President Obama got a modest bounce from last week’s Democratic National Convention, pulling ahead of Republican challenger Mitt Romney, according to polls released Monday by CNN and Gallup.
Obama leads Romney, 52 percent to 46 percent, among likely voters in a CNN survey taken between Friday and Sunday, the three days after the convention. A poll taken in the four days before the Democratic convention -- which were also the four days after the Republican convention -- showed the two candidates tied at 48 percent.

Thank God! Romney isn't my greatest fear for the future of the his country, it's his fellow travelers -- those he's been pandering to through the primary season. No matter what he personally believes, he needs them and won't be able to ignore them.
There is a world of difference between Romney and President Obama. That was more evident than usual after the conventions. I believe that if a very lazy media would just forget the BS "issues" like Romney's dog and his motor trip, or President Obama's birth certificate, they could get to a real issue: Romney's character and fitness to be President vs. President Obama. This article should give us all pause, disputing Romney's carefully cultivated image as a financial and jobs manager: http://www.businessinsider.com/matt-taibbi-mitt-romney-bain-rolling-stone-2012-8
