Comments on: Romney peaking in Iowa? http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/10/03/romney-peaking-in-iowa/ Covering the 2008 election Tue, 02 Dec 2008 23:17:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.5 by: eyeon08.com » What happened to Romney in September? http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/10/03/romney-peaking-in-iowa/#comment-36163 Thu, 04 Oct 2007 15:29:23 +0000 http://www.eyeon08.com/2007/10/03/romney-peaking-in-iowa/#comment-36163 [...] Yesterday, I wrote about Mitt Romney’s Ames effect wearing off in Iowa. I am pretty sure that I missed the story. Gallup Poll’s Frank Newport had the first hint: I disagreed. In fact, one thing the national polls have shown us is that Mitt Romney was unable to translate his victory in the straw poll in Iowa in early August into a sustained lead at the national level.  Romney was treading along at 8% of the national Republican vote in two polls in July and early August, then jumped to 14% in our first August poll after the straw poll.  Then it was back to 10% by early September and now at 7% in our last September poll. No sustained bounce. [...] […] Yesterday, I wrote about Mitt Romney’s Ames effect wearing off in Iowa. I am pretty sure that I missed the story.

He was dissed by Rush Limbaugh today, for issuing some slimy statement about Rush and the phony soldiers story. Hugh Hewitt spent an hour trying to repair the damage. It won't work.
