Personally, I think things will revert to the mean a bit. Possible Romney leads by 2 or so then but as the debate effects fade away Obama moves into a virtual tie. That's more or less what happened in 2000 as Gore trailed late but pretty much evened the score the final week (and nearly won Florida). I'm not shocked seeing Ohio move toward Romney because PPP's margin there was likely more accurate. Obama never led there by 8 points period.

The largest air blitz in history against the strongest ground network in history. However, the underdog Democrats will hold against the Koch/Adelson juggernaut, just as little England weathered the Nazi storm.

Straight to the Good Post Gallery - masterfully done mr Snowmentum.

As for my opinion, I think in this case the bad guys win.

There was an extremely late-breaking Bush scandal (he claimed he had never been arrested, but it turned out he had had a DUI in '77); this broke 3 days before the election, and was responsible for a small last-minute Gore surge. However, you can't really count on that sort of thing happening.

It starts really looking like 1980.

I doubt there will be an shocking substance abuse or cocaine allegations against Obama or Romney this time around.  Everything about those 2 is out in the open.
