Wow, Val and Rachel in one night. Did the Mensa meeting end early? Val, tell us how accurate polls are over time? The simple answer is to just add the bias points in. Any good gambler knows that. If Obama gets elected because you're right...welcome to Idiocracy where incompetence is as great as bumps in the road.

You must be the world's worst gambler in addition to being one of the dumbest people on the face of the planet.

And under the bus trig goes. You are a wonderful person with love in your heart.

Snicker.

I don't gamble. I take calculated risks.

Still walking the earth when I could have been killed 100 times. If I were that dumb, you'd have to believe in God instead of Darwin.

Trig? As in Trigonometry?

You really are a Mensa gal.

It's demoralizing, day after day, to hear the MSM crowing about some poll that is supposedly declaring the election all-but-decided in favor of Barack Obama.  What's more, it's frankly hard to believe: The economy is tanking (with the unemployment rate expected to have gone up again in September), the Mideast is on fire, and a majority of Americans think the country is on the wrong track.  Yet voters are salivating to go out and pull the lever for Barack Obama and get more of the same?  Really?
