In October, Romney and Obama were neck n neck. Romney was even up by 2
points (for a couple days, anyway). Then the debates started. Also, according to everyone including FOX (but not ultra-conservs, who wont make a difference anyway), the economy has gotten better.
Since the debates started, Obama has gone from a tie with Romney to +1.5 to +3 and is now at +4.4 over Romney on real clear politics. He slaughters the other GOP contenders.
And he hasn't even had to attack the GOP field. A couple quips here and there but he's letting the canibals eat their own for as long as possible. They are producing all
the soundbites he needs.
Once Mitt finally gets the nomination, the GOP will have done all his work for him.
Obama can just use soundbites from Santorum, Gingrich, Paul, Bachmann...Against Mitt. Add in Mitt's own words and this is a real problem for the GOP.
If they're going to have any chance at all, they need to end this in-fighting and fast.
Of course, this election is still like a duel in which the opponents are racing to see who can shoot themselves in the head first. Obama is trying to piss off the Catholics while Romney wants to just fire them - unless they're poor, in which case he doesn't care...
