I have gotten the feeling that since Romney picked Ryan and did the beautiful political Judo move by going after Medicare by pointing out Obama already raided it for Obamacare....the game was on.

That week told me Romney was not like McCain, he was going to slug it out.

Leading up to the RNC Convention, the Dems seemed to have severe difficulty defending Obamacare’s raid on Medicare. IMHO the only thing that saved the Dems before the Tampa convention was some idiot in the Mid West opening his trap about rape and abortion.

The RNC Convention was very good IMHO - I liked the tone. They were not over the top RED MEAT. The Conservative Base is, if not behind Romney 100%, they are at least against Obama 100%. They were talking to the middle, they were talking to the Reagan Democrats that still lurk out there. They didn’t bash them over the head with “Are you stupid or something? Why did you vote for Obama 4 years ago?”. They instead used a air of disappointment in his performance. Paul Ryan’s line about living in your parents house out of college and out of a job looking at a faded Obama poster. That line hit home.

Tampa showed good diversity, not that the MSM would show it.
But mostly it was one Governor after the other showing America that again and again they tacked high debts, and all without raising taxes.

Romney speech was good - wasn’t great. It didn’t need to be. We know the mistakes from electing a person just because they can read from a teleprompter. The only Romney bio tidbit they left out was him donating his inheritance to charity. The left still portrays him as a person with a silver spoon in his mouth.

Bottom line - all Romney had to do at the RNC Convention was to appear as a viable candidate. That’s it. The best RED MEAT of the whole convention was done my Clint Eastwood. I guess I watch too much AMC with my father. But I saw the Jimmy Stewart bit for what it was for. I saw a interview of Clint about a week before, he was promoting his new film, the guy is a sharp as a tack.

Nobody knew that in a few days #EmptyChairDay would be all over the place.

I think pendulum has moved. The final factor will be the 1st debate, the topic is the Economy. If Romney wins, it will be a Reagan landslide, if he draws even, he still wins. I cant imagine Romney losing a debate on the economy....
