It looks like this year's presidential election is going to be a real nail-biter up the the very end. Unless either of the candidates is revealed to secretly be The Joker, I don't see a landslide for either. But the latest surprise in the polls is the way Romney pulled seven percentage points ahead in the Gallup poll. This is remarkable because all the other polls are much closer, with one or the other candidate ahead by only a couple percentage points. There's no question that Romney has closed the gap with Obama since that first presidential debate. When Huffington Post looks at the average of all the poll results, Obama and Romney are tied! Will we have another ballot recount like in 2000? (Please NOOOO!!!) But wait, there's one huge thing we're forgetting here.![]()
