Mitt's growing lead
The polls are showing Mitt pulling away from Obama. Based on what I'm hearing in conversations, it's not surprising at all. There seems to be a hidden bloc of voters who, a while ago, quietly wrote Obama off and needed only an excuse to back a legitimate opponent. Mitt's strong showing in the first debate -- and not necessarily Obama's mediocre-to-bad performance -- helped a lot . But the best thing going for Mitt has always been: A.) The economy. B.) Obama's overrated campaign prowess. ... It now looks like this election really is Mitt's to lose.
