Not to mention the slew of flip-flops that Romney just had on abortion and health care. People are reminded of why they didn't like Romney in the first place before he momentarily restored himself as their Great White Hope.

But it's early yet.

It looks like Romney may have gone up 1 point in today's Gallup Poll of LV.

So although Biden did well, what the public is waiting for is for OBAMA to do well. I don't think we'll see much poll movement until Obama has his moment.

I've seen both of their events. The Obama events have people straining to shake his hand, etc., taking pics. Romney? Pffft. they're barely involved at all, and 1/3 the size of the President's crowds.

Maybe the busses from Mass and Utah broke down...

But it's also about who comes out to vote.

The right-wing doesn't like Romney, and polls show most voters are picking him because they dislike OBAMA not because they like Mitt.

But they're still showing up in the POLLS in large numbers because while they aren't interested in attending a Romney rally per se, they may still come out to vote for him as an anti-Obama vote.

And as Obama said to his crowds in FLORIDA yesterday, "Don't get Mad! VOTE!!"

People voting for him don't understand what that means, really.

Non-Mormons are not really people to Mormons, unless they're a potential recruitment.

And you can see it in how Romney treated companies and workers at Bain.

It's actually hard work running for president, something I truly doubt Romney has experience with.

And why wasn't the media all over him when he was "exhausted"? Imagine if Obama or Biden had taken off for "exhaustion"?
