The mainstream media made a hearty go of it, attempting for the last few weeks to portray the Nov. 4 election as a toss-up. But poll after poll is now showing those reports to be nothing more than a barrel of red herrings: Republicans are solidly in the lead with just more than a week to go.
Over the past several weeks, a dozen stories or more have painted the Colorado race between Republican Cory Gardner and Democrat Mark Udall for the U.S. Senate seat there as neck-and-neck. CNN and the mainstream newspapers have repeatedly said the race is too close to call.
But as FiveThirtyEight’s Harry Enten tweeted at last week’s end, “There hasn’t been a live interview non-partisan sponsored poll showing Udall leading in Colorado in 6 weeks.” In fact, RealClearPolitics.com, which keeps track of all polls, said, “Gardner has now led in every poll but one since mid-September. His lead is likely ‘real’; Udall probably needs a late break or for the polls to be simply incorrect to pull this out.”

I am getting sick of the political adds from democrats like Conway and Mathias saying how much they have done for us, and how much they care for the Eastern Shore, when their voting record says otherwise. Can't even watch the local news anymore. You have 1 minute of news and weather and then the rest of the time it's political ads or some annoying drug commercial! I have decided to totally stop watching tv until the elections are over!!!! I have already voted and I didn't vote for a democrat!
