Yeah, it's Pravda on the Hudson and all, and Nate is an avowed and open lefty, but this represents overall a pretty fair and thoughtful analysis.

Why is not Obama losing by 80%?

Because Mr. RomneyCARE represents ... RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
and because he won’t attack the DNC.

The intensity of the bile in the propaganda has been increased. Credibility is completely gone. Nate missed his calling as a stand-up comic.

Silver does a fair analysis.

Plus we know how accurate the Obamedia polls have been the last few elections. They never pick up the Tea Party influence.

Pray for America

Most of the polls giving Obama a large lead are of registered voters.

Rasmussen has consistently shown Romney up by several points for a month or two. Gallup has consistently shown a tight race.

Network pundits, citing their polls, claim that Obama’s negative ads are working. But this hasn’t been reflected yet in Rasmussen or Gallup.

The last Fox poll showed a significant shift of independents away from Romney, but if they changed their minds once, they can change them again.

I think Romney is okay with where he is now or else he would be much more aggressive in his demeanor and ads. No need to waste the heavy artillery when no one is paying attention yet.

Romney will get a bounce with his VP announcement and also with the convention. Then he’ll begin the onslaught and I think it will be relentless.

I recall that the polls showed John Kerry ahead of Bush. The pollsters were even claiming the exit polls showed Kerry ahead.

I recall that Sharon Angle was also showing ahead of the polls in her race against Harry Reid.

I tend to take polls with a grain of salt.

Having said that, I do realize that an awful lot of the American people don't have the intelligence and discernment that God gave a rock.

True as I see it. Romney had better get mean and tough real quick. If he doesn't start operating back alley dirty we are screwed. The “moral high ground” won't win any fights against Socialists and other assorted vermin.

Number one, folks, do not pay any attention to polls, the Obamabot media is feeding you bogus information. The “real” campaign has yet to begin. The fact that Obama and his minions are resorting to the most negative and untrue political ads is proof they are in free fall and resorting to desparation tactics. Also, the demographics of recent primaries reveal a miserable Democrat turnout measured against a stunning Pubbie turnout.

My fear, however is that Romney is pulling a McCain campaign, whimp at best!!! I hope I will be proved dead wrong.

Shucks, I would have already named the VP candidate and had major attacks using the core issues on Obama & company, over and over again. See....folks I hail from NYC and am used to street fighting. Obama is a pure America hater, as is most of the Democrat Party. This election, IMHO, is it for America.

We either throw out Obama, or....we throw away our nation!!! That’s the whole story. And for me....Romney does not know how to street fight with these America destroyers, effectively. God knows, I am hoping I am dead wrong in my analysis!!!

I think there is no doubt that the Obama / DNC attacks have hurt Romney. He has compounded it by not being on the airwaves combating them.

Has Obama struck a fatal blow? Probably not yet, but Romney is behind and has ground to make up.

If he continues to play it safe, he will continue to fall further behind and Obama and a number of FReepers will be ecstatic.

The truth is, ALL the pollsters and ALL the media looks forward to the presidential elections the same way the Mafia looks forward to the football season.

The Mafia doesn’t want gamblers to ever beat the spread so they juice the numbers to narrow the spread.

ALL pollsters and the media do the same thing, neither one wants a presidential race to appear to be one sided so they juice the numbers to tighten it up.

When the ‘game’ is in the last quarter, the pollsters stop juicing the numbers just to stay relevant for the ‘next season’.

All the media has to do is feign shock, stunned and surprised at the outcome. Then they bring out all their ‘experts’ to explain it all away to cover their asses.

Ret.
