Anonymous reports coming out of the Middle East indicate President Obama may be planning military action to take place in the days before the U.S. presidential election. Certain individuals currently deployed in various U.S. land, sea, and/or air missions in the Middle East are indicating they've heard about possibilities that could take place one to two days before the election: perhaps against Iran, perhaps elsewhere in the Middle East. These individuals have no idea what might be coming, but some of them indicate receiving upgraded clearances and travel documents that will allow them to move

Britain 'is creating jobs faster than US'
and may soon exit longest double-dip
recession since the Second World War

Daily Mail [UK], by Ben Griffiths Original Article

The economy is expected to return to growth this week as figures suggested Britain is creating jobs at a faster rate than the United States. If predictions prove correct, the end of the longest double-dip recession since the Second World War will be a much-needed boost to Chancellor George Osborne. It comes just days after employment figures reached an all-time high. The total number of those in work has risen by 1.75 per cent, or 510,000 jobs, in the past year to 29.59million – the highest since records began in 1971, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Hollywood can be a lonely

LOS ANGELES — They sometimes feel like the loneliest people in Hollywood, biting their tongues on set and meeting behind closed doors. They are Mitt Romney supporters in an industry famous for its lefty leanings and overrun with A-list Democrats — from George Clooney, Eva Longoria and Scarlett Johansson to director Steven Spielberg and studio chief Jeffrey Katzenberg. Some have made speeches on Romney’s behalf, but most are reluctant to stand up and be counted as the election draws near. “There’s a quiet group of people in Hollywood who are meeting and growing and supporting Gov. Romney.

Two weeks after dropping strong hints he might want a third term as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Rep. Pete Sessions (Texas) not only ruled it out, but last week, made it clear he was supporting the colleague who has long wanted the campaign post. The next NRCC chairman will be Oregon Rep. Greg Walden, a strong conservative and close ally of both Sessions and House Speaker John Boehner. Sessions, whose spokesman said he was only “jesting” when he told POLITICO that he might seek a third term at the NRCC helm, has signaled he wants to

Mitt Romney has been there before: entering a third, crucial debate in a topsy-turvy contest. Ten years ago, he battled Democrat Shannon O’Brien in his bid to land the open governor’s job in Massachusetts. On Monday, he’ll face off against President Obama in the final showdown before the November vote. The circumstances are strangely similar: Going into that last debate in Massachusetts, Romney had eroded O’Brien’s lead but had to make up for a few bad moments in the second. The final confrontation, on Oct. 29, 2002, was his last opportunity to dominate the race. And he seized it,

Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi dismissed a recent report by the New York Times alleging that Tehran and Washington are slated to hold direct talks in November, stressing that there will be no talks between the two countries. Speaking to reporters in a joint press conference with Central Africa's Foreign Minister Antoine Gambi in Tehran on Sunday, Salehi dismissed the New York Times report, and reiterated, "We do not have anything called negotiations with the US."

Mitt Romney’s toughest debate

Politico, by Jim Vandehei and Mike Allen Original Article

Mitt Romney has a clear-eyed and self-aware view of his chances in the final debate Monday, according to top advisers: It will be almost impossible to win, since the debate is focused exclusively on foreign policy, a strength for President Barack Obama. (Snip) Even if Romney does bring his A game, Obama joked last week about his debate strategy for winning the showdown in Florida: “Spoiler alert: We got bin Laden.” It’s not a joke that he said it, or that he uses that conquest to maximum political advantage in debates and speeches to show strength and achievement.

Huge al-Qaeda attack
foiled, says Jordan

Telegraph [UK], by Kadhim Shubber & Adrian Blomfeld Original Article

Jordan claims to have thwarted one of the largest terrorist attacks ever planned in the Middle East after foiling an al-Qaeda plot to kill diplomats and detonate a series of bombs in Amman. Ending a four-month surveillance operation, the Jordanian intelligence service arrested 11 suspected militants with links to al-Qaeda. Officials in Amman said the suspects had aimed to dwarf the bombing of three hotels in the city in 2005, an attack that claimed more than 60 lives. Using arms smuggled in from Syria, the militants aimed to bring death and destruction across the capital, according to Jordan's General Intelligence

In today's highly polarized political environment it is somewhat surprising to find voters who backed John McCain in 2008 and now support President Barack Obama, but they exist. Roughly 5 percent of respondents in Reuters/Ipsos polls said they chose the Republican contender in 2008 and will switch to Obama in 2012. This number peaked at around 9 percent two separate times over the summer, according to data collected since January. Who are these defectors? Jeff Waltrip, 56, is a retired electrician and retail worker who has voted Republican all his life. But in his view Obama

As such an result would likely extend their time in the sun by several weeks, the political talking class has become fixated on the prospect of a “split decision” on Election Day. This scenario encompasses two different outcomes: One in which a candidate wins the electoral vote while the other wins the popular vote, and one wherein both candidates get 269 of the 538 votes in the Electoral College. (Snip) The New York Times polling guru Nate Silver has used his model to predict a 0.4 percent chance that the race ends in an Electoral College tie, but says Mitt

Bill Clinton is supposed to be the secret weapon in this race. The Oxford draft dodging grad who can appeal to working Americans because he has a Southern accent. The problem is that Bill also has a history of melting down during campaigns. Clinton’s incredible campaigning abilities have been largely overstated. Clinton won two presidential elections against ridiculously weak Republican candidates who barely showed up. That’s also how he became Governor of Arkansas. He blew the 2008 primaries and now he’s beginning to melt down all over again.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday denied knowledge of an agreement in principle for direct talks between the US and Iran, but said any such talks – if they did take place – would only be used by Iran to buy time. “Israel doesn’t know about these contacts and I can’t confirm that they’ve actually taken place,” Netanyahu said, adding that in talks Tehran has held with the P5+1 – the US, China, Russia, Germany, Britain and France – Iran dragged its feet to gain time and advance its nuclear program. “In the last year alone, in the course

It hasn’t been a good weekend for the President. The NBC/WSJ poll, released earlier today, shows the race tied at 47 percent. ... The latest Gallup poll has Romney up 7 points, 52-45. NRO hears that the latest attempt by the President’s team to check Romney’s momentum will come via a years-old video in which Romney sounds more conciliatory toward the PRC. Romney, of course, will be portrayed as a flip-flopper. It will be another instance of “Romnesia.”

Jeruslem - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday he didn't know about any U.S. plans to talk bilaterally with Iran, saying tougher sanctions and a "credible military option" were the best ways to peacefully halt Tehran's nuclear program. The White House had earlier denied a New York Times report that Washington and Tehran had agreed in principle to hold bilateral negotiations to halt what the West fears is a plan by the Islamic Republic to develop nuclear weapons. Addressing reporters at a civil defense drill to rehearse for a possible earthquake, Netanyahu accused Iran of having used talks

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Sunday, October 21, 2012

Rasmussen Reports, by Staff Original Article

Posted By: earlybird- 10/21/2012 7:23:35 PM Post Reply

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. One percent (1%) prefers some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided. See daily tracking history. These numbers are unchanged from the morning of the second presidential debate. They suggest that the president’s stronger performance in that debate stopped his slide in the polls but did not regain lost ground. The first debate had a bigger impact, changing the race from a two-point Obama advantage to a two-point Romney edge.

Mitt Romney continues to out-poll every winning presidential challenger since 1968. The latest Gallup daily tracking poll of likely voters has Mr. Romney leading Barack Obama by seven points, 52% to 45%. Mr. Romney’s total is greater than Richard Nixon’s 44% at this point in the race in 1968, Jimmy Carter’s 49% in 1976, Ronald Reagan’s hard to believe 39% in 1980 (Carter was ahead with 45%), George H. W. Bush’s 50% in 1988, and Bill Clinton’s 40% in 1992. In 2000 and 2008 George W. Bush and Barack Obama both tracked at a within-error 51%.

AMMAN, Jordan Jordanian authorities have arrested 11 suspected al Qaeda-linked militants for allegedly planning to attack shopping malls and Western diplomatic missions in the country, the government said Sunday. The plot is the first to be unveiled since a triple hotel bombing in Amman almost seven years ago, which killed 60 people. Al Qaeda claimed responsibility for the attack, citing its rejection of Jordan's alliance with the United States and its 1994 peace treaty with Israel. Jordanian officials and Arab diplomats have been voicing concern over stability in the kingdom, which lies at a precarious corner

A reader points out that this South Park clip (warning: it may be prefaced by an Obama ad) bears an uncanny resemblance to the Obama administration’s response to the Benghazi attack: “It’s as if this was written as a guideline for the Obama administration.” http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/155213/sand-idea And over at InstaPundit, Glenn Reynolds reminds us: Anti-Muslim filmmaker detained for almost a month…next court date three days after election.” I’m afraid reality has gone somewhere south of South Park.

Since Friday evening, when I reported that the national race was virtually tied, and that President Obama’s firewall in the electoral college was just about holding up, there have been a couple of significant developments. Mitt Romney has sustained his momentum in the national polls, and in the pivotal state of Ohio he appears to have made up more ground. I don’t think either of these things alters the basic picture I presented in my previous post, but clearly they represent more alarm bells for Democrats. I’ll deal briefly with each in turn: National Polls:

One day out from their last debate, Republican Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama are cramming foreign policy and taking a rare break from swing-state campaigning. The latest NBC-Wall Street Journal poll has the two candidates in a dead heat, with both Obama and Romney claiming 47 per cent of respondents. Monday's face-off in Boca Raton, Florida, represents one of the last major opportunities for Obama and Romney to capture the attention of millions of voters - especially that small but sought-after group of voters who haven't yet made up their minds.
