Dems hijinks and early voter count? Axelrod is downplaying polls and focusing on early voting. The walrus probably instructed Democrat election operatives to double count for Obama. Hopefully wise Repub operatives have kept close tabs on the integrity-challenged Dems.

Speaking on CNN's State of the Union, David Axelrod said that recent polls of the race that show Romney with an edge nationally, buoyed by a higher percentage of Americans who believe the Republican nominee would better handle the economy, contradicted what the president’s team is seeing on the ground. "In that particular poll, Candy, that may be the case, but in reality that's not the case," Axelrod said, rejecting the findings of one such survey. Axelrod said the polls had failed to capture the president’s strength in early voting. Recent polls, with a little over a week until election day, have shown Romney with a slight edge nationally, but the two candidates statistically tied in most of the battleground states which will determine the outcome of the race. Axelrod said that the Obama campaign had prepared for such a scenario, and that the likelihood of a close race this late in the game was part of the reason they had made such a strong push for early votes. "We built our campaign and our organization for this very close race, and we're very confident in where we are now and where we're going to be on November 6th," he said.

This one is great! During a recent Romney campaign stop, a heckler from the audience hollered, "Hey Mitt Witt, where are you hiding your tax returns? Governor Romney politely responded, "I've found a very secure place where I'm certain they won't be found." The insistent heckler, then shouted, "And just where is that, dummy"? Governor Romney smiled and said, "They are underneath Obama's college records, his immigration status as a student, and his funding sources to pay for college. What's your next question?"
