“It’s my in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” MSM polling frauds from the 1980s. Then WaPo editor Ben Bradlee once admitted his paper’s polling methodlolgy was crappy: “Tough sh…t, Rollins, I’m glad it cost you plenty. It’s my in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.” Are Obama’s 2012 polling “leads” the lamestream media’s “in-kind contribution” to their new BFF? You betcha.

Let them lie, and then let them riot, they're good at that. Then when they want us to rebuild their neighborhoods and schools and businesses, we say: "GFY, your burned them, you buy them!"
I'm with you, they burn down their neighborhood, eff them, let them worry about rebuilding & paying for it. But we leave it, & those who burned it in the first place will move elsewhere & ruin another area. Happens all the time, & history repeats itself.
I've always felt the same way about prison riots. You burned your mattress? Poor baby, now where you gonna sleep?
I can 10-4 that!
"NOW you'll build that!"
Today the media are trumpeting a CBS/New York Times poll which has Obama ahead 53-43 in Ohio, 54-42 in Pennsylvania, and 51-47 in Florida. The Romney campaign basically says the oversampling of Democrats is ridiculous. There are potentially serious consequences to skewed polls.
1. Obama voters think he has it clinched and then not voting and then rioting when he loses.
2. Romney voters thinking he doesn't stand a chance and then not voting when he could have won if they turned out.
Polls showed Obama leading by 9 and 10 points over Hillary Clinton before the New Hampshire primary in 2008. Hillary Clinton won going away, by several points. Bill Maher mentioned that he wonders if Obama got cheated. A person in the know told him that the New Hampshire turnout was considerably different than the way the polls were weighted.
the story is that Hillary cried and the white ladies came to her rescue
Both your scenarios are chillingly plausible, and I'm not sure which one frightens me more.
