romney could still blow it in the debate, but he's the more likely candidate to win. obama's bounce will be gone within a week to ten days. the economic news will be bad all October and early November.

i don't think he's favored yet by the majority of people who have made final decisions, given that independents don't make up their mind until later in the fall. (altho, gallup and rasmussen have romeny ahead already.)
but, yeah, given the economic numbers romney is about to go ahead. there is still time for him to gaffe himself out of contention and he's capable of that. but unless he mega-gaffes he should win in a tight race.
I assume that the economy will dictate the winner, but inside the WH they must be wondering about their decision to ignore working class whites and go divisive.

i'm having a hard time figuring out the degree to which the pollsters tweak their polls. this says that gallup made a major change to its sample. i'm not into conspiracy theories, but the more i look at all the polls (incl. Ras) the more it seems that they are tweakable.

his support had been hollowing out for years. the debate was like a thin shell cracking. you can blame the debate, but the real damage had been slowly accumulating for years.
Obama was elected under a sense of crisis and his party controlled the Senate and House.
Obama could have made it his top priority to work on the economy and jobs. He could have put the interests of all Americans first. He didn't.
Instead, he chose to use the crisis for partisan ends, to spend the enormous stimulus on things that would have no impact on jobs, to wrest power from the market and our private lives and put that power in the federal government. Obama wanted to be a new Reagan or new FDR. He put himself first.

this is how liberal elites view Obama.
he is their pet mascot. he has been groomed by these people all his life (from Columbia onward), and they fully believe he owes servility to his (white) masters.
true. but it also shows that what they most want from Obama is not a set of policies but rather strokes for being so hip and progressive for electing a black man. Obama isn't giving them what they really want most from him.

obama thinks that tearing down the existing power structures in the US is progress. what he doesn't understand is that he's just tearing down the US. on the ashes of the obama presidency will rise Reagan 2.
