Last Call For the President

Tonight the President and Governor Romney will have their second debate. Over the last two weeks we have heard nothing about how badly the President did in the prior meeting and it has all been truthful. The pressure is on.

Recent polls show the race much closer than it was nationally, even more important the swing state polls seem to indicate that a clear path to victory is now available to each candidate.

This debate tonight, barring an October surprise in world events, should be the deciding factor. What Obama's people know,and what no one is talking about now, is that the longer that the President and the Governor are neck and neck in the polls the less likely it is that the President will win.

Traditionally undecided voters break for the challenger in a race as the election gets closer. It seems that if two weeks out or less if you still cannot find a definitive reason to vote for the President you will roll the dice and vote against the incumbent. This is terrible news for the White House.

If Obama loses this country could be in for post election strife or worse. I do not think Romney will be as bad as he has campaigned but I also am not sure he will be a good President. One thing is clear this race has morphed to the race the challenger wanted. Romney as long as he does not spit on himself or say something stupid has made this race not about him, but about the President. The President has not laid out a plan of his own, he has debated poorly, and his passion seems non existent.

We will know much more at this time tomorrow and I would not daresay predict what will hapen, what we do know is that this race did not need to be this close.
