Here's the one and only rule of politics, courtesy of a terrific politician in Nevada named Richard Bryan. He said, "There are two ways to run for office: unopposed or scared."

Pol Potbelly really is virtually unopposed in the republican race. Biden may be unopposed NOW for the Democratic nomination, but always, always, always run scared.

And remember: at this point in 2011, Mitt Rmoney was guaranteed to be the next president.

As Willie Brown put it, run like you're ten points down regardless of any polls, until the real polls close, then celebrate.

Love Pol Potbelly. Rupert, Elon, and their ilk have changed this race like none other in history. Goebbels could not have done better.
