I found this post over at Ace of Spades... FWIW.

(Romney) Plan seems to be:

(1) Stay reasonably close until the debates.
(2) See where you are right after.
(3) Don't worry about the personal attacks--never going to change them, and they really don't hurt.
(4) Paint the opponent as a someone who misused the public trust and failed with it.
(5) State this over and over again with negative ads in the two weeks prior to the election.
(6) Win with independents and lower turnout of the opponents base.


I think this has been gamed out on both sides. I think O and company are waiting for it. Nobody but the idiots in the media, with attention spans of gnats and brainpower to match, are celebrating just yet.

The O guys are trying to build as big a lead as possible for the onslaught about to come. History is about to repeat itself.

I really don't care about polls, especially after seeing the this history. This isn't 2004--Kerry never had this kind of history.

It will be an interesting 5 weeks. I don't think O got enough daylight to survive here, given how bad the economy appears to be. Plus, the Libya thing will hurt him, and we just haven't seen how much yet.

Two more monthly jobs reports will also be coming out before the election further destroying the “economy is doing better” lie.

Frankly, these numbers don’t look that great for our side.

Winning is still possible, but unless something changes in the next two to three weeks, it doesn’t look probable. We need something to to happen in our favor, and it had better happen soon.

Rasmussen’s latest numbers for a few of the states:
State - Obama / Romney
VA - 49 / 48
OH - 47 / 46
NV - 47 /45
FL - 48 /46
WI - 49 /46
MI - 54 /42
PA - 51 /39

MO - 45 /48
NC - 45 /51
CO - 45 /47
IA - 44 /47
NH - 45 /48

Obama’s within 1 point of having Virginia in his pocket and just 2 points shy of Florida, of all places.

Remember posts from right here only a year ago (or less):
“The dog catcher could beat Obama!”
“The DOG could beat Obama!”
“The ham sandwich could beat Obama!”

What happened?

Gallup's 16% Republican enthusiasm edge - this is the TEA partiers’ backlash against fake polls- plus the Catholic vote (no Democrat has ever won while losing the Catholic vote and NO ONE says Obama is winning this bloc) and Obama is done for.
