Nate Silver is the only guy that matters when it comes to polling. And Nate has it at 61% in favor of Obama, which is a huge drop from just over a month ago when it was well over 75%. His piss poor performance in the debates gave a whole lot of people an excuse to vote against their own interests. fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/author/nate-silver/ |

yup, i agree he's the best analyst. still 61% (which is right i line with the prediction markets) isn't losing, it's just closer than comfortable. But....two debates to go. If O can hold his own in both he should be ok.

I think he will. I just hate seeing him fall back into "First two years" Obama where he thought getting along was the way to get along.

I suspect the next debate will be a whole lot different. Romney and Ryan both seemed like Lexus salesmen to me. Full of hair gel, closing attempts, and absolutely no useful information.

LOL! As widespread as the trope of the used car salesman and trust is...what do most people do? Trust them. <forehead slap>

I'm not watching them in any case. They should be called "Talking points for retards" instead of "debates."

I was truly amazed at how Ryan could parrot a whole lot of demonstrably untrue crap, all the while looking sincerely into the camera. He reminded me of a loan officer who told me stuff that was flat not true, and I knew it wasn't true because I had actually read the loan documents. Unfortunately, Martha Radditz (spelling?) was only able to call those guys on things every so often. Biden did a decent job of calling Ryan out, although the talking points twits won't be swayed.

Jerome describes these 'debates' perfectly. I won't tune in for any of them. Well, I take that back, I might tune in for the next Presidential one just to see if O'bama comes out swinging like a good Irishman.
