Gallup poll just released has Romney up 6. He is surging, really "peaking" at the right time. And the fact that the last debate, the last impression people will have, will be on foreign policy, could not work more to Romney's advantage. He has all weekend to prepare a narrative to use the Libya debacle to back Obama into a corner from which there is no escape. I cannot imagine that Obama's camp is looking forward to this debate.

The only tough question Obama got in teh debate (and it was a very tough question) wa steh gyu who asked "who rejected the diplomat's requet for more security, and why". Obama's answer? He spoke about how heroic the diplomats are...never even came close to answering teh question that was asked. And God knows Canbdy Crowley wasn't going to ask Obama to answerthe question that was asked. I guess sheet cake isn't brain food.

McCain was gaining some ground at this point in 08'

Yes, it i snow a 7-point lead, and significantly, that poll starts to reflect the impact of the second debate. Perhaps Obama's improved performance did not stop the bleeding.

And the fact that the last debate, the one that will stick in people's minds, is foreign policy, can only help us. Romney will spend the weekend preparing to disembowel Obama over how ineptly he handled the ebmassy attack. That timing just could not work out better for Romney.

McCain lost the election when Lehman Brothers went belly-up. Once that was blamed on Republicans (no one has ever explained why Republicans did more than Democrats to cause the subprime mortgage crisis), McCain had no chance.

I can not believe Romney is doing as well as he is. Obama has cheeleaders moderating debates, and he is still very vulnerable. I never thought we'd have this good a chance with the media so in love with Obama. This "binder" nonsense just might be the stupidest, and most dishonest, thing I have ever heard.

If all Obama & the liberals can come up with 3 weeks before the election is Bigbird (who by the way makes $314k a year, not exactly non profit for a public tv station funded by tax payers) and Binders instead of their accomplishments & plan for another 4 years, don't you think thats pretty pathetic ???

So Larry,
Why so much hate of Romney as you stated ?
You resent wealth through accomplishment and hard work ?

There's one Gallup poll showing just outside of the margin, but when you look across polls Romney only has a slight lead in the popular vote.

Electoral college Obama still has the clear edge.

In other words...it's a dead heat.

I agree, why did Romney make it up? The woman who ran the company that put the binder together said his story isn't true at all. The binder was assembled for both candidates before he became gubner. At the end of Romney's tenure the % of women in his cabinet was under 30% and much lower than his successor or predecessor.

Pretty sad when you have to dodge a valid question about equal pay with a fabrication.

Call a spade a spade Spence.

Let's be serious here and agree that it is just as sad that Obama dodged valid questions in that debate as well.

Dodging questions is part of debating, I was just surprised he had to make something up to do it.

Spence,if Romney was less than honest about what happened, let's get th rtruth out. That's important. But that's not what I'm hearing. What I'm hearing from liberals is that teh fact that Romney had a binder, is offensive to women.

It's not a dead heat. One only acts this desperate (claiming that notebooks are sexist) when (1) one knows they are in trouble, and (2) when one knows that they cannot talk about the issues.

People are realizing that in the poker game of ideas, Romney's full house beats Obama's pair of 6's.

The polls show a close race. Those polls are over-sampling Democrats, and are based on demographic turnouts from 2008, which no one is claiming will happen again.

Obama is in serious trouble.

Clinton had a binder full of women...
