t matter.’

    I concur, Donald. Hardly among Steve Benson’s finest moments in pencilling.
     
    However, re the toon itself: As the Packers discovered Sunday night, just because the replacement refs were incompetent doesn’t guarantee that the regular guys WON’T be.
