"A man's got to know his limitations."
The national LV poll is meaningless. What matters is who's got the lead in which states.
As of today, Obama has 275 EV without including Colorado and Virginia if you include the States where he's got a slim lead. If you disregard all of the States where neither candidate has a lead outside the MoE, Obama has a solid 65 EV lead.
Moreover, Romney has never managed to come close to Obama (let alone exceed him) for even a single day since January. McCain was *much* more competitive than Romney has ever been.
This race has never been close, isn't close now, and (barring some miracle within the next 3 weeks) will never be close. But of course the media won't tell you that because they know you'd stop watching if they admitted it.

Ya know... A forum where people regularly act out any which way they want with no regard for other posters could be interesting, but only in the same sense that watching Jerry Springer is interesting. You might consider starting up such a forum and even inviting Suit to be a mod over there.
Personally, I won't be joining. There's a reason why discussion forums have rules against trolling, personal attacks, and thread-jacking: people can't *discuss* anything in such an environment. I happen to enjoy discussing things, and football and politics rate fairly highly. If I wanted to sling feces like a monkey in a cage, I'd have booked myself on Maury Povich.
Suit was repeatedly warned about his behavior and never showed the slightest inclination to respect the rules of this forum or anyone else in it. He was long overdue for this and I for one won't miss his antics. Kudos to the staff for finally ridding us of him.
One final request for the staff and I'll drop this matter for good:
If I ever behave in such an outrageous manner as to warrant a ban from this forum, please don't take so long to get rid of me for good. It's not fair to the other members to subject them to that, and I don't want to be that guy.

I heard Bill Clinton stump for Obama today and he sounded like somebody's crazy hillbilly uncle trying to sell you two male breeding hogs. Barnum was right. I also heard Hillary speak at another location and she just gave me a migraine.
