I get like this every election. I just want this month to end. I cannot stand it. I hate Mitt Romney, I fucking hate him. It's one thing to pander, even the Pres has done that, they all do. But this dude is a shell that said whatever he had to in the primary to win it, then all of the sudden he shrugs it off and makes an instant shift to the center. He's like two different people.
I see what Silver was saying now. My eyes practically bloodshot right now, sorry for that.
I know I'm being a bit angry in regards to his performance, but I have never been so disappointed in Obama before. You just... there's so much on the line here, you don't fuck around at a debate like that, I don't care what your intent is and how clever you may be.
And really the more I think about it, especially given how Obama was right back on track the very next day, he intentionally downplayed his willingness to be there. I think he was trying to study the real Mitt because they had a hunch he was going to abandon all the primary bullshit to make a power grab for swing voters. I get it, but it was still way too nuanced.
I'll take you guys at your word that you truly feel without any bias or cheerleading in your estimations that Romney will not be making any epic huge gains in upcoming polls. I'm still gonna hold my breath.
