Is Romney's base shrinking?

9/8: 11,000 show up for Obama in Florida while Romney draws 2,800 in Virginia

The Washington Post reported, “Hoping to blunt any momentum his rival has picked up in Florida since the GOP convention, Obama opened his bus trip in the Interstate 4 corridor, which cuts through the center of the the state from the Gulf Coast to the Atlantic, with a rally for 11,000 in St. Petersburg, not far from Tampa.

The Virginian-Pilot had this to say about attendance at Mitt Romney’s rally, “He spoke to 2,800 who had gathered hours earlier in an aircraft hangar to hear the Republican presidential nominee.”

The DNC convention may have a big bounce out on the trail. Willard, not so much.

I think another factor is that RMoney took time off from campaigning after the RNC, whereas Obama/Biden hopped right on the bus and continued campaigning.

I think RMoney believes that the Presidency is his because Mormon prophecy says the Mormons will take over and save the US.

I think it's BS, and I think RMoney is hurting his campaign every day.

And that's just fine by me.

Election guru Nate Silver of 538 w/ NYT is now predicting Obama 317 - 221 Elec. College. Lead widened considerably after bad GOP convention.

Myra, this says you are right about Willard losing the base or most all the indies. That's a big number for Nate, he's been lagging.

Cute story about Obama teasing a little Hawaiian-born kid in Florida today, "You got a birth certificate?"

The numbers are very encouraging - provided everyone gets to cast their vote.
