Sugar High

[Fast Gunn]

The latest polls reported today (9-11-12) on NPR indicate that President Obama is ahead of Romney by 6 points in the coming election.

Romney of course dismisses the polls (but only, when they're not in his favor) and calls them merely a sugar high following the convention.

. . . Do you think Romney really has something to worry about?

After the first debate we will know if Romney has to worry. Until then this is just noise.

I believe the poll numbers will eventually drop to a much closer margin than we have now. With that said, I am enjoying Joe the Bloehard and Whirly's silence. They have been hanging on every Rasmussen poll they could find for the past few weeks and now we hardly hear a peep from them! I think it is funny as hell!

I stated on these pages a few months ago and I still say today that the only poll that matters is what happens on election day. All of the other polls are just window dressing!

The coming debates will certainly highlight the differences between President Obama and Romney.

But why do some of you think the margin will narrow?

. . . I think the margin will widen!

I hope you're correct and the margin will widen. Historically, one party or both receives a bump immediately after their convention. Following that things normally level out. I believe that will be the case here but I do acknowledge that the Romney camp has serious problems that they must contend with. The bottom line, Romney seems to have just as many from his party who are voting against Obama, not for Romney. There is definately an enthusiasm gap with Romney!

After being outspent month after month, Mr. Obama was glad to finally break that log jam and raised a few million dollars more than the Romney camp managed to bring in. ($111M - $103M+/-) I believe it was.

. . . The Democrats are on a roll!

The most recent WashPo-ABC News poll shows a vitual statistical dead heat among likely voters. I've heard polsters from both camps claim that likely voters are the best predictor.

It looks like it's going to be the debates that ultimately galvanize voters positions unless something completely unexpected happens. Polling after the debates should give a clearer picture. Of course,
the only poll that really matters will be taken Nov. 6th.

Do not discount the incredible ability each candidate has to do something completely stupid and ruin their chances. It will be like watching an episode of "Last Crook Standing."

True dat! Once again it will come down to the lesser of two weevils.
