Today in Dayton, Ohio, Barack Obama was asked about the GOP ticket’s huge upswing in the polls. Here’s his answer:
You know I just think that the notion that people are swinging back and forth in the span of a few weeks, or a few days, this wildly generally isn’t borne out. These are the same polls that had me 20 down last Summer that have swung wildly throughout this process.
Funny. About a week ago he seemed to take polls pretty seriously. On 60 Minutes, Steve Kroft asked him if he ever doubted he’d get the Democratic nomination:
Obama: “Of course.”
Kroft: “When?”
Obama: “Well, let’s see. About a year ago we were down 30 in Iowa.”
Denial is not a plan. Oh wait, for Obama it actually is.
