Paul already made a deal with the Republicans, didn't he? He's not speaking, but his son is.

yeah but this has more to do with paul's crazy as fug base than it does dr. paul ob/gyn himself

i fully expect them to act ignorant but romney is leaving tampa the nominee regardless

[mav1234]

yeah... hell Paul would never challenge his party like that even if it was possible...

[gospodin shuttlesworth]

yeah. at the end of the day, paul is a republican

[mav1234]

at least he is now. I think there might have been a time when he would do more, but I think he is trying to look out for his son, his own legacy, etc... not that I fault him... his party is his party.

eh, whatever.

National polls mean nothing, TBH, in a race like this. The electoral college favors Obama pretty solidly.

Obama will likely win, but I don't know if I would say it favors him solidly. And Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Iowa, Nevada, Michigan, and Wisconsin are all within the polling margin of error/to close to call right now.

Fwiw, even if the republicans lose the white house, they could end up with control of both the Senate and the House. That could mean that Obama would in effect be a lameduck president from day one in his second term.

empty chair...

empty bounce.

Fwiw, Romney did get a small bounce if you take an average of the polls. And some of them (gallup for example) don't have full post convention numbers yet because of the way they poll. Gallup uses a rolling 7 day average. It appears he got a 2-3 point bounce, and with the electorate so polarized, I doubt either candidate can expect much more than that.

Of course, the important thing is if he gets a bounce in the battleground states. Fwiw, the Charlotte observer poll had Romney up by 4 points in NC. Thats a couple of points more than he had a few weeks ago, so if the poll is accurate, its good news for him.

Gallup: No convention bounce for Romney

Bottom line, Romney is in big trouble after this week's POTUS speech in front of 80000 at BOA in primetime
