About That "Mittmentum"....

It seems to have stopped, as the New York Times' expert Nate Silver notes. Indeed, the President's numbers are ticking upward slightly.

So, what should we make of shape-shifter plutocrat Willard "I'll Say Anything" Romney claiming that he has "momentum?" As VP Joe would say, "malarky." It's a common tactic to try to juice the undecided voters into thinking your candidate is inevitable, so go with the winner. It's going to be a close race, no question, and Willard's bravado is like so much of his campaign: he'll say anything to get elected.

BONUS: Sam Wang at Princeton Election Consortium agrees with Nate (and takes apart David "Bobo" Brooks in the process).
