Might be for the best. I'm about polled-out at this point.

You can bet that both Romney and Obama are full-speed ahead with their internal polling and their actions will show how that is going.

So we have Obama hunkered down in "Rose Garden" mode and Romney's moving resources into PA and MN. I think that tells you all you need to know.

I still remember with much fondness Ronald Reagan's final campaign stop in 1984 in Rochester, Minnesota . . . just in time for the 10 p.m. news in our market.

A shift of 2500 votes would have meant a historic 50 state sweep, but Reagan didn't make an earlier campaign stop because his priority was on electing people downticket.

My wife and I were newlyweds that year. Shortly after our morning whoopie, Dad calls and asks "Did you hear they caught both those guys?"

"Both what guys?" I ask sheepishly.

"Both those guys who voted for Mondale!" chuckled Dad.
