Ouch! The New Republic: Romney’s Best Polling Day Yet
I almost feel bad for them that they had to post it. Almost.
This is probably Romney’s best polling day of this election. Not only did he hold leads in the battleground state polls but Romney made relatively large gains compared to pre-DNC surveys. And the North Carolina poll where Obama led was partially conducted prior to the debate and Romney led by 6 points in the post-debate sample. Romney even led a poll in Nevada, the first he’s led since the onset of the general election campaign. The national tracking polls didn’t point toward any additional gains for Romney, but that’s hardly good news for the president, who largely trails in the national polls.

How is Obama leading by 7 in Michigan, which overwhelmingly elected a Republican governor in ’10? That makes no sense to me.
P.S. A lot of these are still very close. Close enough for Romney to lose and/or the Democrats to steal easily. Limbaugh is talking about “blowout.” We’ll see.
1) Detroit
2) Jennifer Granholm is not black
3) Granholm had been governor since ’03 and everyone was fully aware of how disastrous her policies were. O’s been shielded by the media to a far greater extent.
MI may go to Romney this year, but if so he’ll have already won enough electoral college votes that it won’t matter.
Boy, throw in the complete mishandling of the Benghazi attacks and you can understand why there is such pure panic. And after four years of history with Obama, will the voters who are a part of the ‘tide’ turning towards Romney really change yet again, say, after the next debate? Obama is the known. One debate won’t change many minds back again, unless Romney really blows it.
We have to win by significant margins or we will lose narrowly.
Hugh Hewitt wrote a book titled: If it’s not close, they can’t cheat.” Of course the unspoken corollary to that is that IF it is going to be close, then not only will they cheat, but they will cheat AND win!
We can’t eke out narrow victories, in the fashion that Karl Rove prefers. We have to wipe them out. We can’t emulate the Norm Coleman style of waging political combat, and be surprised if we lose to a Franken on the strength of voting fraud on a massive scale.
The Democrats ARE going to cheat, they always planned on cheating, and they can’t envision waging an election without cheating.
They KNEW, they ALL knew, that they planned on ramming sodomy on the military, ramming socialism on the economy, ramming socialized medicine on American healthcare and of course ramming a new normal down the throat of Uncle Sam. AND of course they knew that the bitter clingers would resist, that the popularity of Democrats would plummet, SO THEY ONLY way they could still hold political power is through media malpractice and voter fraud.
I wonder if the boy scouts at the head of the Republican party are FULLY aware, fully apprized of that sad, solid and sobering fact.
Oh God we’re going to find out within weeks.
Watching Paul Ryan get his head handed to him the other night, leaving us in the GOP to whine about Biden’s overbearing manner, makes me very uneasy whether or not we’re going to blow this thing late, all because of our failure of moral imagination in regard to who and what our opponents are.
Ryan didn’t “get his head handed to him”.
Not objectively or subjectively. You either have trouble reading, or just have an oppositional disorder.
I suspect the latter.
Look into Romney’s recruitment of lawyers all across America. Then take a few deep breaths.
