We're in trouble.
Obama's at 48%, 49%, sometimes even 50% in swing state polls.
Big deal. The Rmoney base is fired up like never before to vote. Wild horses couldn't drag them away from the polls. On the other hand, there's an appreciable segment of the Obama vote that will be less than 100% committed, whether through real doubts or just plain laziness. Add that to the maze of restrictions being imposed by R*p*bl*c*n election law restrictions, and there could easily be 5% or 10% attrition in the Democratic segment of the vote. And that would be a disaster.
This is why the big R*p*bl*c*n issue these days is so-called poll bias. They don't want their segment of the vote demoralized.
This is a lot closer than we'd like it to be. Make sure your Democratic neighbor does not fail to vote. For any reason.
