Unchanged from yesterday. That being said no incumbent who was ahead at this point in the Gallup Poll has ever lost.*









* I have seen that assertion thrown around but I am not one hundred percent convinced of its accuracy.

1. Good to see, but I'm still afraid they'll cheat.

Ever since 2000 I'm never comfortable and that concern/fear only gets worse as the GOP acts more desperate with each new election.

2. I Would Like A Bigger Lead Before They Go To Their LV Screen

But the results are what the results are...

And out of a dozen nat'l polls, eleven have Obama in the lead...

3. It will widen again after the first debate.

At least that is my prediction.

Perhaps I'm a bit biased, but it's totally inconceivable to me that Willard could get a bounce as a result of his debate performance.

The TV analysts keep saying that Romney got more practice through the primary process, but I'm thinking that will just give him a false sense of security.

Let's face it, debating the likes of Perry, Cain, and Bachman was like a pillow fight compared to the Seal Team Six attack that will confront Romney at the debates with Pres. Obama.

4. Plus He's Unlikable

Kerry and Gore wiped the floor with Bush* in their debates but their wins were mitigated by the fact that Bush* came off as "everyman".
Romney with his Thurston Howell demeanor is just not likable.

5. Really, the lead by Obama should be much larger. This is close enough to steal again. nt
