Crazy Intrade meltdown!

[Disgustipated]

I don't understand how it can be so close. Did people not watch the debate? Okay, I didn't, but I read about it. I think a President should know basic geography. That reason alone is why I can't in good conscious vote for Romney.

How can he not know Iran doesn't share a border with Syria, and that Iran has access to the sea? This leads me to believe he doesn't pay attention to the news. Why do I think he doesn't pay attention to the news? Because 6 months ago Iran threatened to close the Straits of Hormuz, and common sense would dictate they couldn't do that if they didn't have access to the sea. A president should be well versed on current events. And as commander in chief, he needs to know strategically how important the straits of Hormuz are. He isn't fit to be Commander in Chief.

The only thing I can think, is Americans really don't like Obama. They are impatient (like everyone else these days), and don't realize the economy will take a long time to recover. They want things now, and that just won't happen.

The "liberal" media has chosen to anoint Romney at this point, Disgustipated. It doesn't matter what happens, they'll cushion the blow for him and roll out the carpet.

Fortunately, Romney is still Romney and he could still "Mitt" himself in the short time we have left.

I hope for Mitt's sake the media doesn't need a script flip to drive up ratings in the next week or so

Ohio flipped to Obama, and Obama has about a 30 electoral vote lead?

I can see this being flawed in that it may be a skewed sampling (people with disposable income, access to internet, actually 'hip' enough to know the website) not unlike that famous skewed sampling typically cited in Statistics textbooks.
