There are 122 days between today and the Republican Convention. That means that, outside a slew of Supreme Court decisions in June, we are facing a drought of presidential political news. No debates. No primaries that matter. Just idle vice presidential speculation that probably won’t get settled until the week before the convention anyway. Both President Obama and Mitt Romney will be desperate for all the free media they can get during this time.

But outside groups are not going to miss this opportunity to seize the microphone. Yesterday, two conservative Super PACs, Americans for Prosperity and American Crossroads both unveiled new anti-Obama ads that are expected to be aired repeatedly in key swing states.
