Obama has been creeping up in almost every poll for about the last 10 days or so. Yes the weekends, good weather & holidays ALWAYS work against the republican when polling, but this Obama trend has been there before the Roberts ruling & the summer holidays.

Part of this issue is demographics. Obama owns the black & hispanic vote. And, believe it or not, the asian vote. These 3 groups now make up about 37% of the U.S. population. It’s a different elction map for the GOP in 2012. I still think Romney can/will win this election, but it’s not going to be easy.

The word TAX needs to be in every Republican commercial right after the words IRS. That will do a lot!

Agreed. The election will hinge on women and I fear that unless a woman is Conservative, she will opt for the guy closer to allow baby-killing. Plus, Obama’s uniqueness makes people feel good about themselves. Just wait until this generation ages: we will have a gay President, after we elect a liberal woman or maybe an abomination such as Deval Patrick. Many people voting today never heard of some of the great ex-Presidents; their knowledge goes back to Bill Clinton a many who truly destroyed our society.

Very astute observations.
And in the decades to come, it’s not going to get any easier.

Part of the issue? It is the issue. All politics are now racial.
