You guys should've drafted our erstwhile JJ with DJ as his VP(asassination prevention) at the convention.

Back up to 4%, amazingly the Washington Times/JZ analitics has it at 9%. Wanna bet that number completely reverses itself along with Faux after the debate? Who's gaming the polls? The Repugnant Party...

And yet he has such faith in the current plans, or lack thereof, of the presiding office holder. Sadly, there is a significant number pf people that actually believe that either choice is detrimental to the United States. Obama has failed to meet his own standards that he promoted in 2008. Standards that he set for himself. He was either direlict in his evaluation of the problems then or his inability to gain consensus demonstrates a clear lack of leadership skills. I'm not buying into the hostile republican meme because a President has many levers to play. The comical, and now certainly abject political, response to the Libyan incident represents the Obama Administration's problem solving tact.

But the Moonie Times/JZA also has 9% undecided/other.

Who is this "he" person you speak of?

Where are you getting your information and what do you consider a significant number? The polls, by and large, reflect a relatively small number of undecided/other voters at this point.

Obama has failed to meet his own standards that he promoted in 2008. Standards that he set for himself. He was either direlict in his evaluation of the problems then or his inability to gain consensus demonstrates a clear lack of leadership skills. I'm not buying into the hostile republican meme because a President has many levers to play.

It does happen to be the truth, however. He was faced with a degree of obstruction unseen since the Southern Democrats lined up against Lincoln in the days before the Civil War. Although we're not at war (yet), I regard the behavior of the Republicans, especially the TP Caucus as tantamount to treason. Given those circumstances, President Obama's achievements are pretty remarkable.

The comical, and now certainly abject political, response to the Libyan incident represents the Obama Administration's problem solving tact.

Most people aren't buying that "meme", BH. The R$R campaign and the truant Republican Congress can't seem to get any traction with this.

Yet another state has rejected the GOP voter registration rig.....well, kinda.

They can still ask for ID, but cannot deny the citizen the ability to vote.

Good stuff.

It has definitely tightened up. The fact that it has only goes to show what one debate can do. Really, it shows what the reporting about one debate can do. "Really? Romney won? I guess I'll vote for him then." Freakin' idjits! I guess if you lie with more assurance and aggressivity (and impunity, thanks to Lehrer) than your opponent tells the truth that makes you a winner.

"I think it's the most blatantly dishonest performance by a presidential candidate I've ever seen," [X] said in a telephone interview. At several moments during the debate, [X] simply leaned away from his lectern and looked down at his feet because he was so stunned by some of Romney's statements, he said. He didn't engage Romney at the time, he said, because "I wanted to fact check. I wanted to make sure he was as totally dishonest as I thought he was."

Who said that? Obama?

Nope! It was Gingrich after the primary debate in Jacksonville, FL.

Do you want a goddam liar in the WH? I sure as hell don't.

And that Pew poll is weird. For one thing, it's a very small sample, compared to some other Pew polls, about half the size of some others. Past Pew polls with small samples have shown Romney closer than those with larger samples.
