DS, you're missing the point. And the point is that Donald Trump is secretly Elvis.



Okay, on a serious note, it's sad that major security issues are being drowned out by conspiracy theories like the "fabricated" bin Laden mission. That one doesn't make sense from any angle. I mean, really... if Obama was going to fake something like that, wouldn't he wait until, I don't know, the month before voters return to the polls?

Anyway. Statistically, it looks like Romney's nationwide gains in the polls pretty much levelled off prior to the VP debate. The RCP average has him up 1%, with five consecutive polls in the 0-2% range.

It should be noted that the Pew Research poll from Oct. 4-7 has Romney up 4%, while a Politico survey which was mostly collected before the debate gave Obama a 1% edge. With that in mind, the best I'm willing to give Romney here is maybe a 1-2% advantage, reaching a fairly clear plateau before last night's tussle.
