Huffington Post speculated that Romney might be quietly giving up on Ohio and redoubling his effort in Wisconsin. That's what the ad buy in Minnesota might be about.

Biden here today
Mittens on Monday
Obama on Tuesday
Lyin' Ryan on Wednesday

From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:

"It tells you Wisconsin is in the cross hairs," said Reince Preibus, the Wisconsinite who chairs the Republican National Committee.

"It has settled into a traditional close Wisconsin race," said Robert Kraig, executive director of the liberal advocacy group, Citizen Action of Wisconsin.

It's a concentrated dose of presidential politics reminiscent of the close of the 2004 campaign, when President Bush, Vice President Cheney, and Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards played election tag team here, making back-to-back and sometimes overlapping visits to what turned out to be the closest state in America.

My gut feeling is the President will carry WI. Not by as much as in 2008, but a win is a win. Lots of bumper stickers and yard signs.

I'll predict a 52-48 outcome and hope those shortened coattails are sufficient enough for a Tammy Baldwin Senate win as well.

I'm sure the the good people of Wisconsin are more enthused than what is been reported by lame stream media.
