My thoughts exactly! Of course it would not do to be over confident at this stage, but I think the Freepers who are comparing Mitt to McCain are making a big mistake. I agree that McCain did not really want to be POTUS. His attempt to control Sarah Palin is evidence of that very thing. He is very comfortable in his role of criticizing America from his safe Senate seat and all he really wanted was to have "his turn" at being the Republican nominee. He also had, comparatively speaking, very little money to spend in the last couple of months leading up to the election. You also have to remember that you cannot believe ANYTHING that the MSM says!
On the other hand, I think that Mitt VERY much wants to be POTUS and really believes that he will be better able to turn the economy around than Obama. He has MILLIONS of dollars to spend and the ads that will show the American people what a disaster the DNC was are probably not even ready yet! You can not believe the polls that are showing a big bump for Obama following the DNC because, according to the ratings, even fewer people watched the DNC than did the RNC. I do not think that the debates are going to help Obama and they will absolutely destroy Biden. Also, it does not matter what people tell a pollster, especially over the week-end. What matters is who cares enough to get themselves out of their easy chairs and go to the polls to vote for their candidate. Even though the people at the DNC were very enthusiastic about Obama, I really believe that for many Obama voters this is not the case and they will not go out of their way to vote. Those like me that believe this election is the last chance we have to save the American way of life will move heaven and earth to vote against one whose mission has always been to destroy it. Just my two cents.
Excellent post, take a bow! :) Might I add that Mitt indeed wants to WIN. He is a biz man who has prepared his whole life for this race with no interest in the D.C. cocktail party Sunday talk show circuit. As for these polls, we will have two months of these crazy numbers...frankly, I prefer they show Mitt down so we fight harder and stop at nothing to get out the vote.
