The Debates

Bizarre mixed bag numbers:

Barring any major gaffes during the upcoming debates, and if Romney performs at least as well, I don't see why he wouldn't continue down this path unless Obama decrees by executive order that pot is now legal... then Mitt is hosed.

Do you think there are any diminishing returns problems with expecting a uniform trend line from here until Nov. 6th?

The polls have been very fluid and I admit that to continue uniformly in favor of Mitt is unrealistic. Even with Mitt's gains he's only leading by a percentage point or two at most. That certainly falls within the margin of error.
 
Granted, this is one source but it regarded as one of the more fair an accurate.

My figures came from RealClearPolitics Scat. They use Rasmussen as one of their sources for polling data.
 
Romney is going to crush Obama on Chinese trade and show Michigan why he's the best guy for detroit. At the same time, he gets to explain how Obama bailed out Detroit while turning his back on their union brothers in Delaware, Wisconsin, & Pennsylvania. Picking winners is great if you are one of them. The coal industry in Pennsylvania & Virginias aren't on the winners list.

Mitt gets to offer industry the only thing govt. can that doesn't cost a thing--a little freedom & protection from Chinese parasitism. "My policies will result in billions of new tax dollars for these states. You folks get to decide how to best spend it."
 
I think the debate changed this game more than normal.

Romney won by the largest margin ever recorded in a presidential debate. It dramatically changed the way people see Romney and Obama. If that continues (the current view people have of the candidates) in the next two debates (and the VP debate to a lesser extent) than Romney wins this. If not than Obama wins.

Damn, I liked reading this. Will try to rep.
 
The quote was hypothetical. Sorry if I was misleading.

Been reading Ohio papers today and commenters are going for Obamas jugular over coal. Union leadership saying they won't support the democrat for the first time ever. Members saying they'll pull the Romney lever. Romney needs to promise strict safety controls for miners & propose some new power plant scheme to lock up these states. Another hypothetical line: One thing I learned in business is stronger demand translates into higher labor wages. My opponent seems to think he'll get you a raise by destroying your industry and strapping you medical benefits with his Cadillac tax.

What I want to know is why you do not work for political campaigns as a speech writer/debate guy?
 
I'm guessing because he's only good for the 2-3 hours a day that he's sober.

Seeing as the campaigns exist for "moments", I think a couple hours a day of giving scripted moments will keep them in healthy supply.
 
The S&S Flatery Express! Truth is these campaigns are twenty years ahead of us all. It would be fun to play Karl Rove for a day though.
