“I’m not trying to be a wet blanket, but damn, I’ve seen this movie before. :(

Please convince me otherwise.”

I agree that there is always going to be a positive spin on FR for our side. What else would one expect on a conservative website. In some instances we wish cast ala 2008 with McCain even though we knew that guy was weak, especially after suspending his campaign. But in other instances we watchdog ala 2004 with memogate. We keep the MSM honest and expose them and the candidate they back to level the field. We accurately filter the MSM to try to get to a real picture of what is going on.

So, which is it this time? I think it is a little bit of both.

In this instance there is an unprecidented media drive to elect Obama. Never before has the MSM been so invested in a candidate an so overtly dishonest. The polls have been proven to be skewed and biased as never before. This is not wish casting but based on scientific analysis. It is also interesting to note that the pollsters who have been judged the most accurate by past performance have this election tied and utilize a solid sampling model to break down D’s, R’s and I’s.

So here is what I want to convince you of otherwise, that we have an incumbent President who has celebrity status and those types are NEVER easy to unseat. Nonetheless, enough of the people seem to have decided that this guy is taking the country in the wrong direction. We all know this guy’s sins and failures. But we also have a candidate that is leaving many people asking, “what would change if Romney were elected and why should I vote for him?” We tend to forecast our understanding of Obama and his failure on the general electorate and why Romney would be an improvement. But Romeny has to make that case and so long as Romney can’t and can’t provide the electorate with a clear picture of Obama’s failures he is toast. Still, despite what the “too little too late” crowd has to say, Romney has time and money.

Oh, and a word about the debates. Romney has already lost each of them because the MSM has already written that story and we will be BOMBARDED with a billion of those stories after the debates are over regardless of his performance. And you know what, there are lurkers and, I hate to say it, other Freepers who will read the MSM stories while not having bothered to actually watch the debates and come on here with their spouts of “Romney is toast, etc. etc. etc.”
