It may be Tuesday, but it sure feels like a Monday. Especially with the rather disturbing polling news (which I haven’t heard any Republicans calling bullshit over, so they must be correct). Not only has our boy Mitt taken a national lead in two polls (4% Pew, 2% PPP), but women have also apparently fallen out of love with Obama (or a lot of them have, anyway). The Pew poll had Obama’s 18-point lead with women evaporating completely, while PPP has it down from 16 points to 6. And polling in the swing states shows Obama’s leads shrinking in them, too. So that kinda sucks, and doesn’t bode well for November.
Here I thought we’d all agreed that Romney sucks and you’d have to be an idiot to vote for him, and now it’s starting to look like he’s going to get elected (this may seem premature to you, but, I assure you, I’ve seen SU blow enough leads in my time that I can tell when things are turning to shit early in the third quarter – or second half, depending on the sport).
Just pray the filthy Republicans (channeling my inner Mike Malloy there) don’t take the Senate, because between them and the DINOs us 47% slackers are in for some hard times. At least we’ll finally be done with Joe Lieberman (although it looks like CT is gonna stick us with a damn Republican).
In other news, Jerry Sandusky was sentenced today. Facing over 300 years in prison, he was let off pretty easy, only getting 30 to 60. That means he’ll be eligible for parole when he’s 98. The big question is, will his wife wait for him? Maybe she and Susan Poland can get an apartment together near the prison. Kind of a Golden Girls thing.
On the bright side (for them), I bet they’re all Republicans.
