Would be amusing if it were not indicative of how deep in Barry’s bag most of the news media is that any new, unpleasant news about our failing economy almost always gets the modifer “unexpectedly.”
Instapundit has been pointing out this trend in news reporting for several years now. If you haven’t noticed it, be sure to look for it. If Barry (g-d forbid) wins re-election you’ll be seeing a lot more of it, I’m sure.
And if Romney wins? Heh. “Unexpectedly” probably will become “expected.”
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Yeah. Still, the latest spread of electors doesn’t look promising for Romney.
Depends on whose spread you look at. As of Oct. 10, one poll has Romney leading in all the swing states, including Ohio, which would put him over the top. Pick your poll.
