Axelrod: Romney does not have "big momentum"
CBS News ^ | October 11, 2012

Posted on 10/11/2012 5:34:35 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

President Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, denied on "CBS This Morning" that Mr. Obama is sliding in the polls and that Mitt Romney is gaining momentum.

"I don't think there's a slide in the polls; I think there was a bump after the debate," Axelrod said Thursday. "I don't think there's big momentum" for Romney, he said, allowing that the Republican challenger "collected a couple of points."

On the morning of the first and only vice presidential debate, Axelrod said Vice President Joe Biden's challenge "is going to be to pin Congressman Ryan down."

"The Romney campaign is running away from some of their positions like unwanted step children, but we're going to hold them to them," he said.

On the ongoing investigation into the administration's handling of the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya, Axelrod defended U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice's initial comments that the attacks were "spontaneous." He said accusations that she was pressured to make the remarks is "absolute nonsense," adding that she repeated what she was told by the intelligence community.

“Are there REALLY people out there that just aren’t sure who they are going to vote for?”

They’re apparently out there...with eyes wide shut while strolling through La-la Land.

Romney is ahead by 1.5 percent in the RCP poll average, Romney is ahead in the liberal polls too.

Keep it up Axelrod, you’re a genius!

I am curious if David Axelrod was adorned with tire tracks when he gave this gem to the press.
