I forgot to mention something else. Look at the dates of the polls. We have had some dramatic events in the last few days. It will be interesting on if/when they are updated after recent events. I don't know which way they will go.
You're right... Mittens is looking even more stupid and out-of-touch than he usually does... That will probably have an effect...At least on most thinking people.
Since he doesn't have an original thought that didn't come from a focus-group, it will take a day or two for the results to be analyzed so he'll know what to say and how to respond... It can happen in as little as 20 minutes, (as we've seen), or could take a whole day....
