I need to catch me a wife first. But my prospects are probably low since wymyns apparently want to exterminate all men with hair.

Oh, I’ve seen though, am not saying the momentum is not real, more like it will last? That was charlie cook’s point in his analysis and he has a darn good track record, h

That Charlie Cook article was published Saturday October 6 and was more likely written either Thursday or Friday right after the debate way before the polls showing Romney gaining momentum. And I have always considered Cook a democrat hack. It means nothing as does Cook.

On his website it’s dated 8 Oct actually, but you might be roght, his site takes annoying,y long to update, I think he dirst publishes his analyses in the NJ and rn they mke it unto his site. But you migth be right, I am currently reading another article by him, in the National Journal, dated 10 Oct, and while he still sounds v cautious, he looks like he is a lot more unsure, and he raises a lot more questions marks, we will see over the next week if the momentum for Romney holds’ bla, blah….bere’s how he ends said article, pretty inconclusive…but maybe this flurry of polls that we see is exactly shat he ist talking about:

More data are always a good thing, and there should be more reliable surveys–both nationwide and in swing states–released in the next day or so that will make it easier to pinpoint exactly how much Obama fell and Romney gained from the rumble in the Rockies. Romney desperately needed a break, something to change the trajectory of this race, and clearly he got one in the debate. How much exactly the debate did and how much the surprisingly strong jobs report on Friday offset it will become more clear in the coming days.

This is the part of his more recent 10 Oct article in National Journal, that I didn’t like:

‘The only live interview battleground state poll that was out as of Monday night was a Selzer and Co. poll for the debate’s home campus, the University of Denver, taken Oct. 4 and 5 of 604 likely Colorado voters. This poll showed Obama ahead by 4 points, at 47 percent to 43 percent, roughly splitting the difference between mid-September polls by CBS News and The New York Times by Quinnipiac University, which showed Obama up by 1 point, 48 percent to 47 percent, and an NBC News and Wall Street Journal poll conducted by Marist University that put the margin at 5 points, 50 percent to 45 percent. All three polls were of likely voters.’
