"I think we do see a swelling tide of panic this week in wild accusations and desperate fear-mongering."

Well, from what I see from Rassmussen Reports, the GOP ought to be in panic-mode too. The candidates are more or less neck and neck in this race, Romney only very slightly leading.

The nightmare of another four years of Obama can't be dismissed just yet - jmho.

To be clear, in order to dismiss it I'd have to exclude that ugly scenario. I have not. It's dicey.

when you’re going to rig an election... public expectations must be for a close race, especially if you’re rigging for an extremely bad candidate

[Jim from C-Town]

I disagree! The race is more and more out of Obama’s reach every day. The gaffes and panic is palpable on the Left.

They have in Romney a Man that has not one personal Blemish. His wife, kids and himself have a stellar record of being decent people. He has no scandals of a personal nature. His PERSONAL morality is only over shadowed by his VP’s Personal morality. What Romney lacks in public sector integrity; IE Not So Conservative, his pick of Ryan shows he is going boldly conservative.

Obama hasn't polled above 50% in months and months and the economy is worsening.

Since May Romney has been outspent by Obama 3 to one with Obama spending more than $300. mil VS less than Romney on adds.

Meanwhile, MANY, MANY States that Obama carried in 08 are lost to him now. If the election where held today Romeny would win. By Nov he may win in a landslide.

ALSO::::: ALL the NEW Voter ID laws have been upheld. PA’ was JUST upheld and that brings the margin of Fraud to a much lower level.

Lots of people are afraid of telling pollsters the truth. So many of those ‘pollsters’ are from the party -doing push/pull type polling - and they’re gonna ‘get you’ if you’re a dem and you answer wrong. Gotta love the party of intimidation. My guess is a lot more people will vote Republican than will say they vote Republican.

[grey_whiskers]

And yet -- and yet -- most of the polls overweight Democrats between +5% and +13%.

And Obaama has spent $100 million trashing Romney, while Romney hasn't begun with the ads.

And still Romney is slightly in the lead.

With an economy in the crapper, no foreign policy except surrender, the Middle East and the Euro about to melt down, which always inspires the people's willingness to trust an Affirmative Action Marxist placeholder over real Americans who sure as hell "*did* build that."

Sell your bedwetting somewhere else.

Cheers!
