Attention Obonzo: You're Fucked! The New York Times Explains
Why:

BOCA RATON, Fla. — With a last aggressive debate performance behind
him and 14 grueling days ahead, President Obama is now facing what he
worked so hard to avoid: a neck-and-neck race with a challenger
gaining ground when it matters most.
Over the last month, through the debates and a gradual moderation of
the conservative tone he struck during the Republican primaries, Mitt
Romney undermined the Democrats’ expensive summertime work of casting
him as the candidate of and for the rich, emerging as a far more
formidable opponent than Mr. Obama had ever expected.
He continued down the path of moderation here on Monday night,
agreeing with Mr. Obama almost as often as he disagreed.
“For the first time in this race, I’d rather be us than them,” said
Senator Marco Rubio, Republican of Florida, crediting Mr. Romney’s
strength in the first debate as a critical shift in the campaign.
“They spent months building him up as one thing and one night he
disproved it.”
It is now unmistakable that Mr. Obama, who leaned forward in his chair
at several points during the debate and glared at his rival, is
focused on protecting some of his safest turf and Mr. Romney is seeing
new opportunities to take it.
Though polls have shown a mix of results, it is more often than not
Mr. Romney who is on the upward trajectory, if not always overtaking
Mr. Obama, then, at least, cutting into his leads among important
constituencies. For instance a CBS News poll released Monday showed
his edge among women was down to 5 percentage points from 12 a month
ago. Another, from CBS News and Quinnipiac University, showed Mr.
Obama’s lead in Ohio among likely voters narrowing to 5 percentage
points from 10 points last month.
Mr. Obama will spend the next two weeks pitting the campaign machinery
he built to push his voters to the polls against Mr. Romney’s sense of
momentum and new signs of hope in states that were tilting away from
him only a month ago.
