    Does Moddy work for Gallup? They asked the same question -- who will win, not who do you want to win -- and 54 percent say Obama to 32 percent for Romney.

    Nate Silver debunked Gallup weeks ago. I no longer take their polls seriously. Using Gallup now is like looking at baseball batting average as a measure of production.

    It's also disgraceful to try to get another poster fired.

    It'll be interesting to see what the early-vote totals end up being. All I know is, a LOT more people I know are showing up early, and reporting enormous lines. And these are in areas of Chicago where there are zero competitive races. My wife's 75-year-old uncle told me he just went, "to get it out of the way."

    If your goal is to be Ted Kaczynski without the homicide, go for it. May you live a long and free life.

    But "disingenuous" is way too pretty a word for people who live in communities and think they get a line-item veto.

    Spreading the lie makes you as bad as the original liar.

    In the interest of equal time, I offer Dick Morris prediction that it will be a massive Romney landslide and that, when the dust settles, Republicans will control the Senate 53-47.

    Of course, if Dick is wrong I'm sure the same people pointing at Nate Silver and shouting "Nerd!" will feel Dick is discredited forever, no?

    Behold the power of the SEC. A Washington Times columnist cited a rumor on an LSU message board about Benghazi.

    Next, the Washington Post will be citing Starman's rants!

    Dick Morris has bee pretty thoroughly discredited, and disgraceful, in my mind for a while. His latest foolishness about the Senate seems par for the course with him. Sort of supporting my previous thoughts about him.
