Can't imagine that Romney's "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" editorial last year went over too well with my fellow buckeyes!

I said yesterday that Romney has not led in a single Ohio poll (as far as I know), and today's tracking polls show his momentum stalled and reversing, so he probably won't get a lead in Ohio at all.

Democrats have lives and go do things on Friday evenings and nights.

But as long as it's a lead of some kind, that's what's important!

the more I've thought about it, the more understand the why and the how of how Obama damaged himself in the first debate, but I will not discuss those particular thoughts except by PM.

We're very lucky if this thing can still stabilize and be turned. Very lucky and it would be very good.

I really don't think President Obama ever thought Romney could come back. I think he was counting on Romney to put his foot in his mouth (which he didn't). Why the president never brought up the "47%" comment or Romney's flip flopping on his tax cut remarks is beyond me.

Tuesday should be better.

I'm talking about just how badly he damaged himself and how real the damage was.

Fortunately, the opponent is someone who has baggage that isn't just baggage - it's stuff that should make him very unelectable to crucial demographics and certain geographic regions of this country.

My guess is O was +1 Fri. and +7 ("a lot stronger&quot Sat. with a combined lead of +4.

We'll find out soon enough. They should also have information on early voters as well.
