Election 2014

Washington (CNN) -- Five days before the presidential election, polls in some crucial battleground states suggest two things: The race is close, and President Barack Obama appears to have a very slight "inside the sampling error" edge over Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

The president on Thursday ended a three-state swing with a rally in Colorado. A few hours earlier, a CNN/ORC International Poll indicated that 50% of likely Colorado voters support Obama, with 48% backing the former Massachusetts governor. The president's 2-point margin is well within the survey's sampling error.

The poll's Thursday release also came on the same day that Rep. Paul Ryan, Romney's running mate, headlined a rally in Greeley, Colorado. The top-line results of the CNN survey are very similar to an American Research Group poll conducted this past weekend that had Romney at 48% and Obama at 47%, and an NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll conducted last week that suggested the race was tied at 48%.

And Hurricane Sandy? Some folks are saying that God is on Obama's side. Science says the unique conditions that caused this storm are a result of polar ice melt - weather on steroids. Religion says God is moving to save the planet from global warming, something Obama has promoted.
Soon, Romney will be saying he believes in global warming again if his campaign guys tell him to (after he blows a $million on a poll)

So

How do ya think Rmoney likes his fat boy from NJ snugglin' up to the Pres? Christie is up for re-election next year, and can't afford to hitch his wagon to a falling star in a solid D state. I say the bipartisan co-operation is causing the RMoney boat to sag under water a little bit more. Odds for an Obama victory are at 70/30. This weekend, Obama comes to Pennsylvania. Right next to Ohio.
