Do the trolls in the 2012 board actually believe what they're saying?

on another note, the general forum consensus is still that obama's gonna win right?

I would say, yes.

I certainly hope we're not getting as over-confident as we were toward the end of September...  

I would certainly not get over-confident... but considering the end of September was followed by early October ... and look what happened then.

I think there's a lot of generosity going on here...

I think a LOT of them, genuinely believe what they're writing. They've spent the last four years watching Fox News, reading RedState/Alex Jones/assorted crackpots/UNskewed polls etc and listening to Hannity etc, and dismissing MSM sources because they're obviously in the pockets of... pick which ever group they don't like to insert.

They believe Obama is the WORST president ever, that he's everything bad he's been accused of, they cannot understand how, in their frame of reference (since it's obvious what they agree with is correct), Obama could win anything, or that the electorate could be in any way shape or form like 2008... because 'I know Obama is that bad'. So they fixate on things like party ID, because they've read that's how Obama and his puppets in the MSM are fixing the polls...

I feel sorry for genuine rational conservatives who try to provide sensible analysis, but get drowned out by the crazy.

Sorry for the rant, but I can't f***ing stand it...
