Either:

1) There’s a vast leftwing polling conspiracy

or

2) We are part of the slant.

Maybe the left has a weak turnout for BO, but also, Romney has a weaker base demonstrated daily on FR by people who’d rather teach the GOPe a lesson than send Obama packing.

#2 seems more and more likely.

We assume the left won’t turn out as well as 2008. But I think a lot of spite is going to materialize in the Laz-e-boys and popcorn sales when the puritanicals sit home and passively protest against republicans.

I’ll take #1 sprinkled with just a tiny pinch of #2.

Good point. We need to keep our principles, but take the long view. All this hand wringing isn’t going to produce a conservative majority.

Like I said, it ain’t gonna happen.

Keep in mind that for your logic to work, the reason the Dems are up so much is because we’re staying home. Well, that would mean more of us (five to six percent) are staying home than stayed home when McCain was up. Really? There’s a significant portion of the GOP electorate that thinks Mitt Romney is far worse than McCain, or that Sarah Palin was worth voting for but Paul Ryan isn’t? Poppycock. It gets to be even bigger poppycock when you add in that the GOP would have to be gaining in Party ID while Romney is our face during an election year, but have several percent less turnout than four years ago when we had one of our worst defeats ever.

That scenario is beyond bizarre. I’m not buying it.

"But I think a lot of spite is going to materialize"

Yeah...That'll teach us. Obamageddon.
