Oh, dear. Poor Davey seems to have his creepy briefs in a spin-tastic, panic-stricken twist. Polls are turning, newspaper endorsements are flipping. But he has “cold, hard data.” At high noon. Or something.

Always what you say when no one else can see the data: @davidaxelrod "We're winning this race…We base it on cold, hard data." #hewitt

"I don’t want to be ambiguous about this at all," David Axelrod says. "We’re winning this race.” So there you have it.

“@edhenryTV: Axelrod flatly states: "We are winning this race"” HAHAHAHAHA, wishful thinking, @davidaxelrod! #RomneyRyan2012

If that is true, why r u campaigning in MINNESOTA!! RT @markknoller: Obama Campaign strategist David Axelrod says "we're winning this race"

Hey @davidaxelrod when you have to say "We're winning" it usually means you're losing. Badly.

Could the tidal wave of newspaper endorsements for Mitt Romney, including the Des Moines Register, have anything to do with it, perhaps? Shockingly, he didn’t parrot Stephanie Cutter’s line about the Des Moines Register not being based in reality. Cutter’s reality is in Bizarro world, evidently.

But, wait! Guess what? Obama might totally win Massachusetts! David Axelrod and other members of Team Obama up the stompy foot idiocy by breathlessly touting The Boston Globe as an arbiter of who is winning. No, for reals! They are actually bitterly clinging to The Boston Globe.

And what about the battleground state Ohio?
Rasmussen: Ohio – Romney 50%, Obama 48%.
That sound you hear is the Obama campaign imploding.

— Hair (@SHannitysHair) October 29, 2012
That’s right. As Twitchy reported, Rasmussen now has Romney at 50 and Obama at 48 in Ohio.
Axelrod: "In just eight days, we'll know who's bluffing."
— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) October 29, 2012
Yes, we will. On the plus side, Axelrod, the egg on your face may cover that unfortunate mustache.
