-Romney looked foolish at the debate.
-The jobs numbers are looking better than they have since 2008.
-Romney has NO natural constituency beyond the top 1%.
-Republicans still hate Romney (even if they're not able to remember 3 months ago when they professed to hate him).
-Romney has no plan significantly different than the plans of the failed president GW Bush.

So what does account for this sudden rise in Romney's numbers? Oh yeah, Chuck Todd and Politico, among others.
