People are making excuses, but I’m not buying them. Four years ago on FR, I tried to reassure myself with the excuses over the poll numbers. Not this year. All the polls are showing Obama with a lead.
Granted, he has a convention bounce, but why? Why after the job he has done? I’m a pessimist, and I’m willing to expect the worst, Obama will be reelected.
At this point, we can only hope that the Romney campaign turns up the heat and for Romney and Ryan (shouldn’t be hard for him against Biden) to perform well in the upcoming debates.

Why not?
Romney is nothing more than Obama Lite. Do you see any true conservatism in his platform? That is what many American voters are waiting for but not getting at all.
All they talk about is the economy, economy, economy.... There are other issues beside the economy but they are not mentioned because, as always, the GOP does not dare to bring up social issues for fear that they are branded racist.
He and the GOP have not changed — it is 2008 all over again with the exception that the candidate is younger.
