Read Stuff, You Should

Happy Birthday to the Big Unit, Randy Johnson, 49. Soon to be yet another Giants HOFer.

Getting to the good stuff:

1. David S. Bernstein on the apparent incompetence of Team Romney.

2. A nice Jonathan Chait post about the Clinton years that I overlooked when he wrote it last week. It's really true: Republican anti-Obama stuff may be slightly different in flavor, but it isn't any different in intensity or substance than the anti-Clinton stuff was. Chait is right: non of the major players have any interest in remembering that fact, but it's a fact nonetheless.

3. Amy Fried on why Obama is doing well in Ohio.

4. And Nate Cohn is bullish on Obama's chances based on the early post-convention polling. I remain in the wait-and-see camp, although it's certainly hard to argue that Romney had a good two weeks.
