Remember the Momentum argument?

thats just the cover page for real clear politics.....is there some kind of article you want us to be reading there?.....

if you are talking about polls you have six polls in the last three weeks that show them 1 point off from a tie, three that showed them tied and one each that gave them a 5 pont advantage......the first nine are all within the margin of error.....

does that signal a change in momentum to you?......

For the past 2-3 weeks, many Republicans have cited the RCP averages, as well as the individual polls that showed Romney taking a lead, as proof of the very hyped Romney "momentum."

As of today, even Rasmussen has a tie, and every other major poll from the past week has a tie or Obama lead, with the exception of Gallup, who stopped polling. There is a very clear shift in momentum.

Yes, because before that Romney was gaining. If one canidate stops gaining, the momentum has changed.

I'm starting to see signs that the momentum has actually ever so slightly swung back to Obama, which at this late date is very encouraging.

A poll out of Colorado, just released, is a new sign and I saw a couple yesterday.

Still very close, fingers crossed, but...Romney has no momentum.

I agree there are small signs, Im not calling it momentum but if it keeps up over the weekend, Ill call it momentum. We dont have much time left to be able to determine if its a trend or not. Id rather have the numbers moving in my favor than not.
 
Quite a few polls in these last few days have Obama up now - some of today's polls have him up in places like OH and CO. If the election were held right now, Romney's path to a victory would be a lot more difficult than Obama's.

Not to say that much won't happen between now & election day. I'm certainly interested to see what Fox can cook up for this last news cycle.

They are working overtime, believe me! ;)
 
I expect Saturday fireworks, with lots of last min scandals being sloshed around. If anyone were saving anything of any signifigance they would have slung it yesterday or maybe 5 pm tonight.
 
You libs crack me up, Fox has made up a big hoax, right? I guess they made up the memos huh? Wait, maybe they made Obama say it was a YouTube video demonstration too for weeks, maybe there really was no Benghazi and it was all made up by Fox
 
so, just to be clear, since today's polls were a tie and a plus 1 for Romney, does Jarod think the momentum has changed again?......

Fox lies, they went to court for the right to lie. They are not a trustworthy news source, they are commentary not news.

Geraldo is even calling certain Fox personel on their lies! We need discover in what went wrong in Benghazi, but fabricating things is just wrong.
 
Hopefully IF Obama is re elected the truth still comes out and he gets impeached.

And Fox News aside, you libs still forget Benghazi ever happened, do you remember all the Obama people saying for weeks that it was a YouTube demonstration before finally admitting it was terrorism. Do you not care about the truth or the failure there? Does getting Obama reelected trump getting answers?

You can make any bs claims you want about Fox, point is the major liberal news outlets have swept it under the rug. And the funny thing is, the only time they came out reporting Benghazi was to attack Romney when he came out vocally about Be ghazi. The funny thing is, turns out HE WAS RIGHT and OBAMA was WRONG

Nothing will be done over what happened in Benghazi. This nation did not prosecute Bush, Rumsfeld, Perle, Wolfowitz or Powell, nothing will come of this but changes in how we respond to crisis at our embassies.
