During the Civil War, some American admiral was warned of torpedoes threatening his Navy ship. (Torpedoes in the Civil War are what we call mines today.) He reportedly said, "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!" (Since he was a damn Yankee, I won't identify him.)
Today the appropriate statement for Republicans is "Damn the polls, full speed ahead!"
Now we are nearing the end of the 2012 presidential campaign and the polls are against us. There is much evidence that the polls cannot be believed, that they are false, that they are deliberately misstated to depress the Republican vote. However, we cannot assume that this is true. We have to have a huge turnout of our voters. We have to show up at the polls and vote!
My belief is that we have a very good chance of winning this election. William L. Gensert at American Thinker believes this too -- see his post, "It's Over." (The title is a bit of justified sarcasm.)
Who will win the presidential election of 2012? We won't know for sure until early in the morning of November 7th, the day after the vote.
After that, it is what it is and there is no use worrying about it.

Don't give up so easily, Stogey. Todd Akins says the ladies are lining up to vote for him.
I never give up, chrys. Todd Akin may indeed still win. He has obtained some much needed funding. See http://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2012/09/27/todd-akin-demint-conservatives-fund-missouri-senate/1597445/

" I feel intellectually quite superior to liberals in general and you in particular. Just being honest."
Yes. And being honest for me, it is near-mathematically perfect joy of watching smug and contemptible creatures of the right dodge, swerve, make excuses, and, most of all, whine. There is no joy in the kingdom of man so great as the joy of seeing bullies and hucksters laid low, and watching people who have arrogantly spent years assuming they were right about the world living to see all those haughty assumptions die before their eyes.
It’s not lies with which Limbaugh and Morris and their ilk are now coming face-to-face. It’s the truth. Americans like Barack Obama. USA voters (and you) don’t like Mitt Romney. People of USA (and you) really don’t like Paul Ryan. And the people don’t want any part of your ideology of callousness, make-believe facts, and pigheaded warmongering—and economic crisis and big deficits and all of that—that the RepublicanTs are peddling.
Of course you will never come to terms with all this (which really puts a sh!t eating grin on some). But right now, boys, you’re running out of targets, and excuses.
Just being honest.

Ema, your comment is just a copy and paste job from an identical comment elsewhere. I suspect that you got the comment off of some leftwing talking points website. Are you even capable of independent or original thought? Probably not.
