I heard a regular news commentator state that the advantage in the Presidential election, in his opinion, seems to lie with Romney.

Yesterday, Obummer complained that Romney is going to out-earn him on campaign contributions.

Today, a poll found that Romney had leaped to a 5 point lead in Virginia. Virginia was solidly in Obama's camp in 2008. It now joins North Carolina as a blue-state turned red. Obama cannot afford to lose very many of these at all. Since the electoral votes are all-or-nothing by state, a few additional states going Republican completely changes the election.

The Democratic convention seems to be coming apart at the seams. It usually provides a big boost to the nominee.

And candidates around the country are distancing themselves from Obama. This is what happens when folks don't want to be associated with a LOSER.

It's easy to see where the momentum lies.

John Barrow, the Georgia Democrat, looks to be following the lead of Claire McCaskill of Missouri, and Joe Manchin and Earl Ray Tomblin of West Virginia and will not be attending the Democratic National Convention. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports:

WASHINGTON — Augusta U.S. Rep. John Barrow will skip the Democratic National Convention in September, adding to a growing list of Democrats distancing themselves from the national party's major quadrennial get-together.

Barrow spokesman Richard Carbo said Tuesday that Barrow is not going to Charlotte because he is "planning a number of events throughout [the] district during that time."

Barrow is in his fourth term and faces a difficult re-election test in a district newly redrawn to lean Republican. He moved from Savannah to Augusta this year to remain in the reshaped 12th District.

Barrow is the National Republican Congressional Committee's top target for 2012 and may be the most endangered House Democrat of the year.
