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.

He wants to win - he’s just programmed to have everything given to him and he’s counting on all his enablers to do his fighting for him; like idiot Andrew Sullivan, just one of barry’s slaves.
Andrew Sullivan has an Eyore moment. Love it!
Let’s none of us get cocky. Let’s hope we have good reason to feel cocky that first Monday in November and let’s STILL not feel that way.
We’ve got to vote like our lives and country depend on it, because they do.
And besides, think how sad the fake, phony, fraud and Palin-uterus-stalker Andrew Sullivan will feel when Obama loses. That ALONE is worth a Romney victory. Him and all the rest of them.

Like running the UN one day?
“nincompoop”
Battle Axe you are right, that is what he is. I often use that word for him myself.
It is basically a polite (and shorter) way to call him a stuttering cluster-f*ck of a miserable failure.
Only nincompoop is really better, because it implies more dunderheadedness.
Bankrupt America and abolish the Constitution. He needs another term to complete that. Our credit rating already dropped under his admin.
How and where does this early voting occur?
could The Obamaphone lady have been driven from the bronx NY to cleveland on one of those buses? (or a van as she claimed)
I think he pulled his tail a few times, also!
Your post sums up what we are dealing with in a nutshell. None of this crap about polls or debates means squat.
Sheer panic and despair
The Secret Service wouldn't be able to hustle him backstage before Michele caught him and ripped him limb from scrawny limb.
This from the Sarah Palin-hating, Trig-hating Andrew Sullivan?? This panic was a fun read but I really look forward to seeing his totally hysterical Obama defeated-column the day after election day!!
Volcano in Hawaii! Just when he thought he was safe!
