Let's talk Electoral College

[Townsend]

How about we do this?

How about YOU cite the polls where his haven't improved or have gotten worse.  Since you seem to like to ask people for citations.

Quick Robin!  To the Bat Fox News website!

If Nevada is not in play why would both Obama and Romney be spending crucial time and money there in the final two weeks of the campaign?  

Maybe they were not spending money there. Maybe they were getting money there.

This is just hilarious watching the left acting like someone stole their wubby. Seriously, when you are left relying on a 30 something man child that used to post at DailyKOs to prop up your positive election news, you've pretty much hit bottom.

LOL  Maybe...  Except there's that pesky little thing called reality.  Both Obama and Romney are doing campaign events, not fund-raising events, in Nevada this week.  (It would be an even worse sign for any campaign to be doing fund-raising stops at this late date.)

You want reality...

Millions and millions of campaign contributions to political campaigns and PACs. And that is just from one husband and wife.

If you don't believe that campaign stops are for more than just kissing babies for the photographers, you are naive.

Whatever, dude.  If you think that the fact that Romney raised money from Las Vegas donors early this year somehow proves that (or is even relevant to whether) he is now in Reno on a fundraising visit rather than a campaign event stop, well, there is just nothing I can do for you.

With both candidates going to Nevada, I just assumed both were degenerate gamblers.

Cashing in the flyers handed out on the Strip.

I bet Romney saves a ton at the stripper bars by not drinking.

He buys those $100 non alcoholic drinks that the dancers love.

Who would ever go to Reno to raise money?

Is it really that difficult for you to follow along, or are you just that dishonest? 

Nobody every said or suggested the candidates did not raise money in Nevada, either Las Vegas or Reno.  Fundraising having been conducted in Reno in early 2012 has no relevance to whether the campaigns are doing campaign events this week in Nevada.  No matter what other irrelevant bluster you may post, the reality is, both campaigns are doing campaign events (not just fund-raising events) in Nevada THIS week.  That is a sure sign of a state that is in play.

It's more than a little disingenuous to demand citations from someone not making a particular claim.

How about I provide backup and sources for claims I make and you and Nathan provide backup and sources for claims you and Nathan make?

I use Gweeds favorite - 538, as I always have.  I cited it last election cycle and will continue to cite it as he has been proven to be pretty close to the mark in the last two election cycles.

Whether or not you agree with it isn't my concern.

In another thread you claimed Obama is moving up in state polls.  In which states have Obama's poll standings recently improved?

Why don't you go over to realclearpolitics.com and click the link that says "latest election 2012 polls" and look for yourself? Then be amazed that Obama is still several points ahead in Ohio and Nevada. "In play" does not mean "could go either way".
