Nine things we learned from CNN's latest poll

[calimary]

14. Kick!

What's nicest is that this low-level murmur of a drumbeat is starting around the romney campaign - that they're in trouble. That's REALLY nice! If that sinks in, that will discourage THEIR voters, NOT OURS! If they think it's a foregone conclusion that Obama may have this locked up despite their best efforts, especially with early voting starting soon, some of them will shrug and decide to sit this one out. Which will make the polls a self-fulfilling prophesy. Which will also hurt them down-ticket at a time when OUR side needs to make gains!

That said, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT get complacent!!!

Remember what Mad-Eye Moody always told Harry Potter: "CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!!!"

We do NOT have this won yet, and the koch/adelson/rove carpet-bombing hasn't begun yet. They're still gonna try to buy this election if they still think they have a chance. But at some point I imagine the big-bucks guys may have second thoughts if they think it's becoming clear that they're flushing a coupla billion dollars down the crapper. These guys LOVE their money. They worship and adore it. It's their top priority and their identity and their macho and their Alpha-status and their power and, among the men, their money automatically confers upon them some complementary dick size. And they DO NOT like flushing it down the crapper. OR betting bigtime on a loser.

After all, how would it look?
