I wrote a few days ago that if the Democrats could maintain the enthusiasm they showed on the first day of their convention for all three days, Mitt Romney would be in serious trouble.

They did, and he is.

If this is not what the polls currently show, try to remember that polls are not destiny. And you should not let them shape it.

Democratic enthusiasm -- real fire-in-the-belly enthusiasm -- is a killer for Romney for one big reason: There is no sizable pro-Romney movement in this country. There has been a sizable anti-Obama movement.

There are relatively few Republicans deeply in love with Romney. (I except his family, friends and paid staff.)
