Romney’s crowds are building—28,000 in Morrisville, Pa., last night; 30,000 in West Chester, Ohio, Friday It isn’t only a triumph of advance planning: People came, they got through security and waited for hours in the cold. His rallies look like rallies now, not enactments. In some new way he’s caught his stride. He looks happy and grateful. His closing speech has been positive, future-looking, sweetly patriotic. His closing ads are sharp—the one about what’s going on at the rallies is moving.
All the vibrations are right. A person who is helping him who is not a longtime Romneyite told me, yesterday: “I joined because I was anti Obama—I’m a patriot, I’ll join up But now I am pro-Romney.” Why? “I’ve spent time with him and I care about him and admire him. He’s a genuinely good man.” Looking at the crowds on TV, hearing them chant “Three more days” and “Two more days”—it feels like a lot of Republicans have gone from anti-Obama to pro-Romney.
Something old is roaring back. One of the Romney campaign’s surrogates, who appeared at a rally with him the other night, spoke of the intensity and joy of the crowd “I worked the rope line, people wouldn’t let go of my hand.” It startled him. A former political figure who’s been in Ohio told me this morning something is moving with evangelicals, other church-going Protestants and religious Catholics. He said what’s happening with them is quiet, unreported and spreading: They really want Romney now, they’ll go out and vote, the election has taken on a new importance to them.
There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not. Independents are breaking for Romney.

Anyone who was duped by the ONE has permanently impaired judgement and not worth listening to. EVER AGAIN.
Not much of a fan of Noonie! She was a big backer of McCain for pres.
Ohioan, in concert with your advice, I am skeptical.
Don’t forget HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN and EVERYTHING’S COMING UP ROSES!
That's probably true.
But just in passing, has anybody else ever thought how Obama has debased the White House, the US presidency and anything else he has touched in just four years? When you said "classy," I thought, gee, that means no more grille-wearing "rap artists" with their towers of $800 a bottle champagne, no more foul-mouthed aging celebrities with the president's name tattooed on their backs, no more creepy Muslims visiting their would-be imam...
I think it's going to take Romney a while to get class back into that building.
In the case of ignored Staten Island victims ---they should have pretended to be marathon runners and would have received water, clothes and heated tents.
IMO
Clinton was our Manchurian Candidate.
Obama is our Islamic Candidate.
Both were essentially sleepers. They have done a lot of damage to our nation for personal gain or simply misguided ideals. Then, sadly, we have our own fair haired people who really don’t know what’s going on too.
Twenty years of that will put a dent in your sound sovereign nation.
I don’t disagree with your premise. It’s a sad situation.
Saying thanks for what the President has to do, is good enough. You don’t have to fawn all over the guy. It WAS over the top.
Wormy little prick, isn’t he?
Both of them have common sense and that alone is enough for them to see the emptiness of Obama.
They are regular Americans and they see the anti-Americanism of Obama.
BTW, neither of them drink.
Yes he is. I’ve been watching him over the last week or so, and frankly, the wheels are coming off his political chariot, and he is well aware of it.
Since after the last debate, he’s had nervous twitches, has a disrupted socialization skill set, and displays an inordinate need to get positive psychological reinforcement from the people around him.
Watch how he’s turned into a clinger when it comes to hand-shakes, hugs, and personal greetings.
If you’ve seen and studied that video where he tells the Russian guy to tell Putin he’ll have more leeway after the election, his body language is... frankly... scarey.
He says that to the guy. He gets a small recognition for it. And then Obama sits there making faces, like he’s just done the most cool thing ever, and can’t believe the guy didn’t fall all over him with gratitude.
He looked like a child. The part that is important isn’t what he said, although that was bad, it’s chilling to watch the ten seconds afterward, realizing he was completely lost in that social setting. He was adrift in a sea of his own perceived inadequacy. He even made gestures with his face and arm that looked like he was ready to jump out of his own skin.
Romney will fumigate and move in. And America will have its WH again.
Hear, Hear.
As Sun Tzu says (I paraphrase)...”know thy enemy!”
True, but the measurable span between brain synapses is the difference between “enemy” and “airhead”. :)
But sometimes the enemy is backed up by airheads.
Be ready, my friend...and stay thirsty.;-)
“Happy Days are Here Again”!!! (by?)
Sigh.
It’s that the Governor (of any state) has to be a mensch which entails going for the freater good. He’s an R
Woodford Reserve at the ready.
freater what!?
Oh, Greater the greater good
