While optimistic, I’m not sure who to believe anymore. Both sides are going to spin the numbers to their advantage. If this guy didn’t he’d lose his job. I still think Rasmussen is the most honest and accurate, so just keep your eye on that poll over the next 3 weeks. All I see are terrible employment numbers, gas at $4 per gallon, and an opponent that basically goes on record at his convention as hating God. As long as Romney and the GOP are willing to exploit these basic facts, the fundamentals are not there for a permanent Marxist bounce.
We’ll all know by Thursday if Romney is a goner or not. That will be plenty of time for the “bounce” to wear off. If Obama still holds that lead, his advantage has solidified.
Take a cue from Tebow and believe in God if you have the gift. Republicans have the God advantage which Demoncats can only envy.
FUD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear,_uncertainty_and_doubt
Fear, uncertainty and doubt, frequently abbreviated as FUD, is a tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics and propaganda.
FUD is generally a strategic attempt to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information. An individual firm, for example, might use FUD to invite unfavorable opinions and speculation about a competitor's product; to increase the general estimation of switching costs among current customers; or to maintain leverage over a current business partner who could potentially become a rival.
The term originated to describe disinformation tactics in the computer hardware industry but has since been used more broadly. FUD is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
