The Pew poll is devastating, just devastating. Before the debate, Obama had a 51 - 43 lead; now, Romney has a 49 - 45 lead. That's a simply unprecedented reversal for a candidate in October. Before Obama had leads on every policy issue and personal characteristic; now Romney leads in almost all of them. Obama's performance gave Romney a 12 point swing! I repeat: a 12 point swing.
Romney's favorables are above Obama's now. Yes, you read that right. Romney's favorables are higher than Obama's right now. That gender gap that was Obama's firewall? Over in one night:
Currently, women are evenly divided (47% Obama, 47% Romney). Last month, Obama led Romney by 18 points (56% to 38%) among women likely voters.
Seriously: has that kind of swing ever happened this late in a campaign? Has any candidate lost 18 points among women voters in one night ever? And we are told that when Obama left the stage that night, he was feeling good. That's terrifying. On every single issue, Obama has instantly plummeted into near-oblivion. He still has some personal advantages over Romney - even though they are all much diminished. Obama still has an edge on Medicare, scores much higher on relating to ordinary people, is ahead on foreign policy, and on being moderate, consistent and honest (only 14 percent of swing voters believe Romney is honest). But on the core issues of the economy and the deficit, Romney is now kicking the president's ass:
By a 37% to 24% margin, more swing voters say Romney would improve the job situation. Swing voters favor Romney on the deficit by a two-to-one (41% vs. 20%) margin.... Romney has gained ground on several of these measures since earlier in the campaign.

That’s what happens when we catch a glimpse of the man behind the teleprompter.
Sounds like someone is all wee-wee’d up.
How about Eric Holder forcing Al-Franken-style "recounts" in Ohio, Va, Fl, ..... You know what Joe Stalin said.
So “occupy” is nothing but rent a mob.
If they’re busing in a mob for ththey hen the Obamaphone lady mayve been telling the truth when she said she was from the Bronx, ny. But perhaps she’ll be voting in Ohio this year.
The video of her claimed to have been taken in Bedford, Ohio and by looking at it I believe that. I wonder if she and others in the van are being housed somewhere in Bedford? There are plenty of empty houses there...
He is(they are) going to try to scare the hell out of non-whites, (single) women, gays, students,...that if Romney gets elected then all the freebees will “be taken away to pay for ‘more’ tax cuts for the wealthy”, cos only O loves the middle class.
Hell, they didnt even mention the Lilly Bedwetter Act in the first debate, you know they havent started the debate attacks...
If mad dog Biden launches a bunch of attacks at the debate that are the same as they been using in commercials (and on MSNBC) and Ryan cant blow them off as Romney did those tamer ones last week, I am not going to be saying nice things about him. They have plenty of warning to get prepared.
I wonder if the Catholic churches in the less wealthy suburbs of Cleveland could be housing/hiding people from other states who will vote in Cuyahoga County, OH this time.
