(3,072 posts)The November 6th forecast is looking good too. Our guy is trending back up and The Mad Grinner is falling like a rock.

(13,992 posts)I hate to talk this way because some very good people (both Americans and Libyans) died in the past 24 hours, but it appears that in his attempt to score some points off this issue, Romney appears to have shot himself in the foot. And the ankle. And the shin.
The DNC have Obama a bounce on domestic issues, but this incident today may have sealed the deal with undecided and independent voters that Romney has no business in politics, much less in the White House.

(60,014 posts)So I predict it will only get better from here.
Jeff In Milwaukee
(13,992 posts)It takes about 24 hours to get a poll into the field, even more for anything beyond the simple "Approve/Disapprove" sort of polling. We'll know by Saturday how badly this has hurt Romney. My guess is that it's going to leave a mark.
Doctor Jack
(3,072 posts)The stories earlier today seemed to be more ambivalent but they seem to be moving in the direction of "yeah....this is really bad".
This seems like it is going to get a whole lot worse for Romney because this storm is over. I could see him really sinking now.

(894 posts)I think that the MSM's survival instinct is kicking in.
Who cares about the next election if the MittWitt destroys the country. The media wants ratings, not actual war where they could be hurt.

(13,992 posts)And even if we think Obama has it in the bag, let's not forget those Senators and Representatives and all the Democrats at the state and local level who need a big turnout.
To be blunt: Let's bury the sons of bitches.

(13,485 posts)so any vote rigging is either too hard to try or vote rigging won't matter. Otherwise, we had better keep out eyes open.

(60,014 posts)for election day - so he factors in bumps, timings, etc - pretty complex algorithm in use, I think. Anyone else help here? He's had requests to put definitions on the website, but hasn't yet.

(3,174 posts)Just as now, if the President doesn't have a clear majority of seats in both houses, he'll be hamstrung.
WE have to deliver the houses to him.
