Yeah. Um...we're now up, according to Nate Silver, 80% to 20% probability. Oooh Jeebus that must hurt. First Bill Clinton kicks you right square in the diddlies, now this.
Tee hee!
So when I see Mitt Romney out there continuing to peddle his welfare lies, his medicare lies, even after essentially being eviscerated by Bill Clinton at the convention...it makes me have a happy!
Hell, it even makes me think Mitt will bring up these very lies at the debate, which, after months of debunking, Obama will completely destroy. Romney is in the fetal position, taking easy interviews with his wife, hiding behind her cause then the press might be even LESS inclined to ask tough questions.
Meanwhile, in the real world, running as a generic republican is looking really untenable, as he avoids specific policy questions with mumbling inanities, the good guys have already taken the liberty of defining Mitt for him.
And the hits just keep on coming. As Silver points out:
Gallup’s approval ratings, however, are published over a three-day window, meaning that they will be quicker to respond to shifts in opinion. Mr. Obama’s approval ratings shot up to 52 percent in the version of poll published on Friday, while his disapproval ratings declined to 43 percent. The FiveThirtyEight forecast model does not use approval ratings directly, but this is a sign that there could be more good news for Mr. Obama in the head-to-head portion of the poll in the days ahead
Got that? Obama
still has room for a little more bounce. Lending credibility to the argument that, since Obama has been leading the entire race...things look mighty bleak for Romney.
Oh teh futiliteh!
