Sorry, what is the point of this thread?
I think a person of halfway reasonable intelligence would have read it and clearly understood the point was to discuss why the president is breaking it open in many of the swing states.
The fact of the matter is that George W. Bush had much larger leads over Al Gore in many of these places after the debates. Romney has gone has low as he can after a bad month, but let's not get carried away...
Bush led Kerry pretty substantially until his first debate which went pretty poorly. Romney's only chance now is for Obama to have a bad debate performance while he looks good. Barring that, this race is close to being over.
