Good article. I really thought Romney did a much better job on this debate but this is looking like one of smallest jumps by a challenger in 20 years but we will see where it ends up in the morning. You have to get back to Clintons first debate with Bush or Dukakis and his numbers after the first debate to find anything comparable. Right now Romney is at the lowest point of any major candidate in the last 30 years, his favorably ratings are just dismal but he did a great job tonight, should be interesting to watch but I dont hold much hope here of him winning but we will see. Even Dukakis, Kerry/Edwards, Dole, Carter in the 1980 campaign, and Mondale were showing better numbers at this point. This country needs a third party. Originally Posted by neverstoppers23

Obama is still going to win.
Romney pretty much needs to sweep the swing states, especially Ohio, and right now he is projected to lose most of them.
The nation may be split soon in terms of popular vote but the electoral math strongly favors Obama either way.
He'd have to fall apart in the majority of the swing states just for Romney to have a chance.
Obama is too strong/Romney is too weak in the deciding states-nothing else matters.

You might want to take a look at Romney's policies - if you could even call them that - and see what he has to say. Originally Posted by jjgold

Next time you run. You'd do a better job than either of these dickmunches. I'll be your campaign mgr and we'll finance it all through betpoints.Points Awarded:

Exactly Shari. Even though people think Mitt won last night, I didn't hear any specific policies from him.
He wants to hold meetings about policies, he wants to add to unemployment by cutting govt jobs, he
agreed to Obama care, but wants his name on it. If you listen closely, he said the same things as 'bama.
Continuing Reagans and Bush's policies didn't work. 'bama and Clinton's policies are working. Get the
children (Repubs) to play along and watch this country take off. I know I'm not voting for brats.

You can look at the numbers at Betfair if you want another prediction market, Intrade is still one of the better indicators as far as prediction markets go. Markets are not always great indicators and they can be manipulated but I really havent seen any models that have given Romney much of a chance either. I would put more weight behind the markets as an indicator on this election than I would on most of the models I have seen but I dont think anyone has Romney with much of a chance. You never know what can happen with the economy or world events though, thats why you watch markets. Originally Posted by jjgold

I watched the whole thing like many of you I'm sure. Only thing I really noticed about Mitt was how freakin Neurotic he is.
In any case he did ok, but nothing like the hype. Said Obama didn't look him in eye...shhht my man was cool calm and collective and def took the higher road. Unfortunatley, Politics is like a school yard fight where the members on the sidelines or around the circle want to push the contender/fighter back in and say....go get em boy ..get back in there. That is what the next 2 shall be like ... a little nastier.
In the end the numbers are stacked against ole Mitt and I think the O is calculating where it counts (In this country Electoral Votes are all that matters)
What do I know but I can't see Mitt doing much better then McCain and that was a slam dunk for the O.
so go ahead... take Romney +295 or +315. I thought about taking the Red Sox last night and stepped back and looked at what was at stake,etc,etc. Glad I took Yankees at -295

did you just wake up from a coma? obviously she wasn't referring to what Mitt flip flopped on last night, but what he has been campaigning on for the last 18 months & what mitt's buddies in the U.S. house of representatives have passed & around states with gop majority legislators.

Doesn't mean much until 48 hours or so before the election. Jimmy Carter led Reagan by an average of 10% across polling in early September before eventually losing a landslide. Intrade would have had him a sure winner a month before the election as well. Originally Posted by stevenash

What happens a lot at Intrade is a lot of scalping, buy low, sell high, you guys know the routine.
It was mind boggling how accurate Intrade was with last season's American Idol trading.
Flat out nailed 11 of the last 12 weeks there.

Plummeting. Romney at 30.8% today on intrade, +335 on pinnacle. Stock market up and a good jobs report today.
If Romney comes back to win this , it will be the greatest come behind win in recent memory. As far as polling goes, Romney has the lowest numbers of any candidate after the first debate in the last 30 years. Looking at the losers of the past elections Kerry was at around 46% after the first debate, Gore was around 42.9%, Dukakis at 43%, Mondale 39.6%, Dole at 35.8%, even an extremely unpopular Bush the Elder during his second term was at 32% after the first debate.
These numbers are dismal, it looks like it is like definitely going to take something major like really poor economic news or world crisis or a major gaffe from the Obama camp for Romney to win this, but we will see.Last edited by gregm; 10-05-12 at 11:18 AM.

Should be fun with 3 debates to go (including the VP one). Be very entertaining if the gloves came off (which they need to, at this point) and Biden/Ryan mixed it up. In fact, I'm hoping they go at it. A liar versus a knucklehead should provide for a hilarious outcome.

I thought Herbert Walker said that vs the Duke the election prior (which is why he didn't get re-elected, as memory serves me). I don't recall HW ever really having any noteworthy lead vs Clinton. I do remember Perot killing both of them, though - prior to dropping out of the race due to some political attack (and then re-entering the race and then not doing so hot in the election).

Ohio shocker: GOP closes early voting gap, boosting Romney
http://washingtonexaminer.com/ohio-s...rticle/2509838
In a remarkable reversal of fortune for President Obama in Ohio, the GOP has closed the huge gap in absentee ballot requests used by early voters that favored the Democrats and the president in 2008, setting up what one state analyst said could be a Mitt Romney blowout on Election Day.
While in 2008, 33 percent of the 1,158,301 absentee ballots went to Democrats and just 19 percent to registered Republicans, a 14-point gap, this year 29 percent are being requested by Democrats and 24 percent by Republicans, a five-point gap.Last edited by ByeShea; 10-05-12 at 12:03 PM.
