It's all about momentum and enthusiasm.
The national mood is driving the momentum in this election and will make a difference in Oregon elections in November, just like it did two years ago in 2010. Republican enthusiasm is also dramatically higher in poll after poll across the country and will impact our local elections here, both with statewide candidates, initiatives and legislative races.
Momentum is a hard thing to stop, especailly in the last week of a campaign. Romney has it as mulitple polls, some even with large Democrat over samples show.
And, it's going to get even worse.
Karl Rove's piece http://www.newsmax.com/Newsfront/rove-polls-romney-democrats/2012/10/28/id/461815 today illustrates the likelihood of the is happening as battleground state polls move towards Romney. The fact that low voting Republicans are voting in Ohio in vast numbers is a sure sign that momentum and enthusiasm is happening there, along with other states like WI, MN and PA.
Add in the recent polling that shows Republicans now outnumbering Democrats nationally as these two polls show http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/331828/two-polls-have-chicago-terrified-josh-jordan# and it is looking like Romney wins in a landslide.
