It's a little scary,

[mary195149]

to know that Romney got a bounce out of the debate and is only a couple of points down from Obama now. I know, there are 3 more debates left, but it becomes easier for the Repubs to pull some of their tricks at the end as the gap closes. I don't trust them. They have worked way too hard to not pull every trick they own at the end. They have set this up from the day Obama became president from obstructing and not working with him and turning around and lying that Obama is the one who does not compromise. They have done everything they can to destroy Obama and have absolutely no respect for him. We also have to worry about the Citizens United Money just flooding the uninformed with so many lies.
These so called Repubs are dangerous. They don't want to just win and run the country, they want to take our country over and take our democracy.

1. I would expect to see a small boost in Obama's poll margin...

...at the point next week when last Friday's poll numbers fall out of the trackers, if all else stays the same until then.

2. You forgot the voter suppression conspiracy.

Also scary, as well as how brazenly they're doing it.

3. It's a little scary to see this bullshit meme repeated so often here. Check the Gallup polls.

The right-leaning Gallup polls.

They will assuage that deep concern you--and a very small cadre of others-- seem to have.

4. Obama's team needs to hit back hard on the Foreign Policy lies today

Now that Romney has finished giving his filthy foreign affairs speech.

No more Mr. Nice guy from Obama & Co.

5. Is Obama adequately preparing for next debates?

I don't expect Team Obama to tell us everything they are doing to prepare for the debates, but for weeks before the first debates, the media reported that Romney was clearing his schedule for debate prep and bringing in heavyhitters to assist him. After Wednesday night's disaster, I am looking for signs that Obama has made debating this number one priority and brought in people who really Alpha Debaters (sorry, Kerry you are not one). Is Bill Clinton helping Obama? Who is actually helping him and are they spending enough time in preparation? I am sort of shocked that Democrats aren't clamoring and demanding evidence that Obama is not going to make the same costly mistake twice.
