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.

Sigh.
It was a joke not practical advice.
I guess Andrew is not so impressed with the crease on Romney’s pant’s leg.
Agreed but I meant ambition after he is unseated as our ruler.
And He has more than 181 mil.
Simple. The guy that Obama told people he was running against never existed and people found this out. They also found that Obama is nothing but a talking points machine for his media stenographers.
If he was smart (lol!), he’d let this election go to Romney, and take a top job in the UN, where he can have a great deal more power control among more nations, especially when those nations are signing such UN policies like Agenda 21 and the Anti-Gun treaty.
This of course, goes with the caveat that once Romney steps in, he dissolves our participation in the UN and evicts them from their NY site. After which, he can work to strengthen ties with NATO and Eastern European allies and Israel.
LOL, although I’d hate to be the butt of one of your jokes.
It’s gross
Amen. I've been praying since he won in '08 that he would be exposed and haven't stopped. Even out of office I want more of obama exposed - the evil POS!
Well, they can always fall back on little John Edwards and Rielle Hunter as First Lady at his side; after all, they wanted him badly not all that long ago . . .
sounds like andy needs to call chrissie matthews so they can have a big hug and a good cry together.
I agree. But this time they are reminded when they fill up their car, home heating oil, go food shopping even if they have a job. I'm sure everyone knows of someone either underemployed or unemployed. The only catch is voter fraud!
The photo that Drudge is using right now to illustrate the article has Obama’s head literally in the clouds.
OH! Well, that will be golf and basketball - like you said. Maybe have Ayers write another book for him/lazy @ss!
Yuck, I didn’t realize till I was almost done I was reading Andrew Sullivan.
