.@joshtpm @polltracker Can I tell the app I want notifications on ALL state prez polls, or do I have to favorite 50 states + DC separately? #
RT @joshtpm @abulsme @PollTracker u have to do it individually. we dont want people to get overwhelmed. but its easy to do #
.@joshtpm Added the swing states for now. I’ll add more later perhaps. Note you don’t have DC. Not many polls there anyway. :-) #

Lots of fun stuff happening in the news today. I was home today, but I was home sick, so haven’t had a chance to look at much yet. But wow. #
RT @DrewLinzer For the record, Mitt Romney was going to lose anyway. #
RT @ezraklein So was this the reset? #
RT @DeathStarPR Mitt Romney’s campaign just exploded so hard that an X-Wing and the Millenium Falcon were seen speeding from the wreckage. #
MT @BuzzFeedAndrew RT @brianstelter: As of 10:15pm, Fox News has not mentioned the leaked Romney video once. Its focus on protests overseas. #
Wow. Romney’s response when asked about the video is really incoherent too. And gets facts of what was released wrong too. #NotHelping #
RT @LOLGOP BREAKING: Todd Akin asks Mitt Romney to step aside for the good of the party. #
RT @ThoughtnDesign @abulsme Is it me or did he have a little Scrooge McDuck thing going on there with his wing tips? #
@ThoughtnDesign He always looks like that. :-) #
RT @RQDammit: @abulsme whats ur thoughts on this? http://t.co/qKiNH0GH #
@RQDammit I think it is very funny. When the Romney folks were talking about rebooting the campaign this is not what they had in mind. #

MT @GlennThrush: Let’s see if perception Romney is collapsing is matched by polls showing same before we call this one in the 7th inning. #
