I see a good ad Romney could run.

Mitt Romney: “I don’t want to buy into the democratic pitch that this is all about one person - Osama Bin Laden. Because after we get him there’s going to be another and another. This is a worldwide Jihadist effort.”

Some good advertisement material...

September 11th 2012 proved that Mitt Romney was right and Obama was wrong.

That link doesn’t help all that much.

What is going to make the difference are the polling numbers from Ohio, Virginia, and Florida...

He’s got a lot of material, let’s hope he starts putting it to good use. He’s right on most issues as compared to Bambi, but if he doesn’t start gaining an edge to his campaign it won’t matter.

It doesn’t matter. Two groups will not care about these results since they are only concern with Romney losing the election. First group wants to earn the right to say, “I told you so!”, and the second group is liberal Democrats.

I’m pretty sure that Laura was pro-Romney during the primaries-—but now she is gloom and doom. Gotta wonder about one of these pundits.

At first I thought the purpose of these polls were to dispirit us, but increasingly I think itis an attempt to buck up the Dem voters. I think they know Zero is is going to lose big.

The other purpose for these slanted polls is to lay the groundwork for Bush v. Gore lawsuits when Obama loses.

Romney has not really fired up the base. Ryan has helped a lot, but IMO Romney needs to throw more red meat out there than he has been. But maybe his internal numbers indicate he is doing fine with his present strategy and I did read that he’s coming out with a series of ads designed to flesh out his economic agenda.

What is firing up the base now is the intense desire to get rid of Obama. A combination of enthusiasm for Romney and anti-Obama sentiment would really give Romney the edge. Romney has a lot of firepower he’s holding back.

It’s obvious that Dem enthusiasm is muted. Obama is begging for money, the huge venues he filled in 2008 are being passed up for more intimate settings. He’s coming across as distant, angry, and petulant this time rather than cool, hip, and positive. His policies all across the board are unraveling and he doesn’t seem in control.
