Obama should step up a gear on some of the anti Mitt stuph, to get GOP as divided as possible.
And to keep the GOP in fighting going.

Mittens still got the most cash by far.
Got Fox in his pocket.
Got GOP elite in his pocket.

If Mittens does poorly, others will get more donors.
More donors to others mean more attack ads on each other.

More donors to others means Mittens has to spend more cash on fighting other GOP.
War chest lower for fight with O.
Bankers bonuses have been significantly reduced.
They r moaning about lack of cash. Poor souls. My heart bleeds - not.
They r not bottomless pits.
