When desperation strikes incumbents

Hot Air, by Ed Morrissey Original Article

Posted By: Photoonist- 10/20/2012 5:14:53 PM Post Reply

It’s been a while since we’ve had an incumbent President lose an election. In fact, it was 20 years ago, when George H. W. Bush lost in a three-way fight to Bill Clinton. What made that election remarkable was that Bush had enjoyed some of the best-ever job approval ratings (Snip) Bush abandoned that in the final week in schoolyard name-calling. That’s not why Bush lost the election, of course. It was, however, the moment that I knew he’d lost it — and was pretty sure he knew he was losing, too. Keep that in mind when you hear Barack Obama on the stump talking about “Romnesia.”

NRA Mobilizing Voters In Swing States

The National Rifle Association (NRA) is seizing upon President Barack Obama's comments about wanting to reintroduce the so-called "assault weapons ban" during last Tuesday's town hall to mobilize voters in some of the nation's most important swing states. According to the Star-Telegram, the NRA Political Victory Fund has deployed 25 paid organizers to 13 states including battleground states like Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Wisconsin, Virginia and Nevada. (Snip) During the debate, Obama said as part of the broader conversation about reducing gun violence, it must include "seeing if we can get

Senators to Obama: Stop the Leaks

Republican lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee are warning the Obama administration against leaking classified information as it seeks to bolster its national security bona fides in the wake of a deadly attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya that left four Americans dead. The intelligence leaks could jeopardize American efforts to capture or kill those responsible for the raid that killed Ambassador Christopher Stevens, the lawmakers wrote Friday in a letter to the Obama administration and its national security officials. ''We are troubled that administration officials appear to be publicly

Each year, Minnesota government schools close for two days (just before the weekend, of course) so teachers’ union members can gather at a conference organized by their union. It’s meant to “inspire teachers,” EAGnews.org reported, and the conference includes a session titled, “Using Persona Dolls to Promote Social Emotional Intelligence and Acceptance of Diversity.” (Snip) “An expert panel will present information on teaching about Islam in the context of social studies and world religion.

The latest Gravis Marketing poll conducted in Ohio shows Governor Romney and President Obama locked in a virtual dead heat, 47% to 47%. Here are a few key findings from the survey: Romney leads by 6 percentage points among men (50 to 44 percent), while Obama leads by 4 percentage points among women (49 to 45 percent). Both sides are doing well to consolidate their bases in Ohio. 87 percent of Democrats say they will vote for President Obama and 92 percent of Republicans say they will vote for Governor Romney if the election were held today.

Women describe circumstances
that led to abortion

CHICAGO- They say they were using birth control, but it failed. One woman would have had the baby but the man she was in a relationship with didn't want her to. Another was having an affair with a married man and viewed a pregnancy as unthinkable. A third woman's health would be at risk if she continued her pregnancy. Nearly 1 million women have abortions in the U.S. each year. What leads them to that choice? "There's this false idea that certain types of women have abortions and different types of women have babies," says bioethicist and gynecologist Dr. Lisa Harris.

WSJ Circles Wagons:
Blames Benghazi-Gate

It appears Obama surrogates in the mainstream media are circling the wagons in the days leading up to the Oct. 22 foreign policy debate. Case in point -- the Wall Street Journal's Oct 18 report providing a smokescreen for U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice. Written in a way that admits the Obama administration's story did change, the report creates a caveat by suggesting the change wasn't official until weeks after Rice appeared Sunday news shows to blame the Benghazi attack on a YouTube video. Moreover, the WSJ report pins the changing story on the intelligence community, thereby protecting Obama

Six Afghan policemen have been killed after an officer and a cook turned on them in Helmand, officials say. The cook had tried to poison the men at a checkpoint in Gereshk district on Friday, said officials. He and another policeman then shot two of their colleagues dead. The other four were killed by insurgents who attacked the checkpoint. It was the latest in a spate of attacks by Afghan security personnel against their local and foreign colleagues.

Washington - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney pledged not to issue “public warnings” to Israel as part of the Middle East policy outlined Friday in response to questions posed by the American Jewish Committee. Both Romney and US President Barack Obama completed the questionnaire, which was posted on the AJC website. “I do not believe that we should be issuing public warnings that create distance between the United States and Israel,” Romney wrote. “Israel does not need public lectures about how to weigh decisions of war and peace. It needs our support.” At several points

Year of the electric car blows a fuse

New York - This year was supposed to be the year of the plug-in car but, as 2012 draws to a close, it looks like the electric car market still isn't fully charged. By the end of 2012, most major automakers will have a plug-in car of some type on the market, but plug-in cars still make up just one tenth of one percent of all cars sold in America. So have automakers gotten ahead of themselves and produced too many? (Snip) Despite their lock on the EV market, the Leaf and Volt are failing to meet Nissan and General Motors' respective sales goals. GM had once hoped to sell 45,000 Volts in 2012,

Obama and His Animus Toward Israel

What does Barack Obama really think about Israel? The evidence makes it obvious; he has contempt for the Jewish State in every way, and his nurturing of Islamist takeovers around the Middle East only adds to the perception that the safety of Israel is not of concern to him. (Snip) How about the repeated efforts by Obama to publicly humiliate Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu? And the time Obama stated that Israel should return to the suicidal pre-1967 borders? Or the elision from the 2012 Democratic platform of some key elements from the 2008 platform, namely that Israel was the

BEIRUT — Angry Sunnis burned tires and blocked roads around Lebanon on Saturday to protest the assassination of a senior Lebanese intelligence official in a bombing widely blamed by the country’s anti-Syrian factions on the government in Damascus. The assassination brought the violence threatening to engulf the region to the heart of Lebanon’s capital after several years of relative calm, heightening fears that the sectarian tensions already aggravated by the Syrian conflict would erupt into outright war.

However else Campaign 2012 is chronicled, there is little doubt it will be remembered as the Year of Debates. Never have candidate debates played as important a role, from the start of the Republican primaries through the general election, as they have in this election. Debates shaped the Republican presidential field during the fall of 2011 and played a critical role in determining the outcome of that contest last winter. Ask Rick Perry, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum about that. The general election debates have shaken up the race and last week provided the most confrontational encounter of the

Winners act like winners. Losers act like losers. And according to members of the same media elite who have spent months protecting him, Barack Obama is now looking like a loser in the closing days of his reelection campaign. This morning, a few members of the elite "Gang of 500," including Time's Mark Halperin, The National Journal's Ron Fournier, ABC's Terry Moran, and Politico's Roger Simon, publicly voiced their disapproval of a campaign they describe as "belittling," "not confident," "peevish" and worse: Terry Moran@TerryMoran - The Obama campaign's tone right now--

Friday's Rasmusssen Reports poll not only found Mitt Romney with a three-point lead (50%-47%) over Obama in Virginia but also with a two-point lead (49%-47%) among women voters. Romney hit the critical 50% mark in Virginia, but it is even more significant that he beats Obama among women voters while the Obama campaign has insisted women voters, especially those in Northern Virginia, would be his greatest firewall.

Miley Cyrus seems to think so. As does Ashley Tisdale, David Guetta, Paris Hilton, Chris Brown, and thousands of others who have joined the site in a matter of days. So what is Pheed? In short, think of it as Twitter, with a business plan.

Al-Qaida in Afghanistan

Kabul, Afghanistan - A diminished but resilient al-Qaida, whose 9/11 attacks drew America into its longest war, is attempting a comeback in Afghanistan's mountainous east even as U.S. and allied forces wind down their combat mission and concede a small but steady toehold to the terrorist group. That concerns U.S. commanders, who have intensified strikes against al-Qaida cells in recent months. It also undercuts an Obama administration narrative portraying al-Qaida as battered to the point of being a nonissue in Afghanistan as Western troops start leaving.

**Gallup Shock** Romney

While we were all enjoying the ride while it lasted, I don't know of anyone who expected Romney to still hold a six-point, 51-45%, lead in the Gallup poll when today's numbers rolled in. But he did. This is the fifth day in a row where Romney's been at 50 or above and the fourth day in a row he's been ahead of Obama by six points or more. Lefties are comforting themselves with the fact that for right now this is an outlier poll -- which is true -- but a steady outlier with the name Gallup on it is my mind of outlier. Romney supporters still need to prepare themselves, though, for a tightening before election day.

United Nations-affiliated election monitors from Europe and central Asia will be at polling places around the U.S. looking for voter suppression activities by conservative groups, a concern raised by civil rights groups during a meeting this week. The intervention has drawn criticism from a prominent conservative-leaning group combating election fraud.

Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre released a new video this week calling on the government to classify the November 2009 shooting as a terrorist attack rather than "workplace violence," a change that would make them eligible for specific combat-related benefits. In the video, uploaded on YouTube Wednesday, witnesses to the shooting, some of whom were wounded in the attack, voiced their frustration with the government's labeling of the attack in which 13 people died and 32 others were wounded in a shooting rampage allegedly carried out by a fellow soldier, Maj. Nidal Hasan.

For the first time, Gov. Romney has moved into the lead in Real Clear Politics' projection of the electoral votes. The national polls now range from Obama +3 to Romney +7 with an average of Romney +1. President Obama's once unstoppable reelection effort has not only stumbled, it is collapsing in key states, with the Obama campaign reportedly releasing assets from North Carolina and cutting ad buys in Florida. So I can see why the Democrats are in the middle of a group freak-out. But behaving like ninnies will do them no good. If I could get voters to believe

Florida - Mitt Romney mocked President Barack Obama Friday for his "petty attacks" on the Republican challenger, saying the incumbent was playing word games instead of justifying his bid for a second term. Romney took the stage in the political battleground of Florida, quickly berating Obama for comments early Friday when he branded his rival an untrustworthy flip-flopper suffering from "Romnesia". "They've been reduced to petty attacks and silly word games," Romney told a crowd of more than 8,500 people at the Daytona Beach Bandshell, as the two candidates stumped for votes just 18 days

Us Magazine had a little tidbit of gossip when it discovered who made Ann Romney's and Michelle Obama's hot pink dresses worn to the recent presidential debate. In its headline Us blares that Ann Romney's dress cost "$1,690." But Michelle Obama's ensemble was priced at $3,290 despite the silence of the headline. Us gives the world the following headline: "Ann Romney Wears $1,690 Oscar de la Renta Dress to Presidential Debate."

The Navy took control of a Swedish ship carrying pro-Palestinian activists towards Gaza on Saturday, and towed the vessel to Ashdod instead. The activists refused all Israeli requests to divert their course, and had declared that their intention was to violate Israel's naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. "When those onboard made it clear they had no intention of cooperating or accepting the invitation to arrive at Ashdod Port, it was decided to take control of the ship and bring it to Ashdod," the IDF said. Navy commandos took over the Estelle without the use of force, and offered the
