For America's future,
The Post endorses Mitt
Romney for president

New York Post, by Editorial Original Article

Posted By: JoniTx- 10/25/2012 7:26:07 PM Post Reply

Four frustratingly long years ago, a war-weary and economically battered America took a flier on a savior. It didn’t work out. Now, in 12 days, the nation will return to the polls — to reject, or to ratify, the results of the great Barack Obama experiment. That is, to reject or to ratify the notion that hoping for change is a sound footing for productive national policy. But, by the evidence, it is not. It cannot create jobs. It cannot reduce deficits. It cannot restore foreign confidence in America

A college freshman was back on his feet Wednesday — a day after a mattress fell 30 stories from a Manhattan building and landed on his head. Jesse Scott Owen, 18, said his sense of humor helped him overcome the neck and back pain he suffered from the futon mattress, which knocked him out cold on Broad St. about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday. “This was the most absurd thing that ever happened to me,” he told the Daily News. Owen, who moved to the city three weeks ago from Florida to attend King’s College in lower Manhattan,

Barack Obama: the 2008 hopemonger

Four years after he was elected as a self-described 'hopemonger' promising a new post-partisan era, President Barack Obama is trying to claw his way to re-election with an ugly, divisive campaign in which he is playing the role of fearmonger-in-chief. On a chilling Wednesday evening in a Las Vegas park, Obama spoke to a raucous gathering of some 13,000 – more than twice the number his opponent Mitt Romney had attracted a few days earlier but a far cry from the crowds of 2008 when he was swept into office with a seven-point victory over Senator John McCain.

The nanny was found on the bathroom floor with self-inflicted stab wounds.

ATLANTA -- U.S. Marshals say they have arrested 51-year-old Floyd Palmer at Macy's at Lenox Square. Palmer is accused of shooting a church volunteer at point blank range at World Changers Church International Wednesday morning. Officers went through Palmer's home Wednesday afternoon looking for evidence. They returned overnight with a bomb squad over concern for what turned out to be a homemade alarm system. Investigators said Palmer entered a chapel on the church's campus and started shooting. Palmer is a former church employee; he resigned in August of this year, according to Fulton County spokeswoman Kay Lester.

Romney Hits the 50 Percent

Mitt Romney has seized further advantage on economic issues at the core of the 2012 campaign, taking him to 50 percent support among likely voters vs. 47 percent for Barack Obama – Romney’s highest vote-preference result of the contest to date. The difference between the two candidates is within the margin of sampling error in the latest ABC News/Washington Post daily tracking poll, and their individual support levels have not significantly changed. But the momentum on underlying issues and attributes is Romney’s. See PDF with full results and charts here.

STOCKHOLM — Another royal wedding beckons in Europe: This time it is Sweden's Princess Madeleine who is getting ready to tie the knot. Madeleine and her U.S.-British boyfriend Christopher O'Neill announced their engagement on the royal palace website on Thursday. The 30-year-old Madeleine is the youngest of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia's three children and is fourth in line to the throne. The tabloid Expressen reported early Thursday that O'Neill, a 38-year-old financier she met in New York, had proposed to the princess, and the couple confirmed the news in a brief video clip posted on the royal website.

The British government rejected U.S. requests to use military bases in the United Kingdom as part of a build-up in the Gulf, citing legal concerns that a pre-emptive strike on Iran would violate international law, The Guardian reported. Citing unnamed U.K. officials, the Guardian reported that the United States has made informal requests for access to British bases in Cypress and British territories in the Atlantic and Indian oceans as part of contingency planning for Iran. But British ministers have responded with legal advice from the U.K. attorney general’s office that says Iran does not currently represent “a clear

President Barack Obama was asked for photo identification before he could cast his ballot Thursday in Chicago. Obama voted at 4:20 p.m. local time, “punching his choices into a touch-screen machine after signing forms and showing his driver’s license,” according to the White House press pool report. “Now ignore the fact that there’s no gray hair on that picture,” he told the elections official. “I’m just glad I renewed my driver’s license.”

Post-ABC tracking poll:
Romney 50 percent, Obama 47

Republican Mitt Romney has edged ahead of President Obama in the new Washington Post-ABC News national tracking poll, with the challenger winning 50 percent of likely voters for the first time in the campaign. As Romney hits 50, the president stands at 47 percent, his lowest tally in Post-ABC polling since before the national party conventions. A three-point edge gives Romney his first apparent advantage in the national popular vote, but it is not one that is statistically significant with a conventional level of 95 percent confidence. Results from the tracking poll were first released Monday

Former Joe Biden aide
writes angry tell-all

Adding another wild-card to the 2012 campaign’s final days, a former aide to Vice President Joe Biden has written a tell-all Washington memoir in which he lacerates the former Delaware senator as an “egomaniacal autocrat” who was “determined to manage his staff through fear.” The book is hardly an objective study of the vice president, however. Author Jeff Connaughton, a Biden Senate staffer turned lobbyist, is by his own admission deeply disillusioned with the capital and embittered about his experience with the man who inspired him to enter politics.

President Barack Obama today returned to the South Side and cast an early vote near his Kenwood home. While at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Bronzeville, Obama bantered with the election judge when he presented his ID. "Now ignore the fact that there's no gray hair on that picture," the Democratic president told the elections official. He added: "I'm just glad I renewed my driver's license." Obama then made a pitch for early voting that was clearly aimed at voters in states where the outcome will be tighter than in his home state.

Electoral College Update

American Thinker, by Pete Wilson Original Article

I believe that Mitt Romney will win on November 6th. The alternative is too ghastly to contemplate. I'm encouraged by the polls, as reported in Rick Moran's blog post, "Romney has lead in all 4 major tracking polls." These polls however don't address the electoral college vote. A friend argued recently that Romney would win the popular vote but still lose the electoral college. I had a moment's panic, but I was reassured by the latest Rasmussen Electoral College Scoreboard.

A family in Woodstock, Georgia, learned a difficult lesson about the dangers of posting an online advertisement. The Vercher family, who recently lost their home of 20 years to foreclosure, posted an ad on Craigslist on Tuesday night, informing people that a yard-sale-style giveaway would take place at their home the following day. (Snip) Michael Vercher thinks the wording of the Craigslist ad may have confused people. It read, in part, as follows: "Fairly large, free yard sale. Moving and we want everything to go for free.

CINCINNATI — With 12 days left until the election, Mitt Romney began offering the outlines of a closing argument here that co-opts President Obama’s message from four years ago, repeatedly promising to deliver “big change” at a moment of “big challenges” and calling his opponent a guardian of the status quo. Mr. Romney, who has narrowed Mr. Obama’s lead in state and national polls, started a bus tour across Ohio by casting himself and his running mate, Representative Paul D. Ryan, as reformers prepared to correct America’s course, by reining in debts, salvaging Medicare and reducing taxes.

My friend and hero Paul Wellstone died 10 years ago this week. I miss him. And so does pretty much anyone who cares about economic and social justice. Paul was the kind of progressive many of us strive to be -- feisty, fearless, and energetic. When today's progressives remember Paul, they tend to focus on his sheer political courage. Paul was the only senator up for re-election in 2002 to vote against the Iraq War -- a vote he told people he was convinced would cost him his job. (

Al Gore has been mocked relentlessly ever since half-seriously floating the suggestion that President Obama's pathetic performance in the first presidential debate could be chalked up to Denver's high altitude. Now John Kerry feels left out: Asked whether it surprised him that Obama gave such a lackluster performance in his first debate with Romney, Kerry said, “He knows he had a bad night. He just had a bad night. … I personally really do believe that the altitude may have had something to do with it.”

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney not only thought Bain Capital-backed Staples stock was a risky investment, he never exercised all of his options to buy it, according to new testimony that is devastating to Obama backer and celebrity attorney Gloria Allred's bid to use a 1987 divorce and subsequent appeals to torpedo Romney's campaign. A source familiar with the case provided Secrets with testimony from the appeals case in which Romney revealed that he didn't buy all the Staples stock he could because he didn't see it as a sure thing.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) wants President Barack Obama to explain in a public address what administration officials knew and when they knew it before and following a terrorist attack on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya last month that claimed the lives of four Americans. Though Republican presidential challenger Mitt Romney declined to press Obama on the Benghazi attacks during a foreign policy debate Monday night, House Republicans have indicated they are not back down in their search for answers in a pattern of apparent security missteps prior to the attacks and misinformation afterward.

With just two weeks to go until Election Day, the popular vote is, as everyone knows, effectively a dead heat. The Real Clear Politics average has Romney enjoying a 0.9-point advantage. And while the latest Rasmussen numbers give Romney a 4-point edge and he is ahead 5 in Gallup, there are other polls that have Obama leading. In the latest IBD/TIPP poll, for instance, the president is up by 2. But there are two other crucial indicators that show momentum for Mitt.

Washington - Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says the U.S. military did not intervene during the attack on the U.S. Consulate in Libya last month because it was over before the U.S. has sufficient information on which to act. At a news conference, Panetta lamented second-guessing about how the U.S. handled the attack in Benghazi on Sept. 11. He said the U.S. military was prepared to respond but did not do so because it lacked what he called "real-time information." "You don't deploy forces into harm's way without knowing what's going on," Panetta said. "(We) felt we could not put forces
