PRUDEN: Why the media spin on the Nov. 6 presidential election is wrong

Wesley Pruden

A few more “really bad weeks” like last week for Mitt Romney and somebody will have to stick a fork in President Obama. He’ll be done.

Despite the hammering Mr. Romney took from the president and his media claque, he moved from 5 or 6 points behind in the Gallup Poll to a dead-even tie at the end of the week. Rasmussen, whose different methodology has made it consistently the most reliable of the polls, called the race dead-even as well.

The president still leads in several of the swing states, so-called, but in some of those his lead is shrinking. You wouldn’t know this from the noise in the mainstream media, so-called, and even from some of the conservative pundits who, though easily intimidated by the noise from the back of the press bus, usually constitute the only counterweight to the prevailing liberal media mob.

Nevertheless, a different version of the news is seeping through the media consciousness. Mr. Romney took hits for his mild observation that the president’s reaction to the killing of the ambassador and three other Americans in Libya was wrongheaded, but at the end of Mr. Romney’s “really bad week” the White House insistence that the deadly riots in Libya had nothing to do with terrorism fell apart.

The president was left with scrambled sheep’s eyes (if not egg) all over his face. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s press aide became so frustrated answering questions about the administration’s crumbling story Monday that he called a reporter a [rectal aperture] and suggested that he perform an impossible sexual act on himself...

I was part of a panel discussion on HuffPo earlier this week, and let me tell you, those people are going to be on serious suicide watch if Obama loses. It was a complete echo chamber and so removed from any objectivity or reality that it was like watching mice in a maze.

It was “Morning In America” and “Noonan” was writing the speeches. But it is now late AFTER-NOONAN, time for her to say good night as a new day dawns.

Not suicide watch. Murder watch. They better have a seriously heavy armed watch on them.

Welcome back from ObamaZombieland!

Courtesy of the Mainstream Media. Don't forget, the MSM is willing to sell out the country to print/report/spin the election for Obama. We need to remember them after the election.

You all are so deluded. Bill Kristol, the greatest conservative mind that assured me only Romney could win is now assuring me that not only is Romney losing but that the democrats are retaking the House, retaining the Senate and doing it by a ton. I trust Bill Kristol because he gets all his inside information from the cocktail set in DC which, of course, is also made up of people who in no way support Obama other than voting for him and donating to him.

Nooooonan!!!

Obama has been making plans just in case he doen’t win.
He’s been buying dogs.
He plans to be a rancher.
