Sunday Morning "Talking Heads" Cheat Sheet

George Wenschhof

With six weeks to go until the General Election, the discussion will be all about the status of the presidential election and whether Republicans can gain control of the Senate and Democrats can win a majority in the House.

Former President Bill Clinton is the must see when he appears on CBS "Face the Nation" and CNN "Fareed Zakaria GPS".  His speech at the Democratic convention in Charlotte, North Carolina may have single handedly defined the presidential race better than either of the candidates had to date.  As a result, President Obama has surged in front of Mitt Romney in the national points by as many as 7 points and is leading in all of the swing states except for North Carolina.

Romney did not help himself following the Democratic convention with ill advised statements in regard to the tregic deaths of the U.S. Ambassador to Libya and three other Americans.  Further damaging Romney's image was the release of the video where Mitt Romney made a critical statement concerning 47% of Americans being dependent on government and that they would be the ones voting for President Obama.

For Mitt Romney, time is running out to define himself and the three presidential debates in October loom large for him.  If, Romney is unable to score well during the three debates and minus some unforseen international or domestic incident taking place in the next six weeks which could influence voters, President Obama could win big.
