“We’re winning independents...
We’re more enthusiastic....
We’re about equal in numbers...
HOW THE HELL DO THE POLLS SHOW US LOSING? I smell BS. Romney is going to win”
Probably because the Indepedents are former Republicans voting ABO, and I don’t see any evidence that Republicans are actually “more enthusiastic.” An enthusiasm based entirely on electing a faceless candidate to replace Obama is primarily surface level. Approval ratings for both candidates is low, and that has always been true of Romney where he won in the states where voter turnout was below the average. And this he did by purely demolishing his opponents with lying ads and getting media support propping him up. It was never about Romney the candidate, and the sad thing is, it still isn’t about Romney the candidate.
That is why Romney isn’t leading by 10 points even with Obama being one of the most unpopular presidents in our lifetime with a horrible economy. It’s Romney who is the problem because he is not offering a real alternative.
You had me until you said “lying ads”
We all know the enthusiasm is real, the polls bear this out. The lack of excitement for Obama “the first black president” Messiah bears this out.
The debates are going to crystalize what should be a stark choice between the candidates. Assuming that happens the big mo will shift back to the GOP and the socialists will be swept away.
