The debates will be the final blow to a corrupt administration...
If I "knew if all", I surely would not be asking when the debates are. Why are you so angry? ( Maybe you are angry because you know Obama is going to win in 2012 and you want to frame the one poll that shows Romney ahead, even if a temporary jump in Romney's favor due to VP pick and convention. And you dont want anyone to mention it's a temporary jump because you have false hope in Romney even though he is sure to lose?)

There are many articles as well as historical statistics that explain the jump in the polls that occur when a VP is chosen, and when a convention takes place. It's common knowledge.

Edit...the debates are in October

If it's a tie race then it comes down to turnout. The selection of Ryan means that conservatives are not just enthused but on fire. Even for people who are not convinced by Romney's right turn, there is the prospect of a true-believer, limited-gov't conservative prez in 2020 (Ryan will still be only 50 in the year 2020).

I'm not saying Romney will win. Intrade still has Obama at 56% and has proven to be accurate in the past. Obama still has the MSM in his corner, which is huge. But anyone who thinks this is a slam dunk for Obama is kidding themselves.

In just 10 days Romney has gone from -7 to +2 and in all polls combined it's a dead heat.

If by lead you mean losing, then I agree.

When are you going to change your username to "hogsgums"?

Your comments certainly lack bite.

Too bad the election was held in November instead of August, huh...

But then again, it was Gallup, and they missed it by a mile.

Four more years.
