With the week (from a polling standpoint, at least) that Mitt Romney has had, any day that you are not hemorrhaging is a comparatively good day. So let's call the day a decent one for the Republican nominee. There were not a flurry of polls showing him down high-single or double digits in states thought to be tossups less than a month ago. So, I suppose, he has that going for him

And, he may well have locked down Indiana. So, there's that, as well.

The problem persists, however, for fans of the GOP ticket. If you want to stay tethered to the planet (which would demand that you ignore all of this inane "unskewing" bullshit), it is becoming harder and harder, as time continues to grow shorter and shorter, to envision a coalition that gets Mitt Romney to 270 electoral votes.

The bottom line is this: when Mitt Romney's "good polling days" have him down two in Virginia, Nevada, and North Carolina, then he is not having a good day, after all.

a good read.
