Even if he isn't, that jazzes up the GOP base.

As we've seen, it doesn't take much for Dems to go into a tailspin and loose enthusiasm.

Less enthusiasm = less votes.

Do you think the VP debate will affect his momentum? - nishab - 12-Oct-2012 11:44 AM
- I think brought some Dems off the ledge, so yes. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 11:47 AM
  - Which they should have never been on. Look at how Rs - Binky - 12-Oct-2012 11:52 AM
    - I know. I can't get over how ridiculous it was. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 11:53 AM
      - It was. Reagan's first debate against Mondale was way worse - Binky - 12-Oct-2012 11:55 AM
        
        Mondale got a 9 point bounce out of that one. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:00 PM
        That's the difference, however. The Dems needed to - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 11:56 AM
        
        The reaction of the Democrats to this whole thing was downright bizarre. - AliciasAngel - 12-Oct-2012 12:22 PM
        
        It's been pretty shocking. I expected polls to tighten. They act like the race - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:40 PM
        
        R$ has the polling lead, however...it's tacking back a bit today... - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 12:41 PM
        
        Nationally he had it in August with RVs. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:45 PM
        
        Did he? I seem to remember it tied at one point, maybe he was up - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 12:48 PM
        
        Ras, Gallup and Reuters had Romney leading by 1-2 pts at times in Aug. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:51 PM
        
        I know, but like I said, we didn't have the majority of polls showing - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 1:04 PM
        
        I disagree. The national polls look very much now like August. - LM - 12-Oct-2012 1:14 PM
        
        Exactly. EOM - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 12:39 PM
        
        And that affected poll numbers since enthusiasm was down. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:01 PM
      - I'm not sure I can ever forgive them, either. I've stopped watching them. EOM - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 11:55 AM
        
        I tried a bit of MSNBC and CNN last night. EOM - LM - 12-Oct-2012 12:01 PM
        
        Tamra Hall on MSNBC was refreshing this morning. I do like her. EOM - Ninotchka - 12-Oct-2012 12:04 PM
        
        I do too. She can be Soledad like sometimes. - nishab - 12-Oct-2012 12:13 PM
