This weekend "undecided" voters will start to break for

Obama because most "undecided" voters at this point are just waiting to see who will win so they can vote for the winner. This weekend the post Sandy polls will come out and show a up tick for Obama & his locking up the swing states. Manny pundits will want to be seen as calling the winner I bet even George Will will call it for Obama. Chris Christie has already given cover to go with Obama. GM and Chrysler have called out Mitts lies. While the Christian Right may not vote for Obama they are not going to go all out for a Mormon.

In Ohio, Obama's lead is greater than the number of undecideds. Even if Romney got all of the undecideds he would lose. I don't think that there are enough undecideds in the possible swing states, for Romney, even if he won them ALL, to cover the spread. As long as people vote, Romney is toast.

I think it would have likely kept inching toward the President regardless. I think bottom line is that Romney simply did not make his case.

But, Sandy has to make a lot of people be less cavalier with their vote, and that favors the President.

People were cavalier with their votes in 99, things were going well, they decided to shut up the lunatic right wing by voting for that Bush guy who didn't seem all that bad.

That has been their strategy this go around, turn everything to shit, scream a lot, have Romney be everything to everyone, then hope that people were cavalier with their vote.
