Many on here get wrapped up about polls and it is good conversation, but the reality is that polls are a snapshot of the moment.
National polls which these cable desk clerks always shout about means nothing right now. I do not start looking nationally until 4 weeks out of the election. Right now, these national polls do not mean much.
On the other hand, the state by state polls need to be taken seriously. This is how you win a presidential election, one state at a time, which is why Mitt Romney and Company need to be very worried right now.
