>> I don't think anything is going to drastically change come September. Ten, IMO if we don't see a significant change in the poll #s within the next 3 weeks or so, it is likely to be a photo finish, not a blowout as I've expected. My belief is that most people in the country today know about Romney only what they've been told by the Obama campaign -- which has been a series of outright lies and disgusting misrepresentations. If Romney cannot convey the facts about himself over the next few days then I'm not sure it can be done, and it will have been proven yet again that negative campaigning, even when disgusting, is a successful tactic. If Romney gets a nice bounce out of the convention then Obama's liberal nutjob convention overcomes it, I see no reason people's views would change between now and the election. Possible exception, really bad jobs #s. So, if Romney hasn't surged within three weeks, it is going to be a rough two months.

Anything can happen, but right now Obama is looking like the desperate one. He is? To me......he sounds confident, not desperate......almost too confident. The race shouldn't even be this close, especially with Obama going full blast with the negative campaigning. Eight months ago, R pundits were saying that the R candidate.....esp Romney....would walk away with the election. You know.......no incumbent has won re election with unemployment over 8%. What happened to that projection? I don't think anything is going to drastically change come September. The only thing that will benefit Obama is an economy that suddenly picks up steam before November, and I think the chances of that are pretty small. We'll see.
