I've recently spent a lot of time talking with top Republicans, virtually all of whom think Obama has it won. One or two said, wistfully, "What about the Whitey tape, maybe that would change it?" Of course, there is no Whitey tape.

It's all negative all the time now in the TV ad wars. For once, Obama has stolen a march on McCain in the campaign hit parade. And his attack strategy seems to be much more on the axis of decision for this election.

So, you think it looks really good for Barack Obama. Well, maybe so. Yet, Obama can still lose this. Though I'm not planning to head over to Vegas to shoot craps (John McCain's favorite) on that deal.

Newman was one of the biggest stars in the history of movies, equally adept at playing the hero and the anti-hero.

This is an attempted reboot in a losing scenario. McCain has been all over the lot on the financial crisis. He is a staunch deregulationist, at a moment in history in which it is clear that that approach has failed.

In a political crisis, Team McCain moves to change the subject and stay away from what may be unfriendly issues and instead switches back to a negative focus on Obama's personality and image.

This anti-government faction after months of insisting on closing the state's chronic budget deficit with cuts alone -- succeeded in blocking honest tax increases proposed by Democrats and Governor Schwarzenegger.

I'm reminded of the strategies of the legendary coach of the 49ers, Bill Walsh -- analyze your opponent. Find a vulnerability. And attack that vulnerability. Ruthlessly and repeatedly.

What a bizarre week for Obama to mount a counter-programming effort. He has the RNC and Hurricanes Gustav and Sarah. It's going pretty well for him -- not that he has all that much to do with it.

As the 44th President said, many times, no leader can function by himself. And in particular, 44 made one brilliant appointment: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The last week of TV ad wars were really the ADD wars, with both McCain and Obama launching and swapping out TV ads so quickly they couldn't possibly have had any impact in actual paid airings.

Arnold's executive order laying off 10,000 state employees -- and slashing another 200,000 paychecks --is insulting because the budget crisis we're in is largely his fault.
