I think Rubin is right about some of this stuff, though I think it’s funny that I’m reading this a few hours after seeing John Bolton on TV talking about Obama’s failed Middle east policy... That said, one thing you may want to consider is that a person who thought six years ago that Romney was the only electable guy out there...
1. Would expect Romney to be up by 10 because he’s so dreamy, and therefore be looking for problems and possibly magnifying them out of proportion.
2. Doesn’t have much sense in the first place.
Romney is not up by three in Rasmussen because he’s losing. He’s not seeing tight races in swing states because he’s got it wrapped up. Panic is unwarranted, so is overconfidence.
To close, and I may just make this my standard post in these threads to save time:
Carter up 5.
Dukakis up 17.
McCain up 5.
“Panic is unwarranted, so is overconfidence.”
Truest words I have ever read on Free Republic on any topic, on any day, in any thread ever.
