Great post—but don’t buy that Romney is lagging in the polls. Those polls wat overpolls Democrafs, esp this new crapola Fox poll. The most accurate poll from 2008 according to a study by the political science dept at Fordham Unkversity shows Romney leading by 4 points over the last 2 days. Fox’s polll was #10 in accuracy. They and most of the others take no care in netting a political demographic that either reflects the nation’s actual party registration percentages or a turn out model based on ye most recent election or at least the likelyhood or level of energy of each party’s voters. Rasmussen is the only one who does, thus their great track record in not just 2008 but in the last 5 election cycles. Toss the other polls. They’re wishful thinking reflecting the biases of the liberals running them.

The only Fox polls I’ve seen are done online and the “responders” are free to declare themselves as D/R/I and vote any way they wish. They are garbage.
I agree with you that Rasmussen is, and has been for years, the most accurate poll because they don’t overweight Dems and they only poll likely voters.
