With no more further movement in the polls and Obama still leading in most battleground states (by most polls), including Ohio, Romney needs another game changer. Obama has already made some gains after the debate and it could be because of the jobs report or people are seeing through Romney's lies from fact checkers. People still have a problem with Romney. They know he is a phony flip flopping liar who will say anything to win and he is pretty blatant about it. Make no mistake the economy is improving and no president, not even Bill Clinton could have gotten out of the deep hole George Bush put us in in four years. So repubs, don't celebrate too soon because while Romney got a bump, the trend is still towards Obama. Obama would really have to screw up for Romney to win. The election will be much closer than 2008 but I don't think it's going to be close as the GOP is making out to be. It's just rhetoric to energize the GOP base.
But add to the fact that there are three debates left and Biden and Obama will perform better, this race is far from over. Once it is announced that Obama wins on election night, you won't hear a peep out of the GOP trolls on this forum because there will be a lot of liberals gloating. Thats the way it was in 2008. Some of the GOP posters disappeared from the political forum for days.
Here is an interesting article about poll hype. Be leary of the overall accuracy of a poll that swings 12 points over night because its a snap shot of a moment in time

Romney peaked last Friday which was when the Media was in full swoon over that American Idol contest others are calling a debate. Also, none of those polls that fed this media frenzy included much of the period following last Friday's favorable jobs report.
So repubs, don't celebrate too soon because while Romney got a bump, the trend is still towards Obama.
Typical ******* misinformation. The polls are absolutely clear - Romney has won this one by a mile, it's done, in the bag, Obama might as well move back to Hawaii today. The margin of victory is going to be so large, we won't even need extra votes on Nov. 7th. The campaign is already shifting resources from get-out-the-vote operations to the "air game" - Romney is saying he's got it covered on the 7th. All he needs is a certain percentage of his supporters and he's home and dry.
anyone getting tired of his heart felt stories were he feigns emotionality. I'm sure his people told him to do this. He comes off like a CEO when has to fire several thousand people to hold the bottom line, very unnatural.
Maybe just maybe the polls were way off originally,which some of us claimed. I make no bold predictions on this election,but many of last months polls were bull****. Obama is not popular. He may win,hell only three incumbent presidents the last 100 years have lost,but c'mon. No way does a guy with barely 50% or even below,win any landslide. That doesn't happen. If Hussein wins it's going to be a Bush 2 like victory,not a Reagan landslide or even a Clinton/Dole type of win.

But now that Romney's moved up, the polls have MAGICALLY CHANGED, right? Now they're accurate! All of the pollsters who were in a vast conspiracy to make Romney look bad got together, decided that fighting the truth was pointless, and decided to tell it the way it is...
All I can do is laugh--what are you going to say when they go back down? That the pollsters got back together and changed their minds again? It would be comical except that some of the people saying this crap are elected officials who create policy in this country. We have lunatics running the R party and it scares me to death.
And yet another thread displaying the worried Liberals attempting to reassure themselves that their Savior is going to win.
