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.
The ads in the primary were definitely lying, especially in Florida. For example, the false claim that Newt was driven out by the party for being corrupt. Romney doesn’t really have to lie in the ads against Obama, but for some odd reason they’re pretty weak in comparison to what he did to Newt and the rest of the conservatives.
