Has anyone heard this on MSNBC? It's on Fox and CNN but I've monitored MSNBC for several hours on the way back from Atlanta today and there was nothing on the hearings, just what's her name ranting about her belief Romney reversed his position on Abortion today when talking to a local TV station reporter in Ohio, and then flipped again. That was interesting in itself. He played that reporter nicely. Listen very carefully to exactly what he said to that reporter without preconceptions.

Well Steven - the surge comes from his party that members and supporters seem to approve of:

A > The Big Bang theory are lies straight from the pit of hell. Also = that the earth is 9000 years old.

B > That Endorse the death penalty for rebellious children.

C > The death penalty for women that have miscarriages.

D > Rape is just another form of Conception.

I mean - with sound thinking like this - this country will be back on top in no time.

Perhaps Romney has read "the Art of War".

"Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline, simulated fear postulates courage, simulated weakness postulates strength."

"Hence that general is skillful in attack whose opponent does not know what to defend and he is skillful in defense whose opponent does not know what to attack"

"O divine art of subtlety and secrecy! Through you we learn to be invisible, through you we inaudible; and hence we can hold the enemy's fate in our hands."

"He who can modify his tactics in relation to his opponent and therby succeed in winning, may be called a heaven born captain."

"Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move fall like a thunderbolt."

"He will conquer who has learnt the artifice of deviation. Such is the art of maneuvering."

"A whole army may be robbed of its spirit; a commander-in-chief may be robbed of his presence of mind."

Nah, he hasn't read it, he is too fucking moronic.

But *NB:

Simulated disorder postulates perfect discipline, simulated fear postulates courage, simulated weakness postulates strength.

We will be revisiting this very quote, toute de suite, and in time for the actual war.

Saw on FB (and from a dyed-in-the-wool Republican) that this jump was partly due to the polls going from a +4% Democrat sampling to a +3% Republican sampling. With a sampling shift like that, it's not unlikely to see a big jump.

Add that on top of the trouncing at the debate and you can see where that bump comes from.

It should even out a bit when they pull back from oversampling Republicans.

That makes a lot of sense, but makes my head hurt. Basic sampling errors like that should not happen at this level.

I've been having a hard time figuring out where the heck it could have come from. I mean, yeah, Obama whuffed the debate, but debates usually don't matter. Then I figured it out.

Obama got a bounce from his convention. Just before it evaporated, the tape of Romney decrying the 47% surfaced, and that killed Mitt's standings. Significantly, as the undecideds took stands, Romney actually LOST support. So he was losing popularity from his own supporters - it wasn't just missing out on the undecideds.

Then the debate happened, and Romney essentially regained the ground he lost due to the video.

My guess is that Romney simply came across as human enough to reassure his bloc, and gained them back to his fold. So it's a wash with regards to the support he lost from the video.

That's my theory, and I'm sticking with it.

Seems to be the case.

And apparently, Romney surged in the last 36 hours...the polls show him ahead of Obama, but what I'm watching currently is gonna require some recovery teams.

As gaffe friendly as Biden has been known to be, he sure seems to be carrying the day tonight so far.

I'll leave it to the pundits on the news tomorrow but, it sure doesn't look like Ryan has the punch the Republicans were hoping for.

And I don't think it's because Ryan's discussion is lacking, rather, Biden's an old school dog who's just putting the kid in his place, more than comfortable in his shoes.

Unless Biden fucks up spectacularly (and it's gonna take a monstrous fuck up) in the next 45 minutes....it pretty much looks like the win goes to Biden.

Looks like "Dad" is putting the "kid" in his place.

Ya know...he's a first time guy....frankly, if I were in his boots, I'd be shaking in them...with the world looking at me so...with that, I'd say he's doing fine but....against Biden....he may have miscounted.
