Are we breaking out the party hats & writing GOP eulogies a tad early? [View all]

I could have sworn next month starts with an "O" not an "N".

No doubt, the Romney tape will embolden both parties, but with 50 days left, there is still time for events to change the game. The tape at worse case for us cost Romney a badly need week, but something will move it off the screens soon enough. In reality, Romney finally said what his hard line supporters wanted to hear and what he really felt - that will have an impact on both sides. It may however not net one vote and hearing Romney say what we knew he felt may only have potential impact to a small slice of the vote not already firmly dug in no matter what.

Would we be best to assume nothing changed and work on turnout of the base which this election may hinge on for us?
