You anger, negativity, and pesimism will not work here. True conservatives are committed to their values and don’t back away or hide even when the odds are against them.

And on a whole other note, the polls are weighed differently this election to favor the democrats. That’s a fact not a myth. Don’t take my word for it, email or call up the polling companies and they’ll tell you their mathematical formulas. But I understand that reality is not something your interested in.

From everything I can tell nearly every poll is weighing dems far heavier than historical models and actual election turnout.

I think the vary fact that some of these polls are so skewed to the libs is explanation enough.

The RCP average is probably the best indicator of momentum. Obama lost a couple points a few days ago but today gained 1.1 points, to get to 6.9%. The race seems relatively static.

Odds are that battleground will tick back toward Obama tomorrow.
