Will women decide who wins the White House?
It's a routine headline. Women tend to be the decision-makers when it comes to household economic decisions. They're feeling the pinch in their purses and they're paying attention. Women are also slightly more reliable voters than men.
What does this all mean? Expect to see both President Obama and Mitt Romney pull out all of their smoothest moves to woo women.
So what does Mitt Romney have to do this fall to actually occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?
Three things: First of all, he needs to make sure he makes no flubs whatsoever. Secondly, he needs to have flawless debate performances. And finally he needs to increase his likability quotient.
Ann Romney tried to do that this week, along with others, but are voters going to go for it or not? Only time will tell.
When Bill Clinton told people, “I feel your pain,” it worked.
Chris Christie’s speech Tuesday night at the GOP Convention would have been a homerun if he were some typical politician. The problem is that he’s Chris Christie and that means people expect a lot. They want to be entertained. They want the passion. They want the chutzpah.

The Brody File was on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" this morning here in Tampa talking about Ted Cruz and the Tea Party. Watch below.
It's me, Joe, Mika, Chuck Todd, David Gregory, and former New York Gov. George Pataki.
It’s been fascinating to watch the media look fascinated over the rise of Ted Cruz this week at the GOP Republican Convention. Indeed, it is quite a story but there is an aspect of their coverage that bares their cluelessness.
Tea Party activists had been hard at work for months working to get Cruz in the position he is in today. Tea Party leaders saw his star potential a year ago before the mainstream media caught on.
I am not Catholic or Anglican or any other denomination that makes use of a cathedral, but I love an old church wherever I can find one – Jerusalem, Italy, London – anywhere at all. I live in daily horror of the big-box warehouse-looking monstrosities that pass as modern American churches today. Whenever I dare to say that out loud, I get the inevitable lecture about the church being the people, not the building. Yeah, yeah. I get that.
This was my first trip to Vienna, and after three days, I fell 90% in love with the city. I also fell 10% in irritation. If you ask Vienna how it enjoyed my stay, that ratio may be a little different. Here's why.
