Game of Numbers

Obama is ahead, a little bit.
The script is very simple; here it goes:
The edge is not significant.  The woes
Of joblessness, and war, and deficit
Are pulling, even now, and will again
Return Barack Obama to a place
Too far behind the Romney team, a race
That’s running with integrity.  The men
In Democratic circles are the same:
“Hooray, we’ve got a bump, and it’ll last.
We’ve gotten all the voters seeing past
The multitude of issues we can name,
But never do.”  It’s numbers, folks.  You choose
To run a race with them, and you will lose.
