I could see results like that in some parts of the country, but without a broad sample (doubtful given the source) such polling is inaccurate at best. |

Faux typically slants towards the south. Places like rural southern states and Texas could produce results like this (especially if also slanted to males). How many of these 155 (what kind of a sample is THAT???) are from east-west coastal regions? Probably none, since that's not their audience. Ailes is likely attempting to calm an unhappy party (like Rmoney's a "centrist"...ha!) and get them to vote in November by convincing them it's ok to support Rmoney with ginned up polls like this. |

The demographics of the sample have nothing to do with Fox's audience. Besides, except for Virginia, North Carolina, and Florida, the coastal regions don't matter. |

If I was to leave the country you'd never see those boxes again. Since you say they're so nice,why not keep them for your next retirement home? Considering the Rmoney economic plan, you're likely to need them. More so than I. |

Yes, the angelic democrats all wanted to do the right thing and the evil republicans wanted your house to be washed away. Why are democrats, the predominant party in NY, not viewed as complicit in your situation? Why is it that you just can't face the reality of the situation? |

There are more black voters in South Carolina than North Carolina so why can't Obama win South Carolina? I'll guess it's because NC has a larger white liberal base in the Triangle and big cities while whites in South Carolina are more likely to be hardcore Republicans? |

Overall no way.That's what I meant. Blacks are a bigger percentage in South Carolina. So why can't Obama win SC? Is it because of the lack of white liberals as compared to NC? I really believe that the Rev Wright ads in NC and Duke Lacrosse case were instrumental in driving the huge turnout for Obama there. |

But Rove's is hysterically eyoorish. South Carolina in play? His map includes "leaners", which can be misleading because the term has absolutely no accepted definition. As for the map TD linked to, it's also very optimistic. Only a Romney landslide would flip both PA and OR red. |
