So, I was out playing golf.

I take it spambot and Rusty spent the day chasing their tails, again?

MrObvious,

"I'm awesome blah blah blah mangled point blah blah blah I'm winning blah blah blah you people (all lubruls) blah blah blah admits libruls live rent free in my head"

------------------------------------------------

Should I ignore this plaintive cry for help or should I throw MrObvious a bone?

Help me out here, people. Is he likely to hurt himself if I don't give him a pat on the head?

"Election 2012 Trial Heat: Obama vs. Romney

Among registered voters'

Mitt 46% -- Bam 46%

Polls of "registered voters" always skew Democrat. That indicates that Mitt is in the lead even after Team Obama's toxic blitzkrieg.

 A tough, tough riff on the Romney campaign from Laura Ingraham on her show today:

I might be the skunk at the picnic but I’m going to say it. I’m

going to say it clear. Romney’s losing. I don’t like to start a Friday

show with this, but I feel like I must. I don’t pretend to have all the

answers, but I know one thing: conservatism wins. When you are debating

the other side on substance, when you are attacking with substance, when

you are laying out a vision with passion, that marries conservative

ideals to the problems of the day, you will win.

[At this point, Ingraham played a recording of Romney saying: “I disagree.”]

When you see this happening in places like Wisconsin, when you see

this happening in places like New Jersey, of course in Virginia, where

we have governors that advocate conservative solutions to economic

problems, they win.

If the election were held today, Mitt Romney would lose. This is

especially vexing when we have survey after survey showing that

two-thirds of Americans think the country is going in the wrong

direction. This is especially disconcerting when you see the numbers

that came out yesterday on the voters’ confidence in America’s future:

an overwhelming majority of Americans think America now is in decline

and that their children’s future will not be as bright as their own.

Forty-two months straight of over 8 percent unemployment.

Each of these statistics on their own, on its own, should indicate a

sizable win for a strong conservative. Mitt Romney cannot at this point

be convincing himself that he’s winning. I hope they’re not. I hope the

Romney campaign actually knows what’s going on with these numbers. And I

hope that the strategy that has been in place, which is basically raise

a lot of money in the summer, but not hit back, but not offer a clear,

substantive, three-point solution to this mess that we’re in —

five-point solution — lay it out for the public. I don’t care if he has

to go back to the PowerPoints that he used in the road shows when he was

at Bain. That’s what he’s really good at.

[At this point, Ingraham played a recording of Romney saying: “What we’re left with is a bit of a muddle.”]http://www.politico.com/blogs/...
