‘Gender Gap’ Near Historic Highs

New York Times, by Nate Silver Original Article

Posted By: StormCnter- 10/22/2012 4:36:26 AM Post Reply

If only women voted, President Obama would be on track for a landslide re-election, equaling or exceeding his margin of victory over John McCain in 2008. Mr. Obama would be an overwhelming favorite in Ohio, Florida, Virginia and most every other place that is conventionally considered a swing state. The only question would be whether he could forge ahead into traditionally red states, like Georgia, Montana and Arizona. If only men voted, Mr. Obama would be biding his time until a crushing defeat at the hands of Mitt Romney, who might win by a similar margin

Should Barack Obama Resign Tonight?

I won’t hear what I’d like to hear at the presidential foreign policy debate Monday. What I’d like to hear is Barack Obama resigning over Benghazi, the most extreme public mishandling of an attack on American personnel ever, certainly in my lifetime. If I (or most people) had been president and something like that happened on my (our) watch — and then I had lied about it myself while urging others to cover up — I would be so ashamed of myself I wouldn’t be able to come out in public. But that’s not what happened. In fact, the reverse occurred.

It’s the sort of window display we have all become accustomed to seeing in the four years of economic stagnation that have marked the Obama presidency: signs exclaiming “30% Off Everything” and “Last Call!” and “Everything must go!” Now those very appeals emblazon the window of a store that as recently as a month ago was the last venue on earth where you would expect to see them. They appear under the heading “Procrastinator alert” at the Obama campaign website.

Last week, Reza Kahlili, a former Revolutionary Guard member wrote that Iran had reached a deal with the Obama Administration to preserve portions of its nuclear program. Hossain Ebrahimi told reporters yesterday that Obama sent the regime a secret message. On Saturday, the Iranian regime confirmed this report. The Iranian regime revealed on Saturday that the Obama Administration sent them a secret message through the Swiss Embassy recognizing their nuclear rights.

Susan Boyle's fairy tale dream

London - She dreamed a dream, and it came true. But what happened next for Susan Boyle? The middle-aged church volunteer from a small town in Scotland became an instant global celebrity in 2009 with her heart-stopping rendition of the "Les Miserables" number "I Dreamed a Dream" on a TV talent show.

In the age of unexpectedly

There is a distinct possibility that we are nearing the end of an age, an age most people are probably not even aware they have been living in: The Age of Unexpectedly. Never heard of it, right? Ah, but therein lies its beauty, the surpassing subtlety of it, as you shall see. It is, of course, as with all historical periods, difficult to pinpoint exactly when it began. Perhaps the earliest sign was a Reuters story dated May 19, 2009, which reported that "new U.S. housing starts and permits unexpectedly fell to record lows in April . . . denting

Rep.Rogers calls latest Libya intel

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said over the weekend that recent disclosures by intelligence officials that once again revise the narrative on what happened during the deadly attack last month in Libya suggest an “orchestrated defense of the administration.” The Michigan Republican congressman did not specify what disclosures he was talking about, but was likely referring to recent news articles downplaying the role of Al Qaeda in the Sept. 11 strike, as well as comments by intelligence officials claiming once again that protests elsewhere over an anti-Islam film may have played a role in inspiring the attack.

Alex almond has said Trident could be relocated to the US or France after independence, as he ruled out the prospect of a “Cyprus-style” leaseback scheme that would see the nuclear weapons system remain in Scotland.

Although conservatives are often disappointed with some of the projects the national Catholic Charities organization puts its money behind, a new endeavor unveiled by the organization’s Chicago chapter last week received prolonged applause on the right. Against a back-drop of scenes of the homeless and inner-city shelters, a new hard-hitting TV spot narrated by actress Cheryl Rhoads points out that Catholic Charities of Chicago is “one of the largest charities that serves the poor, but their services to the poor could be at risk with the $5 million fine that President Obama’s new mandate would force them to pay.” (Snip)

San Diego media baron

SAN DIEGO — The new media barons of America's eighth-largest city are upfront about wanting to use their newspaper to promote their agenda of downtown development and politically conservative causes — and they are making their points in a brash, bare-knuckle style. Douglas Manchester and his partner John Lynch gave their 143-year-old newspaper a new slogan — "The World's Greatest Country & America's Finest City" — ran a front-page editorial that declared their plan to reshape the city's downtown waterfront their highest priority, and forecast doom if President Barack Obama wins re-election.

GM is alive in Defiance, Ohio.

In DEFIANCE, Ohio — For more than 50 years, the economic fate of this tiny town in northwest Ohio has been inextricably linked to the health of General Motors, its largest employer. And so when two local lawyers put up a billboard in the cornfield across from Defiance’s GM plant with a picture of the GM logo above the word “alive” and a photo of Osama bin Laden above the word “dead,” you might have expected nods of approval. Instead, in this deeply conservative corner of the state not far from the Indiana border, the billboard — and two others

Obamacare’s rhetoric vs. its reality

Just recently, the Internal Revenue Service issued an 18-page, single-spaced notice explaining how to distinguish between full-time and part-time workers under the Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”). The difference matters, because the act requires employers with 50 or more full-time workers to provide health insurance for those workers. At the same time, no company has to buy insurance for part-time employees, defined as those working less than 30 hours a week. Here’s a sample: This notice expands the safe harbor method described in a previous notice to provide employers the option to use a look-back measurement

I suspect, although we will know for sure tomorrow night, that President Obama will claim organizational incompetence in connection with acknowledging that the Libya jihadist operation was, well, a planned jihadist operation. The Associated Press reports how quickly confirmation came that this was not a spontaneous mob action. The AP tells us that within 24 hours of the attack “the CIA station chief in Libya reported to Washington that there were eyewitness reports that the attack was carried out by militants.” However, the report continues, “It is unclear

Obama Asks Jeremiah
Wright For Election Help

President Obama is getting so desperate about Romney-trending election polls that he is calling on an old, discarded ally to help his get out the vote effort: Rev. Jeremiah Wright. According to former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown, “If Obama looks as if he's going black, he could turn off white people. So he's largely been lying low on the race issues - visibly pushing for the Latino vote, the gay vote, the women's vote, but not the black vote. But last weekend, he held a conference call with a collection of black preachers that included his old pastor, Jeremiah

Convinced they were outclassed by the Obama campaign’s ground game four years ago, Republican Party officials say they are ringing more doorbells, making more personal phone calls and soliciting more early ballots this year to level the playing field for nominee Mitt Romney. In Ohio, considered the most important state for Mr. Romney and running mate Paul Ryan, Mr. Obama’s 2008 get-out-the-vote effort, backed by union and urban church volunteers, helped him to a 4-point win over Republican John McCain. The Democrats’ ground game also helped the party pick up two congressional seats long held by Republicans and wrested control

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Mitt Romney’s first debate bounce has evaporated and President Obama once again has taken a slim lead in The Washington Times/Zogby Poll released Sunday night — though the survey showed Mr. Romney’s backers are far more energized about him than the president’s backers are about their candidate. Mr. Obama leads 49.7 percent to 47.3 percent over Mr. Romney, the Republican nominee, with 3 percent undecided. Just as striking, however, is that Mr. Obama’s air of inevitability is slipping, with 49 percent saying they expect him to win re-election

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

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.

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.

Two weeks after dropping strong hints he might want a third term as chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, Rep.

Greg Walden, a strong conservative and close ally of both Sessions and House Speaker John Boehner.

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,

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

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
