Bob Beckel: It's Over

He doesn't say it's over-over, but he does actually say that if the numbers are right (Gallup's), it's over, and points out the lead is outside the margin of error.

He notes -- again with the caveat "if the numbers are accurate" -- that there is no way an incumbent can push a challenger back below 50%, once he's above it.

Meanwhile -- and this is awesome -- Romney is finally considering advertising in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

CNN is reporting just as I’m writing this that Team Mitt is indeed moving some (but not all) of its assets out of NC.

Update: Reported at the Post, too.

They were already pondering shifting to Pennsylvania, and this was pre-squatch.

More: CAC brought this to my attention, but I didn't post it: ARG has Romney up 1 in Ohio, and up 4 (50-46) in Colorado.

I'm still on Squatch Patrol.

Oh, and Senator Clownfart embarrassed himself again.
