Sununu was Claiming the Race was Tied on CNN

he was on Erin Burnett's show and he said Romney had wiped out the convention bounce obama got and the race is now tied. he also claimed Romney was leading in New Hampshire.

he said a bunch of other crap also but it was hard to listen after he said the above.

Not that I am against it. Don't do it myself, but know plenty of very productive people that do.

Sununu would give YOUR left nut to go back to the Bush1 glory days, which of course were only glorious for the 1%... that is until Bill Clinton and Al Gore kicked their asses to the curb.

7. I don't have the energy to find the link right now, but Yahoo had an article to that effect

It was something like "The Five Reasons Things Might Not Be So Bad for Romney" or something like that.

The salient points were:

1) The polls have a pro-Dem bias
2) Dick "Toesucker" Morris says that Obama's leads are predicated in blacks and Latinos showing up in unrealistic numbers.
3) The convention bounce has flattened.

My takeaway: They are trying to keep deapair from setting in over in Republicanland. They haven't lost yet (we are still seven weeks out), but early voting begins in many states the week after next, and Rmoney hasn't covered himself in glory lately. They are going to continue to make the case that the race is close.

Our job - keep attacking. Keep demanding Mitt's tax returns. Keep hitting them on stupid Libya comments; the 47%; bad spray tans; and whatever other self destructive behavior in which Rmoney engages.

They simply believe that the polls are skewed toward Democrats. Total denial.

Rasmussen has Romney leading in NH. The other polls have him trailing.

9. I saw that - he was extremely rude to her and talked over her

He seems to have highly contentious moments with everyone who interviews him and treats people with contempt. I'm surprised he gets invited back. His unpleasant demeanor is one of the worst advertisements for Romney that I can imagine.

He's on air to defend the Republican Party just as we have people on the Democratic side touting how we are going to win.

To be honest with everyone, I know how the shows are going to break, who is going to say what.

Until they actually ask questions that are not just fishing for the talking points, I will get my news from the internet sites like the NYT, Buss Flash and of course, all the links that are posted here on DU.

and we still haven't gotten to the debates and anything else which doesn't make him sound like some crazy bitter old senile spouting obvious lies.

It's why the local news spends so much time on sports and weather.

Because it's beyond their capability to put together anything deeper than standing outside a 7/11 that was robbed to tell us this 7/11 was robbed.

It's a fucking joke and the dumbing down of America is going to bring us down.

He's a rude blathering bastard who seems to have been dropped off the set of some macho 70's flick about tough bank bosses and the stupid broads who insist on talking.

Every time I hear it, I picture a failed car company. One that died because it was selling Republican Clown cars modeled after the Pinto.
