Yes, Polls; they are switching back and forth like an out of whack seismograph needle during the big one. This could be the big one. It's big, all right, and it's got more than its share of lies. The wacky thing is some people seem to be believing them. Romney understands this phenomenon - the Big Lie. The Big Lie Told Often. So he keeps right on spinning. General Motors is moving to China. No matter GM says it's not true. It scares people. So the needle swings. Yesterday - Obama up int he polls - today it's a statistical dead heat.
And who can forget those heady days of yore when Obama enjoyed a seemingly unbeatable lead? Before the first debate, when he deflated into the "flat Obama" that was seen gracing County fairs across the country throughout the summer.
Polls that are close as the ones we see today are all within the margin of error. It's anyone's race at this time. Can Romney keep on lying and reap the rewards? Or will the public catch on. Wait. GM is staying put. Wait, Romney was a believer in climate change before he wasn't. Wait, wasn't it Romney who invented Obamacare (nee Romneycare) in Massachusetts while he was governor? Why is he throwing his own ideas under the bus?
Bus, bus? I don't see a bus. The big question is who will the bus run over? who will it carry on to a victory tour?
Not even the polls know for sure. And we haven't even started down the long dark road to voter suppression.
