Or is Politico just a left leaning site dong a hatchet job? (Genuine question, btw…I don’t know.)
Either way there seems a bit of a leadership crisis going on over there in Mitt’s camp.
In b4 Zeb.

All I know is this is what “they” want you to believe, whether it is true or not.
Obama is, again, getting a pass in the press, and people have to actually look for themselves to get a fair look at the guy. Mitt on the other hand, is getting slaughtered in the press daily, and context of words obvisouly only applies when Obama is speaking.
The media is sickening, and sorry to SMH, who is by all accounts a good dude, and I hate to shit on his profession, but the modern journalist, typically, is a cocksucker shilling and pandering.
But, that is besides the point. I feel like Mitt has had a plan all along, good or bad, and they are sticking with it. The Ryan pick was a curve ball, ignoring Obama’s smears for so long was a strange play, but given all these so called “stumbles” it isn’t like Obama is so far and away in the lead the race is over.
Yes Obama is polling out on top, yes this is in some cases because the data is altered, and yes it matters, but by no means is this over 50 days out.
Actually, yes it is over. No need to go vote for Obama, he is going to win in a landslide. So just stay home and watch nanny bo-bo or whatever it is you like.

I’m more curious about the alleged ‘management failings’ , using the term loosely, that are brought up in the article. Of course it isn’t over, but that’s not what I was asking about. I read a further article on there that the campaign is now changing tack.
Which I would see as both good and bad.Is Politico fairly reliable? Seems to be okish, I haven’t checked if the quotes attributed to Stevens for eg , are accurate.
They don’t have much to work with.

Could it be a fact that Obama is less of a douche than Romney ?

So you are confirming the bias?

Yeah, we should have nominated some starry eyed right wing fundamentalist nut job.
What the heck does Romney know? He only graduated with a double law and business degree from Harvard, was Governor of a state, turned around the Olympics, made 300 million bucks in the private sector and has had a 47 year successful marriage.
We need someone far, far to the right of Romney so that Obama could win by 65% of the vote.
(eye roll)
It’s difficult to win an election against a person who has never done anything wrong.
From the start the Obama sleeze machine has made this election about Romney. Nice job on their part I must say.
But the media has helped Obama immensely!
100 million people on some sort of government aid…not Obama’s fault!
45 Million people on food stamps…not Obama’s fault!
Unemployment over 8% for 43 straight months…not Obama’s fault!
16 trillion dollars in debt…not Obama’s fault!\
Gas prices over double what they were when Obama took office…not Obama’s fault!
Mid East policy in shambles one diplomat tortured and killed…not Obama’s fault!
The media has done what I thought they would do. They’ve made Obama the teflon President. I don’t think there is anything that could happen that the media would report fairly. The opinion of those in the middle east has never been lower of the US. Much lower than when GW Bush was President. But back then the media said “people hate us in the middle east because of George Bush.” But today we hear nothing. They also blamed Bush for high gas prices they’re over double what they were when Bush left office and all we hear re crickets chirping.
I’m actually shocked that Romney is within 5pts or so in a very close race. And if he does well in the debates without the media filter he may win it.
I’ve been following Presidential politics a long time and I’ve never seen anything like this. Obama failed the country for four years but that’s not enough for the media they’re going to stick with him because he’s a lefty.
Nice!
Romney has made a few mistakes that could well cost him the election.

So, you openly admit there is bias, therefore the reporting of the two candidates isn’t independent or impartial?
But you somehow, as an American in 2012 are okay with this. Are you okay with this because the bias of the media agrees with your opinion?
I thought liberals were all about equality and “fair”. (Or relative fairness, whatever that is.)
Out of the 10 states with the highest percentage of filers with no Income Tax liability, all but one ? Florida ? are reliable Republican stalwarts.

Politico actuallactually tends to lean right. Fred Ryan, the CEO, is the chairman of the board for the Regan Foundation. There was some controversy a few years back when George W Bush publicly endorsed it.
But obviously this kind of thing often has a nebulous effect on individual stories, which can lean in any direction depending on their author and nature. And Politico’s real bias is toward high quantities of stories, which is why so many of them are laughably flimsy. Most people regard it as essential political reading anyways, because apparently most of Washington follows it pretty closely.

Thank you, that’s what I was looking for .
Belay that abandon ship order. The bounce is pretty much over. Observe: Gallup has Obama down to a one point lead.
Conclusion: We got us a race on our hands.

Thanks for dropping that poll in the thread Sloth. I like to follow the popular vote but the key states are more exciting to watch.
In Ohio as of 9-12 it’s a virtual dead heat according to Rasmussen. What I like about Rasmussen this time around is that the people polled are evenly matched dems, repubs and Ind. Many media pollsters don’t do that. They poll more democrats and they come up with an Obama lead of 4-5 points, gee I wonder why?
Edit: Note that the Rasmussen poll is the most recent 9-12. The earlier polls show more of an Obama lead as he was coming off his convention and still had the bounce. But I would say that the bounce (at least in Ohio) is gone!
By the way, there is a strategy for Romney to win without Ohio but it would take three other states including Wisconsin to fall into place.

I still believe it’s Romney’s election to lose…not the other way around. It’s just that he’s coming up with some real howlers lately!
