He is invigorating his base but little more. We believe that he has fallen and cannot get up. Time will tell.

Yesterday his numbers on the Index were at a minus 17. The move up to a minus 12 is one of the largest single day jumps in the history of this this 12 month tracking poll.

The Index measures passion or political excitement. Clearly, the Lefties love the new and combative Obama. THAT is what has change. To be sure, he has been combative all along, but following the embarrassment in Massachusetts, he has decided that he has not been aggressive enough in seeking the implementation of his Marxist/Bolshevik agenda. That has changed. Midknight Review expects there to be a surge favoring Obama - but he has burned too many bridges and angered too many people on the Right and in the Middle to be able to overcome the hole he has dug for himself.

His "most likely voter" numbers should improve, as well, but have not experienced any serious change as of yet. We should see some change in those numbers by Monday. He has polled below 50% on every day since November 16th of 2008. What he cannot do, in our opinion, is escaped his own pettiness and ineptness as a political leaders. He is not a leader in the political sense and complaints from within his own party testify to this conclusion. But , he is a good orator and an aggressive community organizer. He loves the fight and has been so for more than 20 years. We have said it before --- he will not compromise or retreat; he has to be broken. Is the rest of the country up for the challenge? We think so.

We must never forget that he raised 800 million dollars to McCains 340 million and won the election by only 6.5 % of the vote.
