Variation on your theme: Polling designed to show Romney leading until the Democrat convention, then EVERY POLL in the country will miraculously put Obama ahead to stay. Momentum and all that..
As for the press, they will certainly do exactly as you say. They will deliver their drooling maniacal support on queue at the proper time. But by “turning” on Obama now, they can later peddle the lie that they are “objective.”
Also, by turning on barry now they can connect with the morons who can not help but notice that Obama is flushing this country down the toilet. If they only parrot Obama’s outrageous lies about the economy, there is a chance that even their lonely two little brain cells will recognize the monstrous disconnect between the White House message and reality. It keeps the idiots ready to believe the upcoming whoppers.
Barry will have an astonishing “come back” in the polls scheduled for September. Count on it.
