re: "Muffins looked lost in the forest"
To you - but you aren't getting your information from objective sources, or even countering the information you're getting with information from the other side.
Note that the latest Gallup poll shows shows the race to be neck-and-neck. That tells you how Romney "looks" to people whose views aren't skewed to the left of normal as severely as yours are.
Now consider the cirumstances. Romney has just weathered six months of brutal attacks from the other Republican candidates. Obama hasn't had to deal with anything like that.
Now, the attacks from the right have ended... and Romney has emerged unscathed and vetted. At the same time, Obummer's free ride ends.
During this period which has definitely been rough on Romney, Obummer hasn't been able to build a lead. To me, that means you can' stick a fork in him. It only gets worse for Obummer from here.
