Having fun with Romney campaign's 'DON'T PANIC!' memo

How do you know a campaign is panicking? When they send out memos urging people not to panic. Let's take a look at this memo, and laugh at them.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Interested Parties
RE: State of the Race
DATE: September 10, 2012

Don't get too worked up about the latest polling.  While some voters will feel a bit of a sugar-high from the conventions, the basic structure of the race has not changed significantly.  The reality of the Obama economy will reassert itself as the ultimate downfall of the Obama Presidency, and Mitt Romney will win this race.

What's this about "conventionS" giving voters a sugar high? Last time I looked, Romney got a combined 1.9-point bounce after his convention. Obama is at 5.5 points and counting. Only one convention gave voters a sugar high.

But this is a bit confusing'haven't they spent the last three days arguing that President Barack Obama's convention speech was a big disaster?

In his acceptance speech, President Obama did not offer any solutions for the millions of Americans unemployed or underemployed.  But his convention speech was not the only big letdown to voters, as Americans also dealt with yet another dismal jobs report last week.
Ah, there we go. Obama's speech was a "big letdown to voters." But if it was such a letdown, how could it give those same voters a sugar high?

Don't expect explanations or logic, just a lot more nonsense, below the fold.

11:38 AM PT: Anyone else find it odd that Mitt's pollster put out a state-of-the race memo this morning that was almost entirely devoid of polling data?
