Rmoney WANTED Obama To Attack Him, But Obama Outsmarted Him

63. and now the Gallup 7 day tracking poll is out, and Romney's

big bump is totally erased.

Obama finished 9/30 with a 50-45 lead in the Gallup 7-day rolling average.

He entered the week before the debate with 50-45, from 10/1-10/3.

Post-debate, they were tied at 47-47 from 10/4-10/6.

By 10/8, the 7-day rolling has them back at 50-45, which means that Sunday's daily tracking poll was a very, very good day for Obama and a piss-poor one for Romney.

The front page analysis of Romney's lies, good jobs news on Thursday and the good deficit news on Friday far outweigh a single weak debate showing.


I didn't see all of the debate because my teevee fritzed out. I saw Obama refute the 1st big lie or 2. He wasn't forceful; he seemed tired to me and grappling with articulating his points. My understanding is he refuted many of the biggest lies, but not all 27+ lies. There simply were too many to give the time to.

To quote Newt Gingrich, in reference to Romney, "You simply can't debate somebody who is being dishonest. You simply can't."

In the meantime, Obama has seen himself on video. Nothing like seeing yourself on video to light a fire under your tail. Apparently his practices alternated between weak and strong. 1st debate we got weak Obama. Now that he's seen weak Obama, I expect he'll know what he needs to do.
