Fox News is running another segment on a black person standing outside of a polling place in Philadelphia.

The brute reality, however, is that Pennsylvania — long fool's gold for desperate Republicans at the end of losing campaigns — is almost certainly out of reach for Romney. Up in Madison, Wisconsin this morning, Obama White House senior adviser and numbers guru David Plouffe argued to me that, given the Democratic registration advantage in the state, for the Republican to win there would require him to score fully 66 percent of independents on Election Day. So why all the money being spent there? The answer is: Why not? Both the Romney campaign and the GOP super-PACs are flush with cash, and given the dearth of advertising inventory in the genuine battleground states, there really is nowhere else (that makes even the slightest sense) to spend it.

The Obama campaign's confidence extends well beyond Pennsylvania. In conversations with an array of top advisers this morning, a clear picture emerged that Chicago believes it has Nevada, Iowa, Wisconsin, and New Hampshire more or less in the bag; that it feels nearly as certain of carrying Ohio; and that Obama is just a tad ahead in Virginia. As for Colorado and Florida, Team Obama believes they are both too close to call, but thinks they could well win both; they are forthrightly pessimistic only about North Carolina among the nine battlegrounds. This could all just be spin, of course — or they could simply be proven wrong. But having known and reported on these people for a solid six years now, my sense of their tone and body language is that their self-assurance is for real.

Ten years ago, Glenn Beck was a really funny guy. When he first came on in Philly (before he became The Great Satan), his show reminded me more of a right-leaning and less perverted Howard Stern than Rush Limbaugh. So Glenn Beck if he still has a sense of humor.

Totally agreed on what his show/shtick used to be. It was on here in Richmond and was enjoyable, even if I often disagreed with him. But now I'm afraid that he actually does see himself as being some type of prophet.

I kind of can't believe I'm saying this, but... Beck. He has a sense of humor, and Morris's voice pretty much makes my skin crawl.

Plus I'd worry about him eating my toes if we were locked in there long enough. I guess this would be true of anyone, really, but where for most it would take days to contemplate cannibalism, ol' Dick might get there within an hour or two.

Yeah, I'm having a hard time imagining a scenario outside of voter fraud where VA goes blue but not Ohio.

If VA goes Obama, Ohio probably won't even matter.
