Quote
BOSTON—Saying it was time to get back to basics and “start fresh,” top-level sources at Romney 2012 headquarters announced plans to reboot and reenergize the campaign for the 72nd consecutive week Monday. “We’re looking forward to wiping the slate clean, getting back out there among voters, and showing Americans who Mitt really is and how his policies will work for them,” said communications director Gail Gitcho, stating that the campaign had hit the “reset button” and citizens could look forward to getting to know “the real Mitt” over the next several days, a statement she has made every week since May 2011. “It’s important that we pivot back to Gov. Romney’s central message of economic opportunity for all Americans and just let Mitt be Mitt. I think voters will really like what they hear.” At press time, Romney staffers are already prepping for next week’s campaign reboot after remarks the Republican candidate just uttered at a voter rally in Pueblo, CO.

Despite all the noise created by all those media-commissioned skewed polls that appear to have President Obama leading, Mitt Romney is actually winning the presidential race as of today.

...

Polling data and analysis of voting patterns indicates that Romney is going to win most of the key swing states including the five surveyed by Purple Strategies just a few days ago. The last QStarNews analysis and projection of the electoral college covered in this column predicts Romney winning 301 electoral votes, 31 more than needed for election as president.

Reminds me of all of those unbound delegates that were supposed to break towards Ron Paul that actually put him in the lead but never materializing.

Even 301 electoral votes is pretty depressing when you think about it.

Some early voting numbers from Iowa and NC

Quote
The latest numbers are 105,669 Democratic ballot requests, 18,542 Republican ones.
That's 10% of of the total votes cast in 2008. Romney will be down at least 8% before votes are even counted on election night

Sort of bad news in NC
Quote
NORTH CAROLINA reports as of Tuesday morning 66,664 ballot requests with the following party breakdown:

Party Reg   
Dem    27.9%
Rep    51.0%
None/Oth    21.1%
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/25/1136382/-Dems-romp-in-Iowa-early-ballot-requests-lag-in-North-Carolina

But luckily that 66k equals less than 2% of the total votes cast in 2008. We'll see how things play out in the coming days

More broadly, attempts by armed civilians to stop shooting rampages are rare -- and successful ones even rarer. There were two school shootings in the late 1990s, in Mississippi and Pennsylvania, in which bystanders with guns ultimately subdued the teen perpetrators, but in both cases it was after the shooting had subsided. Other cases led to tragic results. In 2005, as a rampage unfolded inside a shopping mall in Tacoma, Washington, a civilian named Brendan McKown confronted the assailant with a licensed handgun he was carrying. The assailant pumped several bullets into McKown and wounded six people before eventually surrendering to police after a hostage standoff. (A comatose McKown eventually recovered after weeks in the hospital.) In Tyler, Texas, that same year, a civilian named Mark Wilson fired his licensed handgun at a man on a rampage at the county courthouse. Wilson--who was a firearms instructor--was shot dead by the body-armored assailant, who wielded an AK-47. (None of these cases were included in our mass shootings data set because fewer than four victims died in each.)

Appeals to heroism on this subject abound. So does misleading information. Gun rights die-hards frequently credit the end of a rampage in 2002 at the Appalachian School of Law in Virginia to armed "students" who intervened--while failing to disclose that those students were also current and former law enforcement officers, and that the killer, according to police investigators, was out of ammo by the time they got to him.

The BEST part, as many people have pointed out, is that if Romney doesn't completely flip the script during the first debate, Karl Rove's gonna leave him twisting in the wind and take all his SuperPAC money to down-ticket Senate and House races. Just in case anyone was under the impression Rove wasn't the most merciless motherfucker in the room.

But the idea of a "cash-flush" Romney suddenly discovering he doesn't have an advertising dime to his name is utterly charming.

For anyone with Netflix streaming, check out the first skit of the last episode of SNL's 21st season, with Norm MacDonald as Bob Dole on Nightline.  We're not at that point yet, but it's starting to feel like we're on that trajectory.


Speaking of Facebook, I wish I had liked Obama last year, when it would have been a really effective troll for both my liberal and conservative FB friends.  Oh well.

I remember some liberals complaining about sample sizes in 2004 but not to this level; even 2008 didn't feature this type of backlash against poll methodology. Basically every poll would have to be wrong for republicans to win this argument, there really is no middle ground here.

Party ID fluctuates but a major constant remains that there are more democrats than republicans. And barring some shenanigans dems will probably have a 5-8 point lead in exit polls this November

To be fair, in 2008 polls showed Obama solidly in the lead, and McCain got more votes.

If you don't count the rampant voter fraud, natch.

Honostly, this unskewed polls site is a slam dunk for internet vouyers like myself who follow elections in part to see deluded partisans crack under the weight of reality.  Instead of witnessing people's hopes crushed ploddingly and individually over an 8 week stretch, it will all happen all at once, like that firework show where every rocket was lit at the same time.

True although Obama's lead began to rise in late September 08, and we're seeing similar movement nationally - just not to the same level. Polling wise Obama is doing better in Florida, NC, and Virginia right now than he was in September 08

Interestingly four years ago (September 26th) Obama was ahead 50-42 in the Gallup daily tracker; today he's ahead 50-44. McCain suspended his campaign on the 24th, and because Gallup uses a week rolling average it wasn't picked up immediately. But once it was picked up Obama was ahead big and McCain never caught him again

Today is the first day the tracker reflects Romney's 47% comment. We'll soon see whether that comment is comparable, statistically, to McCain's meltdown

The 47% thing won't be as bad, just because the financial meltdown wasn't just a big screwup by the McCain campaign, it was a big external event that hurt an already unpopular president and his party.  It was basically a combination of Romney's gaffes and the big external crisis that some Republicans are crossing their fingers for.
