Rove says Romney is winning
Rove: For Romney, Even Means Ahead

Mr. Romney and his campaign have also raised their game. After Mr. Obama declared on July 13 that "If you've got a business, you didn't build that," Mr. Romney went on offense, saying the following Tuesday in Pennsylvania that the notion entrepreneurs didn't build their businesses was "insulting." Wednesday in Ohio, Mr. Romney attacked Mr. Obama for not having met with his Jobs Council for six months. Thursday in Massachusetts, Mr. Romney belittled the White House's explanation that the president had failed to do so because he "has a lot on his plate." The following Tuesday in Nevada before the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mr. Romney criticized Mr. Obama over cuts in defense and veterans care.
Each time, Mr. Romney's message was delivered in the morning and dominated the day's coverage. That change appears now to be standard procedure for Team Romney.
[font color = red]Uh Karl...nothing has dominated the news like Romney's tax returns[/font]
Mr. Romney also began running more positive ads. [font color = red]Really?[/font] The election will not be won just by highlighting Mr. Obama's failures, a job better left (mostly) to outside groups. [font color = red]= Rove $$$[/font] Because it can put the candidate on camera, the Romney campaign is better positioned to reassure voters that he has a plan to create jobs, reduce spending, and make America more prosperous. This is vital, since both sides have pushed up their opponent's negative ratings to the high-40s.
That's why Team Romney appears focused on making certain his first presidential decision—picking a running mate—is done right and rolled out properly.
[font color = red]That should have been ready to go and done 3 weeks ago to get rid of the "TAX" problem[/font]
There's likely to be a modest, short-lived bump in Mr. Romney's polls after his convention speech. Ignore that. [font color = red] We will! [/font]In this close election, the real benefit will be in the impression, information and values that remain with swing voters who'll make up their minds late and decide the election.
[font color = red] "impression" ??? really Karl you expose your core game and have nothing else to offer....other than making money off a bad campaign? [/font]

Rove's genius is overrated. He's a two-bit hustler.
