What happened to the Polls?
The one thing we can see is
that the polls have turned heavily to
Romney’s favor. But there is a
bigger story than that in that the polls are still skewed toward the Democrats
in the demographics.
Here’s from the Real Clear Politics list
Poll Result Demographic
AP R +2 D +6
IBD/TIPP O+3 D
+7
ABC/WP R +1 D
+4
Monmouth R +3 D
+4
NBC Tie D
+6
CBS O +2 Tie
W.P. R +3 D
+4
The unknown is the turnout,
but the indicators are that the Republicans
are more enthused than the Democrats are for the coming election. Rasmussen
uses a D +1 poll. It appears that
Romney is much more ahead than the polls indicate. A recent Gallup poll in the crosstab found more Republicans or lean Republicans will
vote this election than Democrat or lean Democrats (2008 this was D+12, now
it’s R+3 a 15 point swing). The last Democrat stand is to try to get the not likely voter to vote and
have them do it early. There are
still about 2% who are undecided.
History tells us they will break heavily for Romney.

Peggy Noonan nails what happened to
Obama in Denver
Why was the first debate so toxic for the president? Because
the one thing he couldn't do if he was
going to win the election is let all the pent-up resentment toward him erupt.
Americans had gotten used to him as The President. Whatever his policy choices,
whatever general direction he seemed to put in place he was The President, a
man who had gotten there through natural gifts and what all politicians need,
good fortune.
What he couldn't do was present himself, when everyone was
looking, as smaller than you thought.
Petulant, put upon, above it all, full of himself. He couldn't afford to
make himself look less impressive than the challenger in terms of command,
grasp of facts, size.
But that's what he did.
And in some utterly new
way the president was revealed, exposed. All the people whose job it is to
surround and explain him, to act as his buffers and protectors—they weren't
there. It was him on the stage, alone
with a competitor. He didn't have a teleprompter, and so his failure seemed
to underscore the cliché that the prompter is a kind of umbilical cord for him,
something that provides nourishment, the thing he needs to sound good. He is not by any means a stupid man but he
has become a boring one; he drones, he is predictable, it's never new. The
teleprompter adds substance, or at least safe
What ever happened to our post
racial President?
Camille Paglia expounds on why she isn’t voting for Barack Obama:
It
would be a tremendous transformation of attitudes. And instead: one thing after
another. Not least: I consider him, now, one of the most racially divisive and polarizing figures ever. I think
it's going to take years to undo the damage to relationships between the
races.
What ever happened to Keith
Olbermann?
Perhaps he has proven himself to be
the “Worst Person in the World.”
What ever happened to Global
Warming?
The debates this year
were absent any mention of Global Warming.
This was the first time this has happened in 24 years. And what ever happened to Al Gore?
What happened to pursuing jobs in
his first term?
When asked if he regretted pursuing
ObamaCare and other liberal social priorities in his first two years rather
than focusing on the economy, Obama said:
"Absolutely not," Mr. Obama told the Iowa
journalists. "Remember the context. First of all, Mitch McConnell has imposed an ironclad filibuster from the first day I
was in office. And that's not speculation."
No, it’s not speculation, it simply
a falsehood. Remember what Rahm Emanuel
said, "We have the votes. F-- 'em.”
Does that sound like someone who was hamstrung
by filibusters?
What will Obama miss the most about
not being President?
The plane will be missed and the
police escorts too, but I think it will be the lavish entertaining done at taxpayer expense.
The
Obama extravaganza two years ago for Mexican President Felipe Calderon, which
included a performance by pop star Beyonce cost $969,793, or more than $4,700
per attendee, the documents show.
What happened to the Progressive Paradise
The American people are in for it. When Republicans lose elections, they blame each other: Talk radio
blames the RINOs; the squishes blame the pro-lifers; the social conservatives
blame the Big Business types, and so on. Each faction maintains that their
party will never find acceptance with voters until the rest of the movement
looks just like them.
When Democrats lose, on the other
hand, they blame America. They tut-tut about gullible voters being way-laid by
crafty messaging. Or rubes foolishly voting against their self-interest. Or
middle Americans being a bunch of fundamentalist crazies. (Remember the
“Jesusland” map after 2004?) With a
Republican wave about to wash over the Obama administration, the public is due
for a good talking-to. On the nation’s op-ed pages, it’s already started.
I don’t think they will simply blame
America. Of course America is the
primary villain, but Bill Clinton is
already being mentioned and we’ve heard the claims that Romney is
lying. I even read a piece that blamed Bush because he didn’t crash the
economy back in 2005 so the American public would have elected Obama and
seen that he was doing so much more than Bush theoretically could have
done.

Probably this is correct. In both cases you’ve gotten screwed.
