It does not speak well of Romney's campaign that at this stage he has most campaign offices in the swing state he is probably least likely to win.

[Lief 🗽]

The pathetic thing is that Romney/the RNC are still probably better organized than the McCain campaign was.

The second pathetic thing is that Romney is being blown away even in states where he's already had to run a competitive primary election!

Don't worry, Romney just needs to say in the debates that the President hasn't done anything and he will win.

It's not like Obama will be there to give a response or anything.

Field offices exhibit diminishing returns. Furthermore, for the month of September Romney has spent about as much time prepping for the debates as he has been campaigning. He has also been outspent in advertising. Despite all of this, he is statistically tied with Obama according to Gallup. Unless Obama overwhelms Romney in the debates, we're going to see this sucker swing heavily in Romney's direction in October/November.

It's not about where you are, but about where you are headed. September is not November.

1. And advertising isn't subject to diminishing returns?
2. So he wins automatically...right?
3. What if you count their allies?
4. Way to cherry pick your data!
5. Also, that's not what "statistical" tie means.
6. General election debates matter a whole lot less than people (want to) think.
7. September is very predictive of November.

Romney is down in all swing states.  Romney's ties in national popular vote are likely due to the fact that Obama is going to lose bigger in Republican states as the partisan divide worsens.

The only sucker I see here swinging wildly is you.

In 1980, Gallup was the most friendly Carter polster around, but the aggregate of national polls showed a steady Reagan lead and a Reagan surge at the end. Not any one pollster is perfect; it is the aggregate polling which is nearly always accurate.

Continue to hold onto your "GALLUP IS GOLD EVERYTHING ELSE SUCKS" fantasy, it will make your tears in November much more plentiful.

It's funny  because this "Gallup" narrative of his only very recently come about and solely because it was the only poll showing a vaguely pro-Romney result. I mean literally anyone into politics know it's about an overall trend and one individual poll is in and of itself meaningless.

LOL at how Romney leads in Michigan, the swing state that isn't really a swing state.

Romney would probably like to pretend that Michigan is his home state.
