My personal musings about anything that gets on my radar screen--heavily dominated by politics.

Just This

This is, at this point, all I think you need to know about this election. Polls don't matter, the rhetoric is pointless, and the fact that the Dems are still shooting at each other is key. The President is sitting on a huge war chest, and when the time is right he will unleash his considerable resources on whomever the left eventually puts up.

The one thing that the delay in joining the fight has forced: this will undoubtably be a gruesomely negative campaign. I hope the President's team is thinking in terms of two phases: kill the enemy, then sell yourself as the good. Kind of a '"Morning in America" after you've killed the burglar in your home' style of campaign.
