Barron's: How the biggest UK bookmaker sees the election
Here's a good point:
The decisive vote in the matter, according to my sources, was cast by David Axelrod, Obama’s chief political strategist, who argued that the Obamas needed Clinton far more than Clinton needed them. Axelrod had long been aware that things were not going as well for Obama as the mainstream media reported. On the eve of the party’s presidential convention, Democrats had outspent Republicans 4 to 1 and had poured more than $200 million into negative commercials against Mitt Romney, and yet polls showed the race to be a dead heat, with Romney beginning to pull ahead in some critical swing states.

After outspending Republicans 4 to 1, Obama hasn't pulled ahead. Now that Romney is the nominee, he will have plenty of new money to spend.

They looked up the instant that Wrong Way Chartigan endorsed Obama, thereby guaranteeing his loss.
The Statistical Stupe is too dumb to realize that the key figure in all polls this summer was not by what statistically insignificant margin Obama led in one poll or trailed in another, but the fact that in the national average & in the dozen or so swing states he could not stay at 50% or higher.

Even including the outlier Rasmussen and Purple Strategies polls, the simple electoral truth is that Romney doesn't lead in a single one of the ten battleground states shown by Real Clear Politics using polls taken during the last 30 days.
He did lead in North Carolina including a ridiculous Rasmussen poll showing him to be five points ahead. But that poll was taken on Aug. 1 and is now invalid by virtue of being over 30 days old. If all other North Carolina polls are included, Obama is ahead as he is in every one of the other battleground states.
So I ask you - just which battleground states is Romney "starting to pull ahead?" Name me even ONE such state. You won't be able to do so because there simply aren't any.
Facts are stubborn things.
