The Cornerstone: Welcome to the molten core of the political universe, the hottest battleground in the biggest battleground state. Since 1960, Hillsborough County has called every single presidential election except for one—and there’s no reason to think that voters here won’t do it again. http://bit.ly/O78cvh
Michigan Is Looking Rosier to Romney: Mitt Romney spent Tuesday baking pies in DeWitt, just north of Lansing, but his campaign also sent a message to President Obama: Mr. Romney says he believes that Michigan is up for grabs in November, and if nothing else, his campaign plans to force Mr. Obama and the Democrats to spend time and money defending turf that, until recently, seemed safely in the blue. Campaign aides say they believe that Michigan is, in fact, in play for Mr. Romney, who came of age here as the son of an auto executive turned governor of the state. They pointed to his full slate of events here Tuesday, the final swing of a five-day bus tour, as a sign of his seriousness about the state. http://nyti.ms/Lz9eP5
Sunday Shows: Issa on Investigations: 'We're Not Fishing': On the Sunday shows, California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa defended his investigation into the Fast and Furious scandal; Florida GOP Sen. Marco Rubio said he was against using tax reform revenue to lessen the deficit; members of both campaigns agreed on something for once; and Rick Perry called Obama's use of executive privilege to protect documents from Issa's investigation "Nixonian." http://bit.ly/MPmXf1
Henninger: It's a Single-Issue Election: The terms on which the 2012 U.S. election will be contested have been set, appropriately by the incumbent president speaking recently at a community college in Ohio. Mr. President, the microphone is yours: "Yes, foreign policy matters. Social issues matter. But more than anything else, this election presents a choice between two fundamentally different visions of how to create strong, sustained growth." http://on.wsj.com/LDS6I0
