I stopped reading right there. Don't ever compare Obama and his campaign to the cast of idiots that made up the republican primary field. That was a touring circus.

Not at all. September is the month when peaking carries over into October, as momentum is fast to rise and slower to fall. Mitt peaked too early; his highest point was in late June, way too early to hold momentum.

Believe me, this was intentional. The Democrats held their fire until both conventions were over. Even so, they had to counter Mitt's TV blitz much more than they wanted.

The 'October Surprise'- when one candidate is suddenly revealed in some bad way- just happened to Mitt. It came 2 weeks early, but that 47% thing is gonna stick, and it's gonna hurt.

Yeah, Romney will wake up tomorrow with an actual amount of integrity. He will have the character of Eisenhower and the eloquence of Abe Lincoln. Face it...Romney is just not a good product. He would recalled if he was an appliance. There is just no there there.

There are those that will support him in spite of knowing this.
I agree his peak was before he started, it was easy then it was all hype and expectation...........turned out to be misguided.

I agree with the bold, but don't think he is incompetent or a socialst (lol) everytime one of you says he is a socialist I giggle and feel bad for you for not knowing what a socialist is.

We've seen what Mitt Romney is at this point. I really don't see the debates swaying anyone either way at this point. We know what Obama will say, and we know what Romney will say.

Obama isn't peaking, he isn't doing anything of substance whatsoever, Romney is just bottoming out (although I don't doubt his ability to do worse).

Um, that was the Republican primary, which played to the insane Republican base. You guys hated Mitt so much that you latched onto every Johnny-come-lately until they proved even too insane for the insanity of the GOP. Mitt won by default - last man standing.

I wouldn't count on the same happening in the general.

I don't think so since early voting already started in North Carolina and others will follow the end of the month including some swings states like Virginia. Ohio's early voting starts October 2nd. It may be your opinion that there is no other way but down but the way Romney is running his campaign, I beg to differ with you! Obama has room to move farther away from Romney especially after the debates.

Here is the schedule on the website.

Let the (early) voting begin - Now with Alex
