The Daily Caller, by Jeff Poor Original Article

A shorter version of MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski this morning with regards to the Hurricane Sandy’s impact on the presidential election: This is all great for President Barack Obama. In a joint appearance with her “Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough telecasted on both MSNBC and on NBC’s “Today” on Monday, the two pointed to various reasons why the storm helps Obama in his reelection bid against Republican nominee Mitt Romney. “[M]itt Romney had momentum,” Scarborough said. “You look at Ohio, an Ohio poll that came out had them deadlocked, a Minnesota poll, three.

Los Angeles Daily News
Endorses Romney

Breitbart's Big Journalism, by Michael Patrick Leahy Original Article

On Saturday the Daily News, the second largest daily newspaper in the metropolitan Los Angeles area, endorsed Mitt Romney for President in 2012. In 2008 the Daily News endorsed Barack Obama: FOUR years ago, as America faced serious trouble at home and abroad, this news organization embraced the need for bold change to a different brand of leadership and endorsed Barack Obama for president. That assessment of the depth of the nation's problems and the most promising solution was correct in 2008. Regrettably, it applies no less in 2012, after nearly a full term of Obama's administration.

During a weekend press gaggle aboard Air Force One, White House reporters were naturally concerned about Hurricane Sandy and questioned the White House Press staff about the president’s hurricane preparations. But one reporter was anxious to know if they were prepared for Mitt Romney. “Are you worried about the possible politicization of the storm response?” the reporter asked. “We’re a week out from the election. Governor Romney might say something about how you guys are responding to it or going to rallies and that stuff.” “Well, I don’t want to predict what Governor Romney may or may not say,”

Last night as many were getting last minute preparations together for superstorm Sandy when Bill Clinton said the following at a campaign event in Ohio: "We're coming down to the 11th hour. We're facing a violent storm," Clinton said. He waited a beat, then added, "It's nothing compared to the storm we'll face if you don't make the right decision in this election." But don't worry folks, the White House press pool already has the "possible politicizing" of Sandy by Mitt Romney, covered: During a weekend press gaggle aboard Air Force One, White House reporters were

Mitt Romney’s super PAC, Restore our Future, is launching an 11th-hour ad blitz in Pennsylvania, POLITICO has learned. ROF is going up Tuesday with a $2.1 million ad buy across every Pennsylvania market, including pricey Philadelphia. The group will air a spot, “New Normal,” that lashes President Obama on the economy and is already up in other parts of the country. The late push for Pennsylvania comes as some internal GOP polling has shown the always-elusive Keystone State to be within a few points.

Early Voting Is Getting Ridiculous - Thread Closed

Imagine a rule in your family which says you can open your Christmas gift any time from November 20 to December 25. Or, how about being told you can open your birthday present any time from 35 days before your birthday until your birthday. It’s more than kind of ridiculous on several levels. Now, this early voting trend that is sweeping the country is getting as ridiculous as being gifted for Christmas or one’s birthday 35 days in advance. Naturally, there is much “shifty” benefit for the Democrats since they’re pushing for it.

The winner of the U.S. presidential election will have an opportunity to remake law enforcement with his choices for two top jobs - attorney general and FBI director - which could become vacant within months of each other in 2013. Attorney General Eric Holder has not publicly ruled out serving at least part of a second term if President Barack Obama wins re-election on November 6 and wants to keep him in place. Obama was to have filled the FBI job in 2011 but postponed the appointment, persuading Congress to extend the term of

The Media Research Center is out with the latest edition of our Notable Quotables newsletter, a compilation of the most outrageous, sometimes humorous, quotes from the liberal meda. This week's lowlights: Liberal pundits insist that the unfolding details of Obama's incompetent handling of the September 11 attack in Benghazi is an "utterly contrived" story, an "October Mirage." The ever-wacky Chris Matthews is even sticking with Team Obama's now discredited first response: "Everybody knows it's about the video. It's all about the video."

Why Our Forces Were Told

To understand what went wrong in the Benghazi mission, it’s important to begin by looking at what was so unique about it. When the Islamist mobs began their September 11 rampage, they found embassies with high walls, heavy security and police protection. Even in Tunis and Cairo, where the Arab Spring Islamist regimes have been accused of collaborating with their fellow Salafists, there were credible military and police forces capable of preventing the kind of full scale assault that took place in Benghazi.

SULLIVAN, Ind. — Police say thieves swiped about 100 campaign signs for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney from yards in a southwestern Indiana county. Sullivan County sheriff's Lt. Jerry Mize says the signs were taken from spots around the county between late Friday and early Saturday. Mize tells the Sullivan Daily Times that political signs have been stolen around the county before, but not on this scale. One of the signs was taken from the home of county Republican chairman Bill Springer. He says the thefts had to be well planned and involve more than one person

Early briefings on Libya

Two days after the deadly Libya terror attack, representatives of the FBI and National Counterterrorism Center gave Capitol Hill briefings in which they said the evidence supported an Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda-affiliated attack, Fox News has learned. The description of the attack by those in the Sept. 13 briefings stands in stark contrast to the now controversial briefing on Capitol Hill by CIA Director David Petraeus the following day -- and raises even more questions about why Petraeus described the attack as tied to a demonstration. The Sept. 13 assessment

A new book from filmmaker Oliver Stone offers a scathing critique of President Barack Obama’s time in office. Stone, who wrote “The Untold History of the United States” with historian Peter Kuznick, puts forth a liberal interpretation of American history from the turn of the last century to present day. The 618-page book, slated for release Tuesday - a week before Election Day - from Gallery Books, slams Republicans and Democrats alike, and the authors’ assessment of Obama’s presidency is tinged with disappointment. “The country Obama inherited was indeed in shambles,

President Obama fired back at critics who have accused his administration of orchestrating a cover up over the September attacks in Libya. “I do take offense with some suggestion that in any way, we haven’t tried to make sure that the American people knew as the information was coming in what we believed," Obama told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" in an interview that aired Monday. In the aftermath of the attacks that killed four Americans, the administration initially sought to blame the deaths on a riot sparked by an anti-Muslim video in their public statements.

From Townhall Magazine's November feature, "Fox Hunt," by Dan Gainor: President Obama’s sensitive personality leaves him highly affected by criticism. The president, who talks about himself so often that pundits use an “I” chart to track his speeches, made an anti-Fox strategy part of his White House’s agenda, according to Edward Klein’s “The Amateur.” Klein quoted Politics Daily columnist Peter Wehner, who said Obama is “thin-skinned”: “The president is constantly complaining about what others are saying about him. He is upset at Fox News, and conservative talk radio, and Republicans, and people carrying unflattering posters of him.”

Yesterday Mitt Romney pulled level in Ohio. “A late surge by Mitt Romney has made the contest between him and President Obama to win Ohio too close to call”, screamed Fox News. “Presidential Poll sees dead heat in Ohio”, announced the rather more measured UPI wire story. “Romney, Obama Tied in New Ohio poll”, said the Wall Street Journal, with characteristic hyperbole. Somewhat surprised at this dramatic turn of events, I immediately logged on to the internet to see what lay behind the reversal of fortune in the Buckeye state. And promptly found it was rubbish.

What more does anyone need to know than that Americans are under attack before ordering a military response to suppress the attack and possibly rescue our people? Even if the initial response isn't exactly what you'd want it to be, even if you don't have every asset available that you might in a perfect world, isn't it your duty -- whether you're a lowly second lieutenant or the Secretary of Defense -- to do everything you can as quickly as you can?

In the history of presidential elections, has there ever been such an effort by one side to poll their way to victory? While the Republicans have spoken this season about jobs and debt--willing themselves to a moral victory--the Democrats have talked constantly about how well their guy is polling in one or two states. The goal is to create a sense of inevitability, to convince the public to vote for Obama because he’s a winner and who wouldn’t want to vote for the winner? We’ve witnessed the evolution of polling from an objective gauge of the public mood
