KERRY ONLY ONE POINT AHEAD OF BUSH IN CALIFORNIA? If California is in play, Kerry's in big trouble.

(Via Roger Simon, who has more -- and here, via Roger's comment section, is an analysis arguing that anti-Bush pile-ons by the media are the reason. Maybe so, or maybe Kerry's just a weak candidate with a badly run campaign. Or maybe both.)

UPDATE: Jeff Jacoby writes on the pictures we see and the pictures we don't.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Capt. Ed thinks it's the Arnold effect.

And reader Sam Michael has advice for Bush: "He should stay out of California and let Arnold do the talking for him there."
