Come now, these are just fake media polls. Dick Morris has kept all the real polls in hiding lest he ruin the surprise of Romney winning handily in November.

Dick Morris hid the real polls in the shoe of his lady friend, and he'll make sure to get them before election day
and the real polls say, Arkansas is a tossup, Romney by 20

Is the Libertarian Action SuperPAC a major poll? They should just include Johnson in fact some of the other third party candidates as well.

"The president's campaign has put out a campaign that's talking about me and attacking me. I think it's just demeaning to the nature of the process, particularly when we face the kinds of challenges we face." - Mitt Romney - http://politicalwire.com/archives/2012/08/15/bonus_quote_of_the_day.html

Translation:
"The president's campaign is talking about me, which I don't care for, given the kinds of challenges I face in defending my record or defining myself in a way anyone would find plausible."

In any case, the recent spike in intensity with which Romney is wailing about being attacked is simply a sign of a campaign and a candidate who can sense things are starting to slip away from them and are worried they might not be able to control or reverse it.

Paul Ryan was a sign of this as well.

I haven't heard Romney talk about what he would do, because he's busy going negative and attacking Obama. Attacking your opponent is a big part of campaigning. Obama simply appears for the moment to be having more success with the tactic.

Yeah, so maybe a method of displaying the candidates that apparently favors independents, and thus puts Randall Terry, Richard Duncan, and Jerry Litzel in the top tier, while pushing Virgil Goode down to the 2nd tier, is worthy of being rethought.

With two months remaining, a general question for all Obama voters:
What do you expect from a second Obama term? I ask because at the moment, it's looking like there will be little change in the partisan or ideological composition of Congress in 2013. Anything that can't get passed today probably isn't going to find the last few remaining votes in the upcoming Congress.
In other words, are you voting for Obama because of any anticipated policies, or just because gridlock is better than a total (or near total) Republican takeover? There's nothing wrong with the latter reason, because frankly, had the past four years gone slightly differently I might be inclined to accept that line of reasoning when casting my own vote.
Not trying to be snarky or anything, but the answer hasn't been that obvious on the campaign trail.
And while we're at it, same question for Republicans/conservatives: what do you expect from a Romney administration, Republican Senate or otherwise?

I'm essentially voting for Obama because mildly positive change or no change is better than the unequivocally negative change I believe a Romney presidency coupled with a Republican-controlled Congress might offer.

This, plus the fact that all the generally unnoticed stuff that an administration does that doesn't require Congressional approval is huge.
