Gaffes on Campaign Trail

Breitbart's Big Government, by John Nolte Original Article

Two epic gaffes at one campaign stop. First, Vice President Joe Biden told a group of supporters that Paul Ryan "has written a book called The Young Guns with two other members of the House, no these are Republican leaders in the House. You had, unfortunately, the bullets are aimed at you.” Then he lost track of which version of planet Earth he's on and wondered who in the audience had served in our war with Iran. So which is it snorting, cackling, unhinged Slow Joe? Are Romney and Ryan going to "put y'all in chains" or

Not 24 hours after Tuesday's presidential debate, CNN's Jessica Yellin was working the Obama spin on Mitt Romney's "binders full of women" comment. "You know, it made it sound almost like working women are some mail-order product you can order out of colored binders," she ridiculously claimed on Wednesday's Anderson Cooper 360. CNN's White House correspondent played right into the White House talking points. [Video coming soon. Audio here.]here.] "And, you know, there are so many directions you can go.

A 19-year-old Pennsylvania councilman reportedly remains behind bars after allegedly stealing Mitt Romney campaign signs and damaging a farm field. The Express-Times reports that Alburtis Councilman Kyle A. Bower was arraigned Wednesday on charges stemming from the Oct. 3 incidents and sent to Lehigh County Prison. A judge set Bower’s bail at $5,000, but the teenager won’t be released from custody even if he posts it due to a probation violation. Bower, a Democrat less than a year into his first borough council term, is on probation after pleading guilty to escape and stalking

Here's the extended remix of the piece I had in today's print editions previewing tonight's Al Smith Dinner. Look for more coverage this evening! Just two days after trading ferocious attacks during a bare-knuckled Hofstra University debate, President Obama and Mitt Romney will share a New York stage again Thursday night -- but this time, it's all in the name of fun and good works. Former New York Gov. Al Smith never made it to the White House, but the annual charity gala that bears his name has been a can't-miss-it event for presidential hopefuls for 67 years.

Campfire Stories of the
‘Preference Cascade’ That
Haunts Campaigns

When campaign strategists and political analysts go out on camping trips — they do, you know — they end the night by gathering around the campfire and telling stories of a terrifying, unstoppable, voracious and mysterious force that preys on vulnerable political campaigns: the Preference Cascade. “The Preference Cascade only stalks totalitarian regimes,” the skeptics say. “I’ve read Glenn Reynolds’ field reports and eyewitness accounts, about how the Preference Cascade needs a lot of unexpressed emotion to feed upon. ‘A totalitarian regime spends a lot of effort

Firewall in ruins?

Washington Examiner [DC], by Michael Barone Original Article

Posted By: Dreadnought- 10/18/2012 5:00:35 PM Post Reply

Major Garrett at National Journal has a good post-second debate column in which he reports that the Obama campaign seems to have abandoned most of its three-state (Florida-Ohio-Virginia) firewall. Those are the three states with 60 electoral votes—Obama’s weakest 2008 states except for Indiana and North Carolina—which the Obama campaign has been pummeling for months with anti-Romney TV spots. The idea is that if they could hold these three states and all those Obama carried with higher percentages in 2008 Obama would have 332 electoral votes, and could afford to lose a small state here or there.

The word you may be looking for after reading the following is “Wow.” Or something more colorful. North Carolina is looking very good for Team Romney, so good that they’re shifting a key asset to Ohio. The spokesman, Robert Reid, will be moved to Ohio, which is increasingly viewed by both campaigns as the central battleground of the 2012 race. “With the increasingly widening polls in North Carolina, we will continue to allocate resources, including key senior staff, to other states,” said Romney spokeswoman Sarah Pompei. The move comes none too soon. A new poll out

Crowley’s Obama Favoritism Completely

There were so many blatant signs of Obama-favored bias displayed by CNN political correspondent Candy Crowley that one scarcely knows where to begin. Now that the second presidential debate is history – being legitimately called the liveliest presidential debate in history – people are having time to look past the drama and way past the performances to see what actually happened that caused such a difference between Romney’s huge win in the first debate and his extremely narrow win in the second.

The Romney campaign reached another milestone this afternoon. For the first time in the campaign, Romney now leads in RealClearPolitic's electoral map. Previously, Obama had a 10-vote edge, but RCP has now moved North Carolina from toss-up to "lean Romney." Romney now edges Obama 206-201 in the electoral college. The other 131 votes are rated "toss-up." Remember that the Democrats had high expectations for being competitive in North Carolina. They even convened their national convention there, confident

Romney Crushes Obama in Gallup: 52-45%

America's two top pollsters, Gallup and Rasmussen, both increased Romney's lead over Obama in the wake of the second presidential debate. With a one-third post-debate sample, today's Rasmussen has Romney up 49-47% and Gallup's 7-day tracker has Romney up 52-45%. Romney gained a point in both. Most everyone was expecting Gallup to tighten today, including me. And you just know the Democrats and the media prayed to Gaia for a little movement their way. Yesterday, I offered one possible explanation

Why Benghazi Matters

It has taken more than four weeks, but the facts of the assault on the American consulate in Benghazi are slowly emerging. It is now known that on the evening of September 11, 2012, Ambassador Christopher Stevens conducted a scheduled meeting with a Turkish diplomat. At approximately 8:30 PM, the ambassador saw his visitor out the gate. There were no protesters in front of the consulate then, nor did any of the survivors of the attack report the presence of demonstrators prior to the initial assault. Videotapes recovered from the compound show, at least partially, what happened.

This Pew Research Center poll was conducted the weekend after the first debate, but the overview was just released today. It found that Mitt Romney has significantly cut into President Obama’s 15-point lead on foreign policy, and now trails by just four points: The national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Oct. 4-7, 2012 among 1,511 adults, including 1,201 registered voters, finds that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney run about even on most foreign policy issues.

If authentic, CNN’s memo explaining why Candy Crowley permitted President Obama to speak four minutes more than Mitt Romney during Tuesday’s presidential debate is devastating to that network: On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on longer largely because he speaks more slowly. We’re going to do a word count to see whether, as in Denver, Romney actually got more words in even if he talked for a shorter period of time.

Report: Iran Sanctions Have Failed

Economic sanctions on Iran have failed in their “principal objective” of preventing Tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons, according to a nonpartisan study by the Congressional Research Service (CRS). Sanctions “have not stopped Iran from building up its conventional military and missile capabilities, in large part with indigenous skills,” according to the report, which was released earlier this week. (Snip) “Iran is also judged [to be] not complying with U.N. requirements that it halt any weapons shipments outside its borders, particularly with regard to purported Iranian weapons shipments to help the embattled Asad [sic] government in Syria,” the report states.

PARMA, Ohio - Former President Bill Clinton says Republicans have tried to keep the nation's unemployment rate high for political gain. Campaigning in Ohio for President Barack Obama, Clinton says the GOP was "crushed" when the jobless rate fell to 7.8 percent last month. He says Republicans nearly managed to keep it above 8 percent "all the way to the election. But they failed." Clinton didn't say specifically what he thought Republicans had done to try to keep unemployment above 8 percent. The former president also criticized some Republicans who suggested the most recent unemployment figures were rigged.

At a campaign event for Barack Obama's reelection campaign, Bill Clinton said that Mitt Romney's argument "is true, we're not fixed": "Governor Romney's argument is, we're not fixed, so fire him and put me in," said Clinton. "It is true we're not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, I had so much hope four years ago and I don't now, I thought he was going to cry. Because he knows that it's not fixed."

Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Democrat in the Senate, told The Daily Caller that “several” areas of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act could be “improved” and acknowledged that a “bad result” of the law is that companies are cutting workers’ hours to avoid paying for their health insurance. For example, Darden Restaurants, which operates the Olive Garden and Red Lobster restaurants, is reportedly limiting employees’ hours due to the health care law’s regulations on businesses.

Tripoli, Libya - Medical officials say clashes between pro-government militias and fighters in a former stronghold of the late Libyan leader, Moammar Gadhafi, have killed at least six people. The officials said Thursday that nearly 80 people also have wounded in the fighting that began Wednesday in Bani Walid, some 140 kilometers (90 miles) southeast of Tripoli. The town was the last to fall to revolutionary fighters during Libya's civil war last year. But residents later expelled government forces and the town has since remained outside of state control.
