Reason #1 – The economy is getting slightly better, and favors Obama...
No it is not. The current oil and manufacturing numbers suggest the US is all ready headed back into a recession.
NONE of the numbers show the economy getting better.
Reason #2 – The polling numbers are starting to favor Obama too much..
Rassmussen, the most accurate pollster in 2008, shows Romney ahead. Polling only favors Obama if you assume significantly more Democrats are going to show up in 2012 then did in 2008
Reason #3 – Romney has lost his significant money advantage...
No he has not. Romney has a $57 million cash on hand advantage. Obama managed to make up $3 million in Aug reducing Romney cash on hand advantage from $60 million to $57 million
Reason #4 – Romney is running out of options...
No he is not. Romney is in the driver seat. That Obama can not crack 50% in any serious poll indicates Obama is running out of options. Undecided on election day break to the challenger. ANY incumbent running neck and neck on election day is in trouble.
Reason #5 - The lack of a “gamechanger”
See 4. Romney does not need a game changer Obama does. He is the one who is polling significantly worse then where an incumbent should be.
The absurd thing about this article is everything they say is standing truth about this elections on it's head. If Obama were a Republican incumbent President this same article would be written about Obama by this same author.
Obama may have outraised Romney by 3 million in Aug but Romney has way more cash on than that from other months of fundraising
