No, Romney doesn't have a statistically significant lead anywhere that matters yet.

Besides, I think I'd rather be the opposition party at all levels in 2013 anyway.  Better to blame the coming fall of the EU and ensuing double dip on someone else.  Of course losing universal health care would hurt pretty badly, though.

I am tad bit more worried now then lets say after the DNC.

But, I think will be ok.
This is the first time that the Old Dominion has moved Romney into the lead in a while and that's a bellweather.

I agree that I am worried for Obama.  However, I think that if you agree with Obama on policy, there are many reasons you don't want to be the incumbent for 2012-16, so it might be a short run loss and a long run win.

I'm worried, yeah. I think that nearly everything could happen: it could prove totally inconsequential, with the jobs numbers erasing all Romney's gains

This is not going to happen. It would take 17 years of 114,000 jobs per month to create 23 million jobs. Some folks in the media can spin numbers to push their hidden agenda, but the American public is not THAT stupid.

Who wants four more years of the last four years? Not many people, which is why Obama's ONLY hope was convincing a majority that Romney is a monster, a risky gambit. Obama failed to do this, which is why he will lose.

Well it can't be that hard to create a lot more jobs.  After all, Romney has repeatedly promised to average 500K/month over his term if he wins.  All I can say is good luck with that.
