| This week it was announced that Mormon supporters of Mitt Romney are promoting a day of mass fasting and prayer to seek divine help for the Republican candidate in the upcoming Presidential debates. He’ll need it. The question is no longer whether Mitt Romney loses the election. The really interesting conundrum is: what will happen to the Republican party when he does? When Barack Obama’s reelection is confirmed--at an increasingly early hour--on the night of 6 November, it will mean the GOP has managed to secure a popular majority only once in the past quarter of a century.

Where does this guy get his information? Reagan? Did Bill Clinton ever get a popular majority? I recall he won with 42% of the vote in 1992 and 49% in 1996. I haven't checked but I am pretty sure Bush I received a majority against Dukakis and and GW Bush had over 50% against Kerry. By my account, it's the Democrats that have had trouble achieving popular majorities in the last 25 years.

Dan Hodges? Seriously? Is this the best the "telegraph U.K." can do? The drivel in this column shows just how frightened the left is of Mitt Romney WINNING the Election in November. If this moronic-writer wants to see true MASSACRES, he should stick around after the Election when the obama-leech-supporters understand they have lost the obama-stash! Blah, blah, blah!

The liberal drum beat, Romney will lose. They spouted the same drivel about Reagan and he mopped the floor with Carter. The idiocy of "battle ground" states implies the rest of the country will not be voting.

Today , I heard a clip on the radio of Dana Milbank pronouncing
the election over .
And not just the Presidential contest.
He declared that Republicans will not retake the Senate
and will lose the House.
We must have a massive , massive voter
turnout on our side.
The country cannot survive ,otherwise.

The first paragraph of this story is either grossly deceptive or blatantly false.
"Mormon supporters of Mitt Romney" can do whatever they want, of course, but such a day of fasting and prayer would NOT be sanctioned by the Church. Nor will you ever hear a pro-Romney (or pro-Harry Reid) speech given from a pulpit in an LDS meetinghouse.
Here's the Church's declaration of political neutrality; it is not ambiguous:

FTA The pinko, Marxist, Obama-loving side of me can’t wait for the fireworks to begin. But there’s another part of me that’s quite disheartened at the thought of the last few moderate elements of a once great political party vanishing beneath a tidal wave of post-election Tea Party hysteria."
The LEFT is the only Party that has given the world bloodbaths - Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro - It's called Projection.
The Labour Party surreptitiously under Blair infested the UK with ISlamists - on the Dole - they will reap as they sow.
The TEA Party scares them because they are as Committed to FREEDOM as this Pinko is to Subjugation. We are winning.

Let them be so over-confident they are too busy to vote. Republicans will not be deterred.
This article smacks of religious bigotry to me. This guy can't stand the idea of someone actually having faith....I think that is behind his antipathy toward Romney.

Good grief, what is this character smoking?
Setting aside the obvious absurdity of his proclamation that Obama WILL win, even if he does, it is clear that it will be close, which means vote counting may last for days or weeks.

Admittedly I only read the first paragraph of this opinion piece, but it's an example of why I am trying to maintain a news blackout for the duration of this presidential campaign. The opinions in print media, television and online are all over the place, for and against, and a lot of them scare me. I'm holding my breath until the election.

In the executive suite on the 11th floor of a former bank building in downtown Columbia, a folk art painting propped up against the wall warns, “Look busy, Jesus is coming.” This is Tony Keck’s office, but he doesn’t need to bother looking busy. [Snip] The core of Keck’s message is that Medicaid, and health insurance generally, isn’t making people healthier. He can’t justify spending more money to expand what he sees as an inefficient program, even if the federal government is offering the state billions of dollars to make that happen.

What was the reason you gave up watching the BBC´s Late Review (or Newsnight Review as it then became) or the BBC Review Show as it now is? For me it was the regular guest called Ekow Eshun. He used to spout such unutterable drivel with such fluent and uninterruptable conviction that it made me think: "I never want to read a book or see a film, play or art show ever again just in case I coincidentally end up developing an opinion as fatuous as Ekow Eshun´s."[Snip] Things have changed.

Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal has delivered some harsh criticisms to President Barack Obama over recent controversies surrounding his administration in a speech. [Snip] CNN says Jindal addressed the IRS’ extra scrutiny of conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status, saying those involved in the targeting should ´go to jail´. ´Anyone who participated in this targeting of Americans for their political beliefs, anyone who knew about it, anyone who simply looked the other way, and anyone under whose watch this occurred needs to be fired,´ Jindal said, noting that ordinary citizens who fail to pay taxes could face jail time.

The insurgent leader, who has not been named for operational reasons, commanded seven groups of Taliban fighters and bombers across southern Afghanistan. The dawn raid, carried out with Afghan forces, took place in the Marjah region near Nad-e-Ali, close to the British base in Lashkar Gah. It is believed the Taliban leader, who sources confirmed had regularly travelled between Helmand and Pakistan, had been hunted for a year after being linked to at least three other attacks.

Citing defense ministry sources in Seoul, Yonhap said the missiles had crashed into the Sea of Japan, off the eastern coast of the Korean peninsula. Two rockets were launched this morning while a third was launched in the afternoon, Yonhap said. Early South Korean media reports suggested “shore-based anti-ship” missiles had been fired. Such tests are not unusual in North Korea. In March, a similar launch was carried out with two short-range missiles taking off from the country’s eastern coast. The Tokyo-based news agency, Kyodo, reported the missiles had not fallen into Japanese waters. Yonhap said South Korea had “beefed

You certainly wouldn´t want these ants in your pants. A species of ants, nicknamed ´crazy´ by researchers because they are prone to sporadic movements has descended upon the Southeastern region of the country, particularly in coastal areas with warmer temperatures and has wreaked havoc on yards and homes. ´Crazy´ ants are known scientifically as ´Nylanderia fulva´ and are native to Argentina and Brazil, they are also referred to as ´rasberry´ after the exterminator Tom Rasberry who discovered them in Houston in 2002. The ´crazy´ ants do not have such a painful sting as their insect counterparts, they are still a

Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up.

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure

The Internal Revenue Service´s watchdog told top Treasury officials around June 2012 he was investigating allegations the tax agency had targeted conservative groups, for the first time indicating that Obama administration officials were aware of the explosive matter in the midst of the president´s re-election campaign. The disclosure to the Treasury general counsel and the deputy secretary was a cursory one, according to J. Russell George, the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. He said he didn´t reveal conclusions of the probe, which was in its early stages, and his disclosure came as part
