Quote of the Week

"We have the math, they have the myth."

- Obama campaign manager Jim Messina.

How do we know Messina is right?  Because FoxNews is basing all its poll analysis these days on breaking down the national polling numbers (which remain close) while ignoring the polls from the states in play (which clearly favor Obama). 

I actually heard Karl Rove this morning breaking down the numbers in the national polls to show that Romney voters are more energized than Obama voters.  Rove made no reference to Obama's clear lead in the recent Ohio polls, and instead talked about Ohio only in terms of early voting and absentee ballots.

Nate Silver says it best:  "Mr. Romney has few chances to win unless the state polls are systematically wrong." I think the folks at FoxNews are beginning to feel that way as well.  And that's why Rove and others are pushing the myth.

And speaking of FoxNews, I know a lot of you out there can't stand to watch that channel.  I usually feel the same way, but I watch FoxNews when things are going badly for the Republicans, and that's why I was watching it this morning. 

It's hilarious.  Definitely treat yourself and check it out.
