With the GOP Super Pacs attacking President Obama from this way to Sunday Romney should be up by 20%

But yet Gallup has them dead even.

Is that a good or bad sign?

1. All the money in the world can't sell a bum product. Think John Connally, Meg Whitman, New Coke. . .

I can't imagine what the house races are going to look like come the Sept-Oct crunch.

6. Reuters Poll - Obama expands lead on Romney, voters more optimistic

WASHINGTON | Wed Jul 11, 2012 3:35am IST

(Reuters) - President Barack Obama expanded his lead over Republican challenger Mitt Romney to 6 percentage points in the White House race this month as voters became slightly more optimistic about the economy, a Reuters/Ipsos poll showed on Tuesday.

Four months before the November 6 election, Obama leads Romney among registered voters 49 percent to 43 percent. In June, Obama held a slim 1-point lead over the former Massachusetts governor.

Obama's improved standing was fueled in part by a slight rise in optimism about the future, with the number of Americans who think the country is on the wrong track dropping 5 percentage points to 58 percent.

Obama's approval ratings ticked up 1 point to 48 percent and the number of Americans who disapprove of his job performance dropped 3 percentage points to 47 percent.

7. Meg Whitman Is A Very Good Comparison

Republicans flocked to her because she was "electable" and was going to dump millions into the California race. Indeed, early in the summer before the 2010 election, Whitman was looking like she was going to beat Jerry Brown. She was spending so much money that she was able to run pro-immigration robo-calls in Hispanic neighborhoods and anti-immigration robo-calls in Republican areas. Yet, in the end, she lost to Jerry Brown.

My take was that at a certain point the airwaves were saturated with pro-Whitman, anti-Brown attacks from Meg Whitman, but she never really offered a realistic explanation of how she was going to cut taxes without dramatically cutting spending for things like education or increasing borrowing. Californians kept on waiting for an explanation how how she was going to pull off this miracule she proposed, yet all she offered was GOP platitudes about cutting waste and small government.

The Presidential election will definitely be tougher, since California is generally a blue state. Still, if Romney continues to try play the Meg Whitman card of "Vote for Me! Tax Cuts But No Cuts To Programs You Care For!" People will start to see that what he says does not make sense and is internally inconsistent.
