Do you acutally watch it?? Hannity,Smith,The Five(minus BB),Rove and others say it daily

And yes...others outside of Quaker have said it

Not once did I hear anybody say "Romney is the heavy favorite to win this election." You are just spewing bullshit without any substance. You actually think anyone here believes you watch fox news? You go out finding polls that are in your favor, yet you watch fox news long enough to gain a large enough sample of people essentially saying Romney is "kicking obama's ass"? Excuse me while I LMAO

Because many of his state polls are bull****.

So this time around we can expect the Mellman Group to come out most accurate?

The GOP looks to have narrowed the early voting advantage that the President saw in 2008 was my main point in posting a rebuttal. The President received 46% of his votes in early voting and won by 2.8% in '08. Not doing the math this late at night but if early voting stays this close it's hard to imagine he wins Florida this time around.

7 days out...that's not a very encouraging sign.

Mother community activist, quote that he votes Democrat majority of the time. I found the read on Rassmussen interesting I just can't get that bias taste out of my mouth on that one.

[LEFT]A 2004 Congressional Research Service report notes that there is no constitutional instruction or federal law on postponing a federal election.

However, the report theorizes that presidential emergency power could be used to delay an election — specifically, if “attacks, disruptions and destruction are so severe and so dangerous in certain localities, particularly in crowded urban areas, that the President under a rule of necessity may look to protect the public safety by federalizing State national guard and restricting movement and activities in such areas which would obviously affect the ability to conduct an election at those sites.”

Congress could also theoretically step in and pass a law or give that power to the president, the report says. Courts have typically left it up to Congress to set election procedures.
