I thought polls didn't matter to Republicans and that they were all 'liberal biased'?!?! Oh wait.....that's ONLY TRUE if Romney is behind, but when he might be ahead, ITS GOSPEL! Same old crap from the GOP.

270 is the only poll. No doubt, the debate helped a tad, but in terms of electoral votes, MR is still behind.

All I can say is thank God my fellow Republicans picked Mitt Romney in the primary.

Here are the facts.

Republicans knew the truth about Governor Romney the whole time and knew Obama was lying and dissorting both of their records and plans.

We questioned the polls because we didn't realize the extent to which he had deceived Americans with his pond scum. We knew that he couldn't be ahead in the polls based on reality.

The debate exposed Obama's lies when he was finally transparent and people who had been fooled finally realized it!

So now, instead of the polls being based on Obama vs. Obama's caricature of Gov. Romney they are really based on Obama vs. Gov. Romney.

And somehow this "conspiracy" managed to keep FOX in the dark about Romney's "true self".....yeah, right.

I must say, it's a lot of fun having very little but contempt for both parties and watching from the sidelines. Both parties are consistent on this matter: Whoever is behind in the polls claims that the polls are rigged or irrelevant or inaccurate or whatever. Dems have done it countless times, Repubs have done it countless times.

We still haven't seen the full impact of the debate on the polls. Rasmussen was the first one to come in that would have gathered the bulk of their data after the first presidential debate. I wouldn't get too excited until we see the other polls come in. I do think that it seriously hurts Obama to show up for a debate looking weak and lethargic like he did. We've seen it before. He's a wiz at reading a pre-written speech from the teleprompter, but he's always kinda sucked at debates where he has to react quickly and spontaneously to the unexpected. The key to beating him has always been to throw a wrench into his pre-memorized script and that is exactly what Romney did.

Debates can sometimes have virtually no impact at all and sometimes they have a tremendous impact on the outcome. If Romney can solidly win all of the remaining debates and no unexpected scandal pops up, I think it'll be enough for him to win the election.

This was in your second link as well, updated yesterday. Obviously the examiner isn't buying into the new poll results you are extolling.

An updated look at the 2012 Electoral College map with polls - National Political Buzz | Examiner.com

When they change their own poll to reflect what they print then there may be something to it.

What everyone fails to realize is that these polls don't take into account for the cold water Friday's jobs report threw on the post debate after glow.
