Romney tied with Obama, 49-49… in CNN’s D+11 poll. The CNN honchos are probably ecstatic: “See, America still luvs you Dear Leader… we do, we DO! (sob!)”

  • D+11. I am always stunned that I have underestimated the stupidity of people again, when I see proof every day of overwhelming stupidity. (In my job and watching the news, on the internet. I dont watch the Communist propaganda news networks). But CNN with D+11 to say, "See, our messiah is winning." and there are floundering idiots that still consider CNN to have credibility. No wonder the Nigerian Prince and Grandpa scams are flourishing.

    • Not the one I saw but;
      The problem begins when someone who has received an absentee ballot, but doesn't fill it in, shows up at their board of elections to vote. They will be given a provisional ballot instead of being allowed to vote on the spot.

      Xavier University Political Science professor Gene Beaupre says there could be a potential problem with a large number of provisional ballots. "The risks seem to be that if they get a substantial number of provisional ballots. In fact they'd have to get more than the margin of victory in the race, then that becomes an issue."

      For example- if candidate "A" is beating candidate "B" by 100-thousand votes, but there are 101-thousand provisional ballots, under Ohio law those ballots couldn't be counted until ten days after the election. That could potentially make the outcome of the presidential race dependent on the results of the Ohio vote

    • Did you happen to catch former Ohio Sec. of State Ken Blackwell over the weekend talking about the potential for a nightmare scenario here? It was an interview, see if I can find it or a transcript, I'd just screw it up if I tried to explain it all. The gist of it is because of new election laws there's a possibility (remote but there) that Ohio won't be able to certify the election until the 17th. Can you imagine the screeching if the whole election is hinging on Ohio and they can't even OPEN the provisional ballots for ten days by law?

  • The Communist News Network came up with the D+11 because they fully expect the dead to arise and vote demorat.

  • How do they get the 49% for Obama if their own internals tell them that Romney is closer to 60%? They're worse at math each election cycle! A second grader could figure this one out, unless of course he went to public school in Shitgargle.
