Waiting for a blowout election
to settle the dust for Romney

Washington Times, by Wesley Pruden Original Article

Posted By: Maryland_Patriot- 10/23/2012 1:01:13 PM Post Reply

Barring a really major blunder — such as revealing that he was born in Lower Volta or endorsing interspecies marriage (the next big civil rights issue) — this election is beginning to look like it’s Mitt Romney’s to lose. On the morning after the third and mercifully last presidential debate, nearly all the major polls show the race tied or Mr. Romney narrowly ahead. The Gallup poll, the oldest such, dating from 1936, shows a Romney lead of 6 percentage points, well outside the margin of error.

McCain: Obama’s Sarcasm
“Inappropriate” and “Unpresidential”

Commentary Magazine, by Alana Goodman Original Article

Sen. John McCain blasted President Obama’s “horses and bayonets” zinger as “unpresidential” on a conference call this morning, saying it showed a “lack of maturity.” “I don’t know why the president of the United States feels it’s necessary to denigrate and insult his opponent,” said McCain. “It’s not only bad taste, and, frankly, inappropriate for a president of the United States, but it’s also wrong.” Obama said last night that America’s shrinking Navy isn’t a concern, because “we also have fewer horses and bayonets, because the nature of our military’s changed.”

Delray Beach, Fla. – President Obama’s campaign has begun pushing a more positive closing argument for the campaign’s final days, releasing a plan to try and detail what a second Obama term would look like.(snip)There are no new proposals in the plan Obama is touting; it is a repackaging of proposals he has been offering on the campaign trail for months, such as plans to use half the savings from winding down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for domestic infrastructure investment; create incentives for companies to bring jobs back to the United States

Mitt Romney is more than holding his own with Barack Obama tonight. Only two other challengers have done as well debating foreign policy with an incumbent president—Ronald Reagan (snip) [and] Bill Clinton against George H.W. Bush in 1992. Reagan and Clinton won. Romney is now on track to becoming the third challenger to win in the last 32 years—and the first in 80 years to defeat an incumbent who didn't have a primary challenge. Tonight, Romney seems as fully capable as—probably more capable than—Barack Obama of being the next president. He probably will be.

President Barack Obama startled Washington during Monday night's foreign policy debate when he said billions in automatic Pentagon cuts “will not happen" — a line that could weaken his bargaining power during an epic spending and tax fight expected when Congress returns. (Snip) "I was astonished, I almost fell out of my chair when the president said, 'Don't worry, sequestration won't happen.' We've been begging the president to sit down with us to avoid what his own secretary of defense said would be a devastating blow to our national security.

Scientists warn the planet is facing a global climate crisis that could result in unprecedented sea-level rise, drought and food shortages. But you wouldn’t know it from listening to the presidential debates. Neither President Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney mentioned the words climate change or global warming during three presidential debates that spanned more than four hours. And their running mates ignored the issue too. (Snip) The absence of climate change talk has made waves in the environmental community, which launched an aggressive campaign to bring the issue to the forefront of the debates.

NEW YORK -- It’s a landslide for President Barack Obama—at least among people too young to vote. Nickelodeon’s Linda Ellerbee said Monday that the president captured 65 percent of the vote to beat Republican Mitt Romney in the network’s “Kids Pick the President” vote. More than 520,000 people cast online ballots through the children’s network’s website over one week earlier this month. Since it began in 1988, the kids have presaged the adults’ vote all but once, when more youngsters voted for John Kerry over George W. Bush in 2004.

Chicago taxpayers must pay $78.4 million by Dec. 26 — twice as much as previously anticipated — to compensate nearly 6,000 African-American would-be firefighters bypassed by the city’s discriminatory handling of a 1995 entrance exam, a plaintiff’s attorney disclosed Monday. Last year, the city agreed to hire 111 bypassed black firefighters and pay $30 million to $40 million in damages to about 5,900 others who would never get that chance to comply with a federal judge’s order.

The Civil War was still nine years away when Hamilton County’s oldest continuing court case was filed in 1852 on behalf of a blind Cincinnati banker looking to commemorate his wife and his beliefs. Now, 160 years later, the Probate Court case involving the estate of Ethan Stone is likely coming to a close. And with the case’s end comes a surprising revelation: Some Cincinnati residents, it turns out, don’t own their own land. “My guess is it’s the oldest case in the state of Ohio, possibly in the country, where paperwork has been continuously filed,”

“The high point of that debate for Romney is when he devastatingly leveled the charge of Obama going around the world on ‘an apology tour,’” Charles Krauthammer asserted on the Fox News Channel following Monday night’s third presidential debate. But what Krauthammer saw as so powerful for Mitt Romney, ABC and CNN tried to discredit based on the flimsy reasoning that Obama didn’t use the word “apologize.” ABC’s Jonathan Karl insisted: “The President didn’t apologize for America...there’s no way you could really call it ‘an apology tour.’”

The Final Debate

Mitt Romney has nothing really coherent or substantive to say about domestic policy, but at least he can sound energetic and confident about it. On foreign policy, the subject of Monday night’s final presidential debate, he had little coherent to say and often sounded completely lost. That’s because he has no original ideas of substance on most world issues, including Syria, Iran and Afghanistan.During the debate, on issue after issue, Mr. Romney sounded as if he had read the boldfaced headings in a briefing book — or a freshman global history

Over five million new jobs, exports up forty one percent, home values rising, our auto industry back and our heroes are coming home," says Obama in the new ad, amid images of American workers and charts touting his economic record.

We look at these debates principally when it comes to effecting our vote at the attitude, tone and sense of the debate and we also look at it in terms of the specifics of the debate. Tonight it looks like while Gov. Romney may have "lost" the debate, he looked like a Commander in Chief and presented himself in a presidential way with the president's tone being much too aggressive and petulant and oftentimes times downright nasty. The tone of the debate and how you present yourself matters a lot.

Presidential Debate III was more like “Rocky” Round 16, an afterthought where neither boxer really lands a clean punch on the other and where the crowd has dozed off or gone to bed. Only in the land of MSNBC were sparks flying. Famously tingly MSNBC host Chris Matthews decided the whole race came down to, well, race. In one of the more outlandish rants of an outlandish career, Matthews said the right hates Obama more than they want to destroy Al Qaeda, according to The Hill. The rant is too priceless to edit: “I think they hate Obama.

What it says: The ad uses a long clip from Monday’s foreign policy debate, in which Mitt Romney accused President Obama of launching “an apology tour,” of visiting various nations … and criticizing America.” What it means: Romney was more cautious and conciliatory in this debate than he has been in the past. This ad uses one of his more aggressive lines to take the fight back to Obama. The Fact Checker gave the “apology tour” claim Four Pinocchios, saying “the apology tour never happened.”

Conventional political wisdom holds that while presidential incumbents must debate their challengers, the fewer such confrontations the better because they give lesser-known challengers invaluable exposure on the same stage as The Big Guy. But this year incumbent Obama must be thankful there were three debates. The first debate arrived Oct. 3 with many preparing to write the Romney-Ryan ticket's obituary. He had to do well just to stay alive. Romney did better than that.

This would be hilarious if it weren’t so … well, hilarious, really, but in a very sad way. The Barack Obama campaign officially launched in April 2011. They have raised something close to a billion dollars, and they’ve certainly spent almost as much on field offices, GOTV efforts, and tons of campaign advertising. They even created their fantasy of a woman living under Barack Obama’s benevolent governance, “Julia,” that managed to creep out so many women that they have done their best to send Julia to the Island of Misfit Political Mascots.
