Mitt Romney is trailing in almost every poll, but the right wants you to believe none of them are accurate. Chris Kofinis joins Ed to talk about it and says, "Tell me the poll where Mitt Romney is ahead." Watch it.
What do expect from people that believe in trickle-down economics; the president was born in Kenya; Obama is a Muslim; deny global warming; still believe there are weapons of mass-distruction in Iraq; Sadam was behind 9/11; waterboarding is not torture; austerity will bring prosperity; and last but not least that there is widespread voter fraud. Seems like denying polls, when you don't like them, fits right in, pun intended!

Mitt is losing in Michigan, Mass, New Hampshire, and California - 4 of the 5 states he has a house and calls home. Red rover, red rover let Utah comeover. In his birthplace state of Michigan they quit advertising two weeks ago and it is a delight. We feel so sorry for the battleground states where the superpacs are video stalking with obnoxious ads the last person who hasn't made up his mind - whoever could that be? Don't forget that Mitt spent all that money in the Iowa primary and drove his results down from the previous time he ran. It's catch 22 for Mitt - the more he advertises the worse it gets. Don't take it personally Mitt, it is the bankrupt "I hate my government" GOP ideolology that is so repulsive.

Since we are overseas we got our electronic early ballots from Pierce, County, Wa. We voted, printed them off and mailed them yesterday. I have voted America!
Also, people you better purchase some bacon, and get it dipped in chocolate, and freeze them while you can, because of the upcoming, worldwide bacon shortage.

The gop=tea baggers have a plan and that is to stop the vote. I have been seeing the red states doing this and now people who live there that are gop or even tea baggers are now finding out they cant vote either. In texas I believe you can show a permit to carry but a VA ID is not valid. I hope these people of the old gop wake up and find out that their rights are going to be taken away along with everyone elses rights.
The polls show that the president is leading but I agree it isnt over until it is over and the gop=tea baggers have shown how evil they are. They all wave the consitution and speak of rights for all but they have no quams about stealing others rights to vote to advance their agenda.
The polls say that the gop=tea baggers losing and they are losing in many other races that will make the government work better and we need to support local races also and not listen to the phony polls from the talking heads of right. I just laugh at the idea the evil left wing media is treating romney and ryan worst and they keep talking of the 47% and that all the poll takers are left wingers. Strange the foxie snooze polls show the samethings that other polls say. What world are these people living in. It is the world of denial on everything that is common sense about the world we all live in.

I agree with Gloria. It aint over til it's over. Don't take ANYTHING for granted when dealing with the right. They are proven liars and cheaters. They are proving it right now with their "polls" because, well, they don't like the real polls. They are going to claim this is a 50/50 race right down to the wire.
THEY LIE

I urge the Democrats to not be too overconfident! The GOP/Teabaggers will do anything to win this election. I am even looking into early voting in California which is something I have not done since I was in college. I trust the polls, but worry about behind-the-scenes **** the Repukes are going to pull. California is not known for being a blue state but unfortunately I live in a more conservative area than most of the progressive areas of the state. Obama has got to win. I heard preachers are telling their people to pray the Democrats out of office----what the ****? Oh, yeah, the party of GREED falls so in line with the Christian philosophy, what was I thinking.

OFF-TOPIC
Just got an email from AARP that the Oct. 3 debate will focus on the economy, yet-----get this------absolutely NO questions will be asked about Social Security or Medicare!! Say what??!!
Ed, can you look into this? This was supposed to be the backbone of the so called Ryan budget!
How can they just leave this discussion out???
They need to return the debates to their rightful owner---The League of Women Voters. Ever since they let the media and the FEC take over the process it has gone to sh*t!

I love it that the GOP lies to itself too. They think the problem is the candidate and the polls. It is only partially due to the candidate - he is a dog that won't hunt. It is primarily due to the bankrupt GOP ideology that has infested the conservative brain on every issue.
Trickle down is a fraud and proven failure. Income has been distributed from the middle class to the priviledged since the union busting class warfare began in 1980. The Bush Doctrine is a mission unaccomplished lie based on a preemptive strike based on another lie. The entire GOP is shilling for monopolies that think they are small businesses operating in a free market - not to mention they are super persons too. The GOP neglects soldiers when they are discharged and become veterans by gutting health care and opposing housing and job programs. It goes on and on and by any demographic the citizens are abandoning the GOP - women. African-American, Native Americans, Latino, LGBT, Asian-Americans, senior, youth, middle-class, needy, and even old white men and long time old style Republicans are slipping. What's left - Rush Limbaugh and the ditto heads. BFD
