[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...aaaand Romney was hosting a fundraiser in FL.  What's your point?[/quote]

Um......one is President one is not? Not that hard to figure out.

And for the record, Carter was up in the polls at this point too. [/quote]

Maybe you are too young to remember.

But the polls had 10% undecided and another 20% going to John Anderson.  This isn't a 3 way race, and there are only 6% undecided.  So sorry this is not remotely the same.[/quote]

Not too young. He was already fading (below 20% at this stage) and many polls showed Anderson voters second choices split between Carter and Reagan.  It wasn't a 3 way race. Hadn't been for months. Even if all those voters broke for Reagan a lot of Carter voters broke for him too to make it the landslide it was. Regardless, debating polling is useless. Voters are fickle. [/quote]

No, Anderson was well into the double digits at that point.  He ended with 7% of the vote.  That's 7-8 points right there.  And there are another 5=6 points in undecideds.  That adds up to 12-14 points of swing on top of the undecideds in this election.

Sorry but your math is wrong.  This is not 1980.[/quote]
