A few examples; If everyone gave as much to charity as the Mormons do, the whole argument about welfare, foodstamps, and social security would be moot. If everyone treated others like practicing Mormons, crime would plummet. Although you mock the Mormon temple, the divorce rate for...

Do Mormons think for themselves? Harry Reid vs Mitt Romney. Case closed.

+1 In fact, there are many things that are core to the Mormons that our nation could use a bit more of in my opinion.

From what I know of the rituals, there were many incorrect points in that video. It sounded more like a stand up comedian spinning and exaggerating things into something funny. And no, none of it is in a "whole new class of wacky". It's strangeness to atheists is pretty much right on par with...

I've been wondering about that pretty seriously the past few days. The so called "cover up" has been exaggerated by the GOP for sure. They are calling this the biggest cover up in history. That is nonsense. How about a little perspective time and again. In this case, so far there hasn't...

Well, if you do the electoral math, he must also get NC and VA. His only other option is to pull off very surprising wins in PA, MI, and WI. When it comes down to it, each state is its own place, but there is a lot to be said for national trends in a tight race. If Romney can't pull it off in...

Guys, you can't declare an Obama loss from VA polls. That state is a must win for Romney, not Obama. Romney absolutely needs VA, FL, NC and OH. His leads have opened up in FL and NC. Looks like maybe VA is gonna open up a bit, but he is still underwater in OH. If he gets that too, he only...

LOL, I wasn't trying to suggest that they were neutral. Those three IMO, have a natural inclination to call someone out when they are obviously dodging. They are not weak and timid and usually help to direct the flow of conversation a bit better. They are also articulate and concise so they...

Yes, and for numerous reasons there was a dramatic increase in Dem registration in 2008. That will not simply vanish this year, although it will be reduced for sure.

I would've liked to see a selection for at least one debate from the following list; Anderson Cooper Wolf Blitzer Brian Williams

1- I see your point. But the verbiage and numbers suggest that any such weighting adjustments would've been minor. 2- Several of those might be the case, but without studies it is speculation. Anyway, that doesn't change their party ID, it only changes their vote. I believe that there are...

Specifically, this poll gave a lot of detail and provided unweighted numbers. I also think it is fairly safe to assume that the actual voter turnout will be equal at best from a GOP viewpoint. In 2004 it was even and in 2008 Dem turnout was +7%. Even under the current circumstances is it very...

I agree with you that the Romney lead amongst indies is a big deal, but equally as important are women. That is the whole drive behind war on women campaigning. Obama carried women (the largest voting group) by 13 points in '08, while he only tied with men. In the pew poll, Romney leads by 8...

Oops, you're right. Page 15 was white voters. Page 14 has the count with all likely voters and it breaks down as follows. GOP 35.2% Dem 32.4% Ind 29.5%

I just went through a good part of the lie list. It isn't hard to convince me that any politician lies or distorts the truth frequently, but that list is stretching Free Thinker. The vast majority of the "lies" are opinion and cannot be demonstrated adequately by fact. Other "lies" are in...

Drill a bit deeper in that poll. You posted the breakdown of registered voters, but that was not the poll showing Romney +4. The registered voter poll has them tied. The romney lead being cited was LIKELY VOTERS. I mispoke on the 38, i meant 36. The breakdown for likely voters was; Gop...

The pew research poll that everyone is citing showing Romney +4 had repubs sampled at 38% of likely voters. That is over sampling in my opinion. But it is telling that amongst registered voters in the same poll, the dems were at 33% while GOP was at 32%. It says something about the enthusiasm...

Look at the "we ask America" polls that show Romney with a slight lead since debate. They are baking in MORE GOP voters than dems, especially in FL. I would argue that is actually over-sampling republicans slightly. The PPP poll in WI has Obama +2 with an equal sampling of GOP, dem, and...

Look at the recent post-debate polls in OH, VA, etc. they have Romney tied and many of them did not over sample dems.

330 - 208 ??? The model is very suspect. It's true that the polls aren't completely accurate at this stage (or ever), but it is all but mathematically impossible for Romney to put together 330. Mitt would have to sweep every battleground state AND swing PA, WI, and MI which polls would...
