Even Ras can't help Mittens today---Obama up by 2 in their tracking poll

which could mean (given its Ras) that Obama is actually up by 5, or maybe Ras will give up on Mittens, too--and begin to poll accurately??

why President Obama was still trailing the Mittster after some of the recent fiascos that have been reported.

Mitt opens mouth and losses three points. His best chance is to set at home, not speak for a month and a half, and cancel his three debates with Obama.

It reminds me of Clayton Williams vs. Ann Richards. Clayton Williams would have won that race if he said nothing. He lost it because of stupid comments he would make.

...from -1 to + 2 in one day, a 3 point change, means last night's polling was quite strong for Obama.
