My dad is a big strong republican always watching fox news, and when he left it on yesterday I couldn't help but overhear some of O'Reilly basically saying "Romney has opened up his largest lead over Obama ever in Gallup daily tracking polls, has Obama just lost the election by endorsing gay marriage".

Couldn't stop myself from chuckling, thinking back a week or two ago when republicans were touting Romney's big gallup lead that swung to just as big an Obama lead within a week in Gallup daily tracking.
