Mitt's not over yet

Daily News:

If voters went to the polls this minute, President Obama would win. Tomorrow? Perhaps.

Six weeks from now? Not so much. Despite the hyperventilating over each and every poll and dramatic pronouncement from the Obama campaign, Mitt Romney enters the home stretch in much better shape politically than they or the media believe.

 

It won’t be easy and it won’t be pretty, but the objective reality of the campaign is fundamentally different than the political landscape seen through the filter of cable news and online coverage.

 

If you read the usual horse race coverage of the last few weeks, you’d be convinced that Romney’s campaign had entirely collapsed and that Obama would be safe staying home for the next 45 days and playing a few dozen rounds of golf in the crisp fall air of Washington, D.C.

 

From the “47%” fund-raiser video to the Libya announcement to Clint Eastwood to Paul Ryan, it seems that every week, the press declares Romney has made a fateful slip that has nailed his campaign in the coffin, once and for all.

 

After all, the Beltway media “Gang of 500” said so, right?

So the top polls all have Obama at 46 to 50% (he won 2008 with 53%) and Romney from 46 down to 43!%. McCain was at 46%. Is it all believable that Romney will get a lower percentage of votes than McCain? I don't think so. Not that popular percentage matters anyway, but the Pollsters really seem to be dinging Romney's voting base.
