"Money, media, momentum &amp;#x2013; today&amp;apos;s campaign 2012 roundup has it all.\r\n&amp;#x2022; President Obama hit the road to talk up his jobs plan in the must-win battleground states of Virginia and North Carolina, where tough economic times have eroded his popularity. [Politico]\r\n&amp;#x2022; For all his troubles, the president still knows from raising money; his campaign had $61 million on hand as of September 30, and has spent more on payroll than several of the GOP contenders combined. [NYT]\r\n&amp;#x2022; Meanwhile, Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have pulled away from the GOP pack in the money primary, having raised $14 million and $17 million in the third quarter. One big difference: Romney&amp;apos;s fundraising numbers are trending up, Perry&amp;apos;s, down. (For comparison: Struggling Newt Gingrich pulled in less than a million.) [NPR]\r\n&amp;#x2022; Obama aide David Axelrod says Herman Cain isn&amp;apos;t a serious contender, saves his energy for dissing Mitt Romney. [Politico]\r\n&amp;#x2022; Herman Cain, for all his &amp;quot;outsider&amp;quot; cred, goes way back with those conservative insiders par excellence the Koch brothers. [AP]\r\n&amp;#x2022; So much for the liberal media: the presidential candidate whose gotten the most consistently negative press in recent months is ... Barack Obama. And by a long way.
