Chuck Todd: With Strong Debate Tomorrow, Romney 'Could Win This Election'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/15/2012 8:36:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Last week, Chuck Todd came in for criticism at NewsBusters for sniffing off a Rasmussen poll favorable to Mitt Romney as "slop." But has yesterday's slop become today's sirloin for the NBC political director? Sure looks like it.

In a remarkable shift, on today's Morning Joe Todd stated that in recent days he has seen a "structural shift" in the polling data in Romney's favor. With a strong performance at tomorrow's townhall-style debate in which he connects with average Americans, Todd declared that Romney could "win this election" and "close out" President Obama, putting him in a hole too deep to recover from in the final debate.

Something’s happening here . . . Chuck Todd sees “structural shift” in Romney’s favor and says Romney could put away election with strong performance tomorrow night. Ping to Today show list.

I fully expect Romney to kick Obammie’s skinny butt all over the stage regarding the Benghazi scandal.

On the Today show this morning, Todd mentioned private polling data that indicates the shift. The plot thickens...

Get out and vote, everybody!

It’s his to lose. We’ll see if the GOP wants this election or is handing it on a silver platter to the rats like they did last time.

Good ol’ Washington Post/ABC poll coming along to save the day for the lib media. This poll will be the one touted now for the next day or two.

Apparently, FOX News’ Campaign Insiders w/ Pat Caddell said the race is shifting yesterday. I haven’t watched the video clip yet.

Romney is in Pa..... all you need to know. “Internal polling” pffffttt....Whatever...See the bottom of that screen show..”Obama at 51% approval!”. The MSM, I can’t wait till election night, they will go down kicking and screaming..you wait states like Va with 80% reporting and Romney up 5% they WILL NOT call..you watch. I am a little worried about riots and Occupy Type crap going on.

We are assuming there will be questions on Libya. Since the moderator seems to be the sole arbiter of what questions are asked and when, she will start with “Governor Romney, tell us exactly which tax deductions you will eliminate to balance the budget” and then, “President Obama, how many thousands of jobs have you created since taking over the worst recession in human history?”

The cards are stacked against us. However, I think Romney will do well and Obama will be jumping out of his skin to interrupt and “be aggressive, be, be aggressive!” His teeth aren't as white as Joe's, but his performance might be right up there. Should be fun.

BTW, don't trust Chuck Todd as far as you can throw him. Lefty all the way. Setting up “the One” for a comeback.

This will be a Town Hall debate on foreign and domestic issues. That will open the door for Gov. Romney to make Bengazi an issue.

I fully expect this will dominate the discussions.

Something’s happening here . . .

What it is ain't exactly clear. . .

C'mon, people. This is the setup for the Great Obama Comeback narrative due out on Wednesday. Barry gets mean, the press swoons, and suddenly "The Comeback Kid" rides again. :)

I thought Tuesdays debate was suppose to be the foreign policy debate?

PS what happened to "i" before "e" except after "c"? I do not see a "c" in foreign.

Will the ordinary citizens who stand up to pose their questions at the “town hall” debate have SS agents breathing down their necks?

Or will these “ordinary citizens” turn out to be preselected Obammy shills?

Planted questions? Vetted questions? Surely the MSM will ferret out any inconsistencies and inform us. /s
