Trick or Treat With Kids

Paul Ryan combined the campaign trail with dad duty this evening taking his three young children trick or treating on Halloween using the same route he and his brothers took as children in their hometown. His 10-year-old daughter, Liza was dressed as singer Katy Perry, while Ryan's 9-year-old son Charlie was the Unknown Phantom, and 7-year-old Sam was the Grim Reaper. Liza--dressed as a G rated version of the famous Obama supporter who recently performed at a fundraiser for the president --wore the performer's signature blue hair, a rainbow headband and outfit to match

Who can fix political gridlock?
Poll favors Romney

WASHINGTON- Just about everybody agrees Washington is a gridlocked mess. But who's the man to fix it? After two years of brawling and brinkmanship between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, more voters trust Mitt Romney to break the stalemate, an Associated Press-GfK poll shows. Romney's message - a vote for Obama is a vote for more gridlock - seems to be getting through. Almost half of likely voters, 47 percent, think the Republican challenger would be better at ending the logjam, compared with 37 percent for Obama. With the race charging into its final week, Romney is pushing

Romney forces see Pennsylvania,

After a season dominated by talk of Ohio, Virginia and Florida, Campaign 2012 suddenly shifted focus to a new trio of states Wednesday amid a new verbal battle about which candidate is better positioned to win on Tuesday. The new geographic front in the political war focuses on Pennsylvania, Michigan and Minnesota, three states that have backed Democrats dating back at least to 1988 but which Republicans say are ripe for GOP nominee Mitt Romney in his challenge to President Obama. Republican super PACs have been advertising in those states for some time, and Romney’s campaign

In Ohio, Romney’s ads

PERRYSBURG, Ohio — For more than 35 years, Earl Danforth worked as a tool engineer at a GM plant in Toledo, the kind of plant the Obama administration’s auto bailout is supposed to have rescued. But Danforth may be exactly the kind of voter targeted by a controversial anti-auto-bailout ad from Mitt Romney running on radio and television in the northwest corner of this battleground state. It’s not that Danforth’s undecided. (“As far as I’m concerned, Obama’s nothing but a liar, a cheater,” he said.) It’s that Danforth hasn’t voted yet. And that makes him a prized target

Obama’s campaign goes

“It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know he is not a great man.” — Calvin Coolidge Energetic in body but indolent in mind, Barack Obama in his frenetic campaigning for a second term is promising to replicate his first term, although simply apologizing would be appropriate. His long campaign’s bilious tone — scurrilities about Mitt Romney as a monster of, at best, callous indifference; adolescent japes about “Romnesia” — is discordant coming from someone who has favorably compared his achievements to those

One of France’s poorest regions will soon become the focal point of major Chinese investment in Europe, after regional authorities signed a landmark agreement in Shanghai this week. The department of Moselle in northeastern France will soon host a mammoth business exhibition centre, which will act as a platform for Chinese investment across Europe. Leaders of the department of Moselle were in Shanghai on Monday to put pen to paper on a deal, that will see up to 2,000 Chinese companies represented at the centre from 2014.

Commentators have compared this year’s presidential contest to momentous elections from 1860 to 1980 and everything before, since and in between. The United States has stared down many threats to the Union before, and history would have been much different if Abraham Lincoln hadn’t been elected at the cusp of the Civil War nor Ronald Reagan sent to the White House to win a Cold War America was losing. No previous political season, however, had an incoming president staring ahead to such a long, cold winter as this republic now faces. Deficits and debt are bankrupting

The case against Obama

Four years ago, candidate Barack Obama said voters should look to a president’s policies when deciding whether to re-elect him. “The question of this election is not are you better off than you were four years ago — we all know the answer to that,” he told an Ohio audience. “The real question is will this country be better off four years from now?” In 2008, it was hard to judge what Mr. Obama would do since he had no track record beyond his brief service in the Illinois and U.S. senates. It was easy

The tidal wave of anti-debt, anti-big-government voters that swamped Democrats in the 2010 congressional elections is readying itself again, poised to sweep Mitt Romney into the Oval Office, some political observers say. “It’s very, very likely,” veteran Republican campaign pollster John McLaughlin said, predicting a Romney tsunami Tuesday. “Romney has surged in all the target states,” Mr. McLaughlin said. “The undecided vote is not really undecided. They overwhelmingly disapprove of the job the president

Obama’s endgame:
Hard sell of record,
ridicule of rival

In the homestretch of his final campaign, President Obama has ditched the language of lower expectations once prominent in his stump speech, focusing instead on a repackaged jobs plan and adding a heavy dose of ridicule for Republican rival Mitt Romney. When he embarked on his re-election bid more than a year ago, the president often sounded like he was on a mission to win back liberal supporters in a nonexistent Democratic primary. In his standard campaign speech, Mr. Obama would remind voters of the excitement generated by his candidacy in 2008, and would try to explain in apologetic tones

Redheads at cancer

People with pale skin and red hair may be more prone to developing a deadly form of skin cancer regardless of whether they spend time in the sun or not. Not only is this group more vulnerable to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays, but a study in mice has shown the pigment that gives hair a red hue may in itself have cancer-causing effects, said a paper published on Wednesday in the journal Nature. "We studied melanoma formation in 'redheaded' mice and discovered that the red pigment had an ability to promote melanoma formation, even in the absence of ultraviolet

Two-thirds of jobs go to immigrants

Two-thirds of those who have found employment under President Obama are immigrants, both legal and illegal, according to an analysis that suggests immigration has soaked up a large portion of what little job growth there has been over the past three years. The Center for Immigration Studies is releasing the study Thursday morning, a day ahead of the final Labor Department unemployment report of the campaign season, which is expected to show a sluggish job market more than three years into the economic recovery. That slow market, combined with the immigration numbers

Paris - France's highest court has ordered a retrial of police officers who were cleared of blame in the deaths of two teenagers seven years ago that triggered nationwide rioting. In a ruling that averts possible tension in the grim suburbs ringing many French cities, the court ordered a retrial to fully assess accusations that police failed to rescue two teenagers who fled inside an electrical substation and were electrocuted. (Snip) In Wednesday's ruling, the Cour de Cassation overturned an April 2011 ruling in which two police officers in Clichy-sous-Bois were cleared of failing to rescue the two teenagers.

When he took office as Egypt's new president in June, Mohammed Morsi pledged to follow a pluralist policy that respected the rights of women and non-Muslim minorities. But everything he has done since then indicates that he intends to replace the secularist dictatorship of his predecessor with an Islamist one. Egypt's president sat cross-legged on a green rug with his eyes closed and hands raised in prayer. His lips moved as Futouh Abd al-Nabi Mansour, an influential Egyptian cleric, intoned: "Oh Allah, absolve us of our sins, strengthen us and grant us victory over the infidels. Oh Allah, destroy the

Leadership: After the president rushed back to the White House to watch the Weather Channel, pundits said he acted "presidential" — as if he'd be judged by the last four days and not the last four years. Acting presidential is one thing and being presidential quite another. Touring disaster areas is what every president finds himself doing sometime during his administration. In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, President Obama is doing all the right things, such as telling FEMA to do what it's already tasked to do, even as the sequestration he pushed as part

US military commanders have warned their Israeli counterparts that any action against Iran would severely limit the ability of American forces in the region to mount their own operations against the Iranian nuclear programme by cutting off vital logistical support from Gulf Arab allies. (Snip) Israeli leaders had hinted they might take military action to set back the Iranian programme, but that threat receded in September when the prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, told the United Nations general assembly that Iran's advances in uranium enrichment would only breach Israel's "red line" in spring or summer next year.

It's the afternoon shift change at the Harrison Resources mine, and about 30 miners are heading home after 10 hours shovelling for coal on an exposed hilltop in eastern Ohio. The men are dressed in an unofficial uniform of jeans, T-shirt and hard hat, and they speak in unison, too, when asked about the presidential election, now less than a week away. "Obama's done more damage in the last three years than anyone in the last 50," said Brad Knight. "He and his advisers are a bunch of tree-huggers, east coast and west coast".

Google was yesterday found liable for damages by a jury in Australia after a man complained that the website's search results had harmed his reputation by wrongly linking him to Melbourne gang crime. Milorad Trkulja, 62, was shot by a man wearing a balaclava in 2004, though police did not connect the shooting with gangland crime. (Snip) Searches also displayed an image of Mr Trkulja accompanied by the caption "Melbourne crime", which he says could have led people to believe he had links to the city's underworld. Mr Trkulja also alleged that Google had refused to amend the links when

As the CorruptMedia hyperventilates over the juicery released by Quinnipiac today showing Obama winning all of America's 12,458 electoral votes and Queen for a Day, the one poll they've intentionally ignored is a bombshell from Gallup showing Romney winning early votes by seven points and Obama's early vote advantage collapsing 22-points over 2008. The cover up of this poll was so thorough that when the corrupt Politico did report on Gallup's seven-point early vote advantage for Romney, they did so under a headline that laughably read: "Neither has edge

Peg Rosenfield has been monitoring elections for the League of Women Voters in Ohio for almost 40 years and has seen just about every voting glitch imaginable. She says there's a saying among election workers: "Please, God, make it a landslide." (Snip) No one expects a landslide when Americans go to the polls on Tuesday. As in 2000 and 2004, there is great potential for the race to be too close to call immediately in some states, and the possibility that the presidency will hang for days or weeks on a recount, or on the counting of provisional or late-arriving

I heard Rush Limbaugh comment on this report from the Associated Press's Thomas Beaumont and Brian Bakst ("Romney, GOP suddenly plunging onto Democratic turf") this afternoon on his program. This evening, having read the whole, I agree with him (which of course often happens) that the AP writer are very upset that GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney and his campaign are going after Pennsylvania and Minnesota -- so upset that they're throwing any kind of speculative nonsense they can conjure up to explain away its obvious significance, namely that Team Romney believes they can pick up even more electoral

According to a new poll from Franklin and Marshall, Mitt Romney is just four percentage points behind President Barack Obama … in Pennsylvania. In September, that gap was a full nine points. “Momentum is with Romney,” says poll director Terry Madonna. Madonna thinks that Romney may run out of time to make up that deficit. But the internals of the poll are shocking for Obama. Romney is ahead of Obama in terms of who the public believes can best fix the economy. (Snip) this is a D+13 poll. That’s out of line, since Obama only won the state in 2008

Water is everywhere in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy – in basements, on the streets and in transit systems – but the one place that flood water is most dangerous is in your body. ABC News chief health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser collected floodwater and drinking water in some of the areas hit hardest by Sandy and had them tested at The Ambient Group lab. The floodwater collected in Lower Manhattan tested positive for gasoline and two types of bacteria found in sewage: E. coli and coliform. “Very dangerous,” Besser said.
