Glee star Jane Lynch dressed as Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for Halloween. In a pre-recorded Chelsea Lately aired Thursday, Lynch also said her wife was going as Paul Ryan (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary, file photo): Near the end of their interview, host Chelsea Handler said, “Now you’re firmly behind Mitt Romney?” Once Lynch controlled her laughter, she said, “I’m going as him for Halloween.” “Are you?” asked Handler.

Six Enormous Stakes
In Presidential Election

Investor's Business Daily, by IBD Staff Original Article

Every four years, presidential candidates talk about the enormous stakes of the coming election. But this year, it is no mere campaign platitude. In fact, rarely in American history has an election mattered more. The future of ObamaCare, the size and intrusiveness of government, tax rates, America's standing in the world, and the long-term makeup of the Supreme Court all rest on who occupies the White House for the next four years. Here are the stakes, should Obama win a second term:

State House Candidate Brian Banks
Evicted from Harper Woods Homes

Grosse Pointe Patch [MI], by Toni Stinson Original Article

State House candidate Brian Banks may have bigger concerns than getting elected next Tuesday to represent Michigan's 1st District. This past week Banks, 35, was evicted from the second of two homes he leased in Harper Woods and on Wednesday a judgment for $3751 was levied against him after checks he wrote to his landlord bounced. Ira Auslander, attorney for Dan Sylvester, who is the owner of the home Banks rented for his campaign headquarters on Fleetwood Dr., said his client is keeping all his options

Benghazi: The Democratic Party
Will Be Lucky if Obama Loses

Republican New Jersey Governor Chris Christie made an unwise choice the last few days, throwing in with his new-best-friend Barack Obama. The president’s future does not look great, even if he is reelected, and especially if he is reelected while losing the popular vote, as well could happen. As a president who was “selected but not elected,” he we will face a whirlwind more vast and even more enduring than Sandy and that whirlwind’s name is Benghazi. He lied to the American people (and to the world) big time about the cause of the deaths of four

Let’s do a thought experiment. Let’s suppose that Barack Obama gets narrowly re-elected. And then, in a week or a month, the lid blows off the Benghazi story and what is now a trickle of leaks from bureaucrats protecting their butts turns into a flood. The mainstream media that has been so studiously ignoring this story while the election was still to be won or lost will have no choice (and, indeed, every reason) to make it the big story it would have been had it happened on President McCain’s watch. And it turns out that Obama, to protect

Lefty Starbucks CEO

Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced Thursday that he is endorsing Barack Obama for reelection. Big deal. Schultz deviously posed as a moderate in August of 2011, calling for a cessation on campaign donations until both parties could agree on how to deal with the country’s fiscal issues. Some moderate. Take a look at Schultz’s campaign donations, starting in 2007: He hedged his bets in 2007, making sure he backed the winner. He donated $2300 to John Edwards in March, $2300 to Barack Obama in June, and $2300 to Hillary Clinton in October. Schultz was Machiavellian

Chapel Hill Killer
Registered At and Voted

Recent stepped-up voter registration efforts at state mental hospitals and facilities for the developmentally disabled resulted in the registration of Wendell Justin Williamson, who in 1995 killed two people in Chapel Hill and was judged not guilty by reason of insanity. Election records show Williamson, a patient at Central Regional Hospital in Butner, was registered on Sept. 13 as an unaffiliated voter. He cast an absentee ballot that was accepted Oct. 15 by the Granville County Board of Elections.

Why Romney Is Likely to Win

Weekly Standard, by Jay Cost Original Article

When I started making election predictions eight years ago, I had a very different perspective than I do today. I knew relatively little about the history of presidential elections or the geography of American politics. I had a good background in political science and statistics. So, unsurprisingly in retrospect, I focused on drawing confidence intervals from poll averages. Since then, I have learned substantially more history, soured somewhat on political science as an academic discipline, and have become much more skeptical of public opinion polls. Both political science and the political polls too often imply

Statins in new health alert

Millions who take statins to ward off heart attacks and strokes must cut their dose over fears they are at risk of serious side-effects. Statins have been hailed as a wonderdrug which can slash cholesterol and protect against a host of chronic illnesses. But the medicines regulator is concerned that some could suffer agonising muscle problems, lung disorders and kidney damage. It warned that those taking simvastatin in combination with drugs which slash high blood pressure are at risk of the side-effects. Some people should take a lower dose or be moved on to another statin, the Medicines and Healthcare

New Jersey town to Ala. volunteer
utility crew: Don’t help with Sandy

Utility crews from several states East of the Mississippi River hit the road this week to volunteer their time and talents in Northeastern states hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. But crews from Alabama got the shock of their lives when other workers in a coastal New Jersey town told them they couldn’t lend a hand without a union card. Derrick Moore, who works for Decatur Utilities in Decatur, Ala., told WAFF-TV in Huntsville that crews in Seaside Heights, N.J. turned him and his crewmates away, saying they couldn’t do any work there because they’re not union employees..

The Real Choice

WE'RE COMING DOWN to the wire now for the 2012 elections, but if you think that this choice is between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, you haven’t been paying attention. Though this presidential campaign has been broadcast, written, Tweeted, and Facebooked about more than any other in history, it’s not about the personalities involved. Forget about whether you’d want to have beer and cigarettes with Barack or spend time with Mitt doing…whatever he does for fun. The choice is between restoring America or watching our nation become, in perpetuity, a larger version of the beleaguered European Union.

Media Favoritism May Be Hurting Obama

American Spectator, by J.T. Young Original Article

Posted By: garnet- 11/2/2012 6:12:44 AM Post Reply

This election's X-factor may be a gift to Romney from the mainstream media. It is the suppression of public expression of support for him. However, while pre-election polls may not have been fully recording it, Election Day may finally capture Romney's true support level for the first time -- to Obama's ultimate detriment. If this theory of media-suppressed Romney support sounds unlikely, think again. The enormous fluidity of Independents' support has been the hallmark of the last two national elections. In 2008, Obama carried Independents 51% to 43%, en route to a 6.3% popular vote victory margin over McCain.

Most political predictions are made by biased pollsters, pundits or prognosticators who are either rooting for Republicans or Democrats. I am neither. I am a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee and a Vegas oddsmaker with one of the most accurate records of predicting political races. In December I predicted — before a single GOP primary had been held, with Romney trailing for months to almost every GOP competitor from Rick Perry to Herman Cain to Newt — that Romney would easily rout his competition to win the GOP nomination by a landslide. I also predicted the presidential race

Growing up in New York City, I never had much consciousness of it as a coastal city. The beaches are in the farthest-off parts of the outer boroughs, and the population centers in Manhattan and Brooklyn are oriented inward rather than toward the waterfronts. But the devastating flooding of Hurricane Sandy is a powerful reminder that the reason New York was built where it is was take advantage of a good harbor and extensive coastline. And while the city continues to be a relatively unlikely place for a hurricane to make landfall, the combination

Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi headlined a high-dollar fundraiser in May that was attended by U.S.-based Islamist groups and individuals linked by the U.S. government to the Hamas jihad group and to the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood movement. The donors at the undisclosed May 16 event included Nihad Awad, the co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations, according to data provided by the nonpartisan Investigative Project on Terrorism. The CAIR group was named an unindicted conspirator in a 2007 trial of a Hamas money-smuggling group.

So far the administration has attributed its lapses to the “fog of war” and suggestions that only the Tripoli embassy not the Benghazi consulate was deemed vulnerable. Now, from a recent cable, we know that the latter was untrue, and that the only fog of war consisted in a handful of administration spokespeople frantically trying to get their stories straight.

All the final Senate TV ads are in the can, so it’s too late for U.S. Sen. Scott Brown to “hammer” the fake Indian anymore on illegal immigration. Too bad, because if there’s one issue the incumbent is indisputably with the majority on, it’s the scourge of illegal aliens. Like maybe 85 percent of the state, Brown wants to stop handouts to illegal aliens. Granny Warren, not so much. Brown mentions it in a new TV ad, but the problem is that it’s only a mention. In case you haven’t noticed, these days every state is a “border state.”

The burning question is why Obama didn't give orders to defend our consulate and American lives in Benghazi. The answer is becoming clearer each time President Obama and Secretary of Defense Panetta issue a denial or explanation of their inaction. To the president's surprise, he chanced on an honest reporter during a local interview on the campaign trail in Denver. On October 26, for the first time, Obama was asked directly about the explosive reports on CBS and Fox News, a week earlier

Can we pause from our hypomanic poll checkups? Can we stop tweeting about the early vote? Is it possible in the final days of this close election to step back and reflect, if only for a few moments, on the challenges that will face whoever is elected president on Tuesday? I’m as guilty as the next pundit of obsessing over the fight between Mitt Romney and Barack Obama. My nerves are fried. I’ve been freebasing poll crosstabs like an addict. But the fiscal, economic, and foreign policy crises that will likely unfold in the coming months cannot be ignored.

Wall Street does not donate to Barack Obama like it used to, and this striking month-by-month comparison chart from Center for Responsive Politics shows just how much its fallen out of love with the president since the last election. CRP is a non-partisan group that aims to track where money goes in politics. The green line represents donations from 2007-2008, and the blue line represents this year's election. While Obama saw dips in Wall Street donations throughout the 2008 election season, he also saw far greater influxes of cash, particularly closer to Election Day. This time last year, the industry

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers huddle in the dark each night after the most devastating storm in city history — while two massive generators chug away in Central Park and a third sits idle waiting to power a media center during Sunday’s NYC Marathon. Like hell.

Shouldn’t they come first? Shouldn’t the race just be canceled? Damned straight.

Obama administration officials are feeling the pressure to answer some basic questions about their responsibility for what happened September 11 in Benghazi. As has become very clear, the administration doesn't want to answer the questions, such as what the president did and didn't do that evening; what military assets were available and why, if certain ones were available, they weren't deployed; why senior Administration officials claimed subsequently that what happened was a riot caused by a video; and so forth. But stonewalling looks bad. So the administration gave the Washington Post's David Ignatius access to their "timeline,"
