If Romney was down 6-8 in WI then why would Obama be going there?
because 6-8 is close. When you consider that 3.5-4 is the standard MOE, then we’re only talking a few points difference EVEN IF it really is 6-8 in the polls.
6-8 in the polls is the difference a bad weather day could make if it just happened that some supporters were sure of themselves and stayed home due to over-confidence.
