On Sept. 11, 2012, just two hours after the State Department first began notifying government agencies back in Washington--including the White House--that the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi was under attack by armed men, State sent out an email that went to at least two people in the White House that said the group Ansar al-Sharia had claimed responsibility for the attack. (Snip) Among the addresses of those who received this email are two that include the tag "@nss.eop.gov," a White House email address. "EOP" stands for "Executive Office of the President."

Boca Raton, Fla. - On an electoral map that still poses challenges for Mitt Romney, one heartening trend for the Republican nominee can be found in Florida, whose 29 electoral votes constitute the largest prize among the battleground states. In recent weeks, the Sunshine State has moved clearly in Romney's direction. After President Obama led in every Florida poll released in the second half of September, Romney has been ahead in nine of the last 10 surveys conducted, leading his opponent by 1.8 percent in the latest RCP Average of polls here.

Color North Carolina light red. CNN is moving its classification of the swing state from true "toss up" to "lean Romney." Four years ago then Sen. Barack Obama became the first Democrat since 1976 to carry North Carolina in a presidential election. And this summer the Democrats held their nominating convention in Charlotte. While the Obama campaign continues to run ads in North Carolina, spending just over $1.2 million to run spots over the past week, according to Campaign Media Analysis Group, which tracks ad spending for CNN, the president hasn't made a campaign stop in the state since his

How Bill Clinton May

Campaign

When the histories of the 2012 campaign are written, much will be made of Bill Clinton's re-emergence. His convention speech may well have marked the finest moment of President Obama's re-election campaign, and his ads on the president's behalf were memorable. But there is one crucial way in which the 42nd president may not have served the 44th quite as well. In these final weeks before the election, Mr. Clinton's expert advice about how to beat Mitt Romney is starting to look suspect. You may recall that last spring, just after Mr. Romney locked up the Republican nomination,

For several months, the U.S. government has been urging the Iraqi government to stop Iran from supplying arms to the Syrian regime through commercial flights over Iraqi airspace, but a larger amount of supplies is now crossing Iraq via convoys on the ground, Iraq's exiled Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi told The Cable. Hashimi has been living in Turkey following his indictment and subsequent conviction in absentia by Iraqi government courts that he says are working with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. The Central Criminal Court of Iraq sentenced him to death last month for allegedly participating in acts

Men better multi-taskers

Working mothers may have to juggle more tasks than their husbands, but the long-held belief that women are better than men at multi-tasking is a myth, according to new Swedish research. "On the contrary, the results of our study show that men are better at multi-tasking than women," Timo Mäntylä, a psychology professor at Stockholm University, said. Men are sometimes better than women at handling multiple tasks simultaneously, but the performance gap is correlated to the female menstrual cycle, according to his study, to be published in US peer-reviewed journal Psychological Science. In line with previous research, men and women

Romney Takes Lead on
Economy; White Men are
the Movers

ABC News, by Gary Langer Original Article

Mitt Romney has advanced to a slight lead over Barack Obama in trust to handle the economy, and Obama has slipped beneath a clear majority in who better understands the public’s economic problems – two key metrics of the 2012 presidential race. These trends in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll aren’t strong enough to change current preferences, nor is the 2-1 view that Obama won Monday night’s final debate. But they’re among the underlying dynamics making the race seem closer now than a month ago. The candidates remain essentially tied, with 49 percent of likely voters for Romney,

Several early voters in Guilford County, NC hoping to cast a ballot for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney had an unwelcome surprise Monday when their votes showed up as a vote for President Barack Obama. The complaints came from voters who cast their ballot at the Bur-Mil Park polling site in Guilford, MyFox8 reported Tuesday night. While election officials say the problem is a mere glitch, a couple voters were rattled. Sher Coromalis, who had to try three times to have her vote for Romney count, told the local Fox affiliate that the experience was upsetting.

On Dennis Miller’s Wednesday radio show, Miller and his guest, Ann Coulter, offered their assessments of MSNBC host Chris Matthews’ latest round of antics, including his unexpectedly critical review of President Barack Obama’s first debate performance. Miller suggested that Matthews’ ego played a role in his breathless coverage. “I can’t believe that Chris Matthews is such an egocentric character, that he couldn’t see that he literally became the town crier on the death knell of Barack Obama’s presidency, when he came out that night and so needs to be the center of it

Washington – Seven new charges have been filed against Floyd Lee Corkins II, the Virginia man accused of shooting a security guard at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., in August, including one count of committing an act of terrorism while armed. A federal grand jury Wednesday returned a superseding indictment that lists the six new charges, including attempted murder while armed, aggravated assault while armed, second-degree burglary while armed, and three counts of possession of a firearm during a crime of violence. The decision marks the first time that a defendant has been charged with committing

MSNBC host Chris Matthews may not have tried his hand at being a politician — but he’s confident he would have excelled at it, and said as much in an interview with Philadelphia Style magazine. “He would have preferred a political career,” the interview notes. Indeed, at 28, Matthews was unsuccessful in his attempt to represent Pennsylvania’s 4th Congressional District in the House of Representatives. Years later, in 2009, “the hankering was still there,” as Matthews considered making a bid for Arlen Specter‘s Senate seat, eventually deciding against it.

Sources say counterterror chief

Congressional sources tell Fox News that a top administration counterterrorism official was reprimanded by the White House last month after he testified that the Sept. 11 attack in Libya was terrorism. The White House and the official are pushing back on the claim. But the allegation would appear to raise questions about recent administration statements that they were labeling the attack terrorism from the start. Sources told Fox News that, in fact, the White House was unhappy with Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, after his Sept. 19 comments, and told him to tone it

Romney on Iran’s
‘Route to the Sea’

Why focus on the realities of terror-sponsoring rogue regimes, when you can mock Gov. Mitt Romney instead? After Monday night’s Obama-Romney foreign policy debate, the Washington Post’s Al Kamen is having fun deriding Romney’s description of Syria as Iran’s “route to the sea.” In commentary posted beneath a map of the Middle East, Kamen writes that “the fact-checkers went wild.” He notes, more in derision than in sorrow, that Romney has said this before, and “We had tried ever so hard back in February to get Romney to stop saying that.”

Why didn't President

The truth about what happened in Benghazi–and when President Obama knew i –could have a huge impact on the closing days of this campaign. Turns out the White House, the State Department and the FBI were all told two hours after the September 11 attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi that an Islamic militant group had claimed responsibility. Two hours.(Snip)This is big. It suggests that the president had reports that very day that the attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans weren't because of some film clip. And yet–we heard just the opposite.

Forget Donald Trump, Romney

Billionaire Donald Trump sent word to all major news agencies yesterday that he had a "very, very big news about POTUS [President of the United States], news that borders on gigantic", to swing the election in Mitt Romney's favour. But at this stage Mitt Romney does not need any help from Donald "You are fired!" Trump to win. He can carry the ball past the goal line on his own. Who would have thought a month ago that the candidate once ridiculed by the press as "the second-place front-runner" would be in a dead-heat with the incumbent president?

Rock Center - In the midst of 48 hours of non-stop campaigning in crucial swing states, President Barack Obama said that the tightening of the race between he and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney doesn’t surprise him. In an exclusive interview with NBC News’ Brian Williams today, during a campaign stop in Davenport, Iowa, the president said that he never believed that the excitement surrounding his historic election four years ago and the achievement of taking out al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden would inflate his likelihood of re-election.

The campaign has not asked Mourdock to pull a TV ad featuring Romney. Romney campaign spokeswoman Andrea Saul said Wednesday Romney disagrees with Mourdock's opposition to abortion in cases of rape and incest. But she says Romney still supports Mourdock's bid.

The Obama Campaign, that strange 4-year marriage of Generation X hipsters, inner city bosses, suburban college educated boomers longing for racial healing, Big Green businessmen and shady Saudis, appears to be finally sinking beneath the waves. It isn’t going out in a blaze of glory, but with mumbles of trending topics. Obama was always a petty man and his campaign has descended into pointless pettiness, into Team Big Bird, binders full of women and bayonets and horses. Like so much hipster culture,

With some national polls showing a steady Mitt Romney rise over President Obama, House Republican strategists are junking their fears that Democrats could net 10-15 seats on Election Day and now predict they could win eight-12 more seats in a big Romney victory. Strategists told Secrets that GOP pollsters are seeing big gains in rural areas and states like Nevada, North Carolina and Colorado ever since Romney won his first debate with President Obama. "It certainly is plausible now," said a GOP official of grabbing a dozen seats from Democrats. What's more, a solid Romney victory could help

The freshly appointed chairman of a federal investigation into the Benghazi massacre is an apologist for Islamic terrorism who has a cozy relationship with Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.

Pickering, was poised to participate in a panel discussion at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., on “what role the faith community can play in fighting Islamophobia.”

Palestinians fired a total of 80 rockets at rural areas of southern Israel since Tuesday night, injuring five, causing damage and sending local residents fleeing for cover. The Iron Dome missile defense system successfully intercepted a Grad rocket over Ashkelon Wednesday afternoon, one of eight struck down since Tuesday night. IAF strikes targeting Palestinian rocket-launching squads killed four Hamas operatives, but did little to stem the flow of rockets. Hamas's armed wing, the Al-Qassam brigades, took responsibility Wednesday for a barrage of rockets unleashed against Israel since Tuesday night as well as the bomb that critically injured an IDF officer
