I'm afraid that McConnell and Co. took their eye off the ball during the August recess and September conventions.
Republicans have never been good at creating a national coalition around a common theme the way that Democrats have done.
Now is the time that we need it, though, and our Senate leadership is old and tired.

I don't know who you are getting your polling data from, and it really doesn't matter because, this year, all of them are bogus. Repeat. All. Of. Them. Are. Bogus. These numbers are cooked as bad as unemployment numbers. Why you ask? Because they were told to. By guys with keys to jail cells. It's the Chicago Way and that's something that most of us have never seen before, so we are unsure how to react.
I see crowd sizes in Virginia of four and five figures for Romney on a Friday morning for crying out loud. Everywhere. Obama pulls those numbers for weekend rally's in Northern Virginia only. Yet the polls tell us that Obama is tied or winning. I smell a rat. I also remember a similar situation in 1980. I expect a similar result this time.
What could McConnell and Co. have done differently in August?
