Romney Calls Obama's Post-Convention Gain A ‘Sugar High'

President Barack Obama raised more money in August than Mitt Romney did, outpacing him for the first time since the spring and adding to a sense in both parties that Obama is entering the post-convention sprint to Election Day in a slightly stronger position.

Romney's campaign rushed out a memo Monday stating that any post-convention polling lift for Obama was “a sugar high” that would not last the next few weeks, let alone to Election Day.

The first post-convention poll by a major news organization, from CNN and ORC International, showed Obama with a slight gain, 52 percent to 46 percent, over Romney, within the poll's margin of sampling error.

Can they possibly be bigger babies?

1. Well, we know that he doesn't have a very good record on being correct,

so I suspect he isn't correct on this one either. He's just daydreaming as usual.

[Cha]

2. Poor Mr. Willard Mitt Romney

WISHES IT WERE A SUGAR HIGH Instead of People Comparing his SUCKY LYING CONVENTION to the one The Intelligent Beings Put ON!

29. Wonderful!! NT

[DCBob]

3. Interesting they are even admitting there is a significant bounce.

That means they must be seeing it as well in their internal polling.

[Cracklin Charlie]

4. Does Mittens ever stop insulting people?

What a doofus.

[davidthegnome]

5. In that case, I wonder what he'd call

his own (tiny) Post-Convention gain? A chair high?

[Cha]

11. A

high chair?

[redwitch]

28. A highchair

where babies sit. Zactly.

[AsahinaKimi]

6. In that case I call Romney sour grapes...

And his convention more like lemon juice on a open wound.

[nolabear]

7. Well Sugar, I'M certainly high. And you are going DOWN!

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

8. Poor Mittens - he didn't get any sugar at his convention

He's sounding more petty by the day - even Rush is more or less conceding defeat at this point.

[truthisfreedom]

9. Translation: "Nobody drank our koolaid! Obama was serving koolaid!"

Except he wasn't. Our party serves the juice.

[Suji to Seoul]

10. Octane. High Octane!

Romney's sugar rush is empty calories. Obama's sugar rush is sustained energy.

[yurbud]

12. the only buzz about Romney is a shit fly

[SunSeeker]

13. The DNC was sweet all right. But that high ain't going away!

[DRoseDARs]

14. Obama Calls Romney Post-Convention Gain A 'Collapsed Soufflé'

Also, tastes like shit. Bon appetit, asshole.

[trailmonkee]

15. or maybe.... Chinese Food?

That can mean quite a few things.... Besides the classic 'you'll be hungry 5 minutes after you finish'

[jsr]

16. Mormons and their sugar

[trailmonkee]

17. .

[klook]

26. Great find!

Sugar, aka Mormon Crack.

18. Somewhat Like Republicans on polls in General

The "bounce" after the RNC was a solid reflection of the confidence of the people in Romney. The "bounce" after the DNC is a sugar high of deluded people feeling their entitlements. Have you noticed a sense of contempt by the Republicans for people in general, unless they are rich?

[spiderpig]

19. Every time these dingbats say something that gets on my last nerve

they follow up with something that gets on a last nerve I didn't know I had.

I realize I'm biased on general principle, but has this moran Mittens even uttered anything that wasn't completely stupid and/or deranged?

He makes my head spin. I'm going to have some fried shrimp.

[Rozlee]

24. Now, calm down.

It only seems like a sugar high to them because their campaign is in a diabetic coma from low blood sugar.

[Corgigal]

20. another theme song

[Monk06]

21. If the tables were turned and Romney was 5 pts ahead they would be calling a landslide.

[JoePhilly]

22. Mitt's convention served Rotten Apples sauteed in sour grapes ...

Consumed by the gnashing of teeth, and washed down with bitter tears.

[Javaman]

23. well then lost mittens, perhaps you should have used a little honey

rather than vinegar.



can mittens campaign really be that stupid? yes.

[duhneece]

25. It was so sweet

there was a sweet, sweet spirit in the place...

[madrchsod]

27. well it`s better than Romney`s bad acid trip

[IggleDoer]

30. Dems get a sugar high.

Repubicans are more saccharine.

[Tom Ripley]

31. It stands to reason that Romney wouldn't recognize a coffee high. Strong black coffee.

[NYC Liberal]

32. So if Romney had gotten any bump, that would have been a "sugar high" too?

Somehow I doubt he'd be singing that tune.

[Thrill]

33. The problem is. They don't have a good candidate

or even a popular candidate. No one likes him. So he can't afford to fall behind by much
