I think you will see Obama up 5 by week’s end. But by next week it’ll be back to a tie. No matter what, it all comes down the economy - and it is lousy... and Obama owns it.
This is a bad week for Romney (unfortunately just as he was going ahead after the DNC bounce deflated). Oh. Well.
I can be somewhat pessimistic at times, but I am still confident here.
I do not see this having a lasting impact. It has just been hammered so much, but that will fade.
Even the Swiftboating impact did fade, and this will as well.
Just pray for great debate results, as Obama could easily cement a lead then without a strong performance to convince people to vote out the incumbent.
