The Five Thirty Eight blog now has Obama's chances of winning at more than 80%.

And the RCP average has the President up for the first time since the debates. It's not by a lot, only 0.3%, but it's a trend and it comes at the perfect time.

It does look like Romney has lost momentum.

He made more than a few enemies in Ohio with his China Jeep trick.

Campaign Rule No. 1: Don't trick people whose trust you are seeking.
Campaign Rule No. 2: Fear is a stronger motivator than kindness.

Romney got the order mixed up.

He purposely tried to limit his base....I think in hindsight (if he indeed loses) he will realize that he should not have joined himself at the hip to the Tea Party....Cain, Bachman, Perry,Paul, etc were all bush league candidates that he would have defeated if he would have run as a moderate. Then he would not have been painted into a corner by Aiken,Mourdock, and Sandy. Moderate Mitt might have been ahead right now if he had been moderate for the whole campaign.

It's the belief that one knows better than the other, enough to justify force, imo.

To hell with your guns, Obama's coming after your collection of gas guzzling Lincolns. Crush 'em, shred 'em and ship the pieces to the Sino-Mexicans.
