| One thing that was absent from the first presidential debate was the truth—the word truth that is. A glimpse at the debate transcript reveals that the word never came up at all, while true came up twice in an exchange of more than 16,000 words. Each candidate used it once, Mitt Romney indirectly to accuse the president of lying about his platform, Barack Obama overtly in his admission that health care premiums have risen since the passage of Obamacare two years ago. The Obama campaign has announced plans to change all that in the second debate. In fact they intend

Comments:
If the 0bama campaign is going to try and attack Romney with their lying version of ''facts'' they are making a huge mistake. So let them. There seems to be a major assault planned beginning this week upon the ''facts'' of the 0bama regime that will carry over into the next debate. Organized? Maybe. Either way Romney will certainly be prepared and 0bama is simply too stupid to be prepared. You can't memorize everything and if the 0bama campaign is counting on their candidate being able to think on his feet..........

I have no idea who Portnoy is, but the fictional one had nothing to qualify him to give this kind of advice.
Mr. Romney should be himself. Do what he did last week. He will be fine.
The veneer over Obie's nastiness is very, very thin these days. Often entirely missing. He will have been warned "no smirks, no zingers, no nastiness, no sarcasm, no derisive facial or body language" - and he won't have a helluva lot left.

Here's Portnoy:
Howard Portnoy has written for the New York's "Daily News" and several national magazines. He has one published novel, "Hot Rain," (G. P. Putnam's Sons), and has ghost-written some dozen books on art and literature. He also blogs at HotAir.com.
Bla, bla, bla, bla, bla....
This piece just restates the obvious. I hate the kind of condescension that some of these unsolicited "advisers" are coming up with. They've never done anything but write, never run anything, never been elected to anything. Spectators.

It may not happen in number 2, but it will surely happen in 3. It will only take one or two more stingers from Romney to cause him to loose it. He despises Romney as much as he despises the USA, and when Romney challenges him it make his blood boil.

Team Romney continually impresses with its focus, discipline, and ruthlessness (remember the primaries?). Team Obama has vastly underestimated Romney -- by believing its own pathetic mantra about Romney and Obama, and not realizing that it takes more to lead than Obama's being propped up by affirmative action Marxist whores.
Pass the popcorn. Hell will be unleashed on Obama starting tomorrow.

I disagree, #3. There's nothing in the world that the Marxist Mulatto despises more than the USA. Ditto for Mooch.

#1 is on the right track. More will be gained by letting NerØbama's petulance be the dominant factor. While posters (like me) can call "a spade a spade" (so to speak), Romney must make the point in a less blatant manner. We're not running to be POTUS - he is. As Margaret Hamilton's line in that 1939 classic points out: "These things must be done d-e-l-i-c-a-t-e-l-y!"

Although the second debate will be about foreign policy, I would expect that under a claim of plausible relevance, Obama will attempt to shoe-horn in the rejoinders he wishes he had made in the first debate, including some reference to the 47%. In effect, a do-over. Will Candy Crowley let him? She will egg him on and all but dance when he recites the whole paragraphs he is now being forced to memorize in debate prep.

Romney should make a point to bring a huge binder labeled "Cheat Sheets" out with him at the next debate. Then hand it to the moderator and say "I don't really need this but you can let Barrack use it if he wants" Then he should take a handkerchief out of his pocket dab his forehead before placing it on the podium

We at Townhall have been covering this hotly contested Senate race for months and the results are finally in: With 36 percent of precincts reporting, Elizabeth Warren has been declared the next junior Senator from Massachusetts. Warren has never held public office before and the eye-popping $40 million she raised this election cycle evidently proved more than enough to unseat incumbent Senator Scott Brown. This was the most expensive Senate race of 2012 -- by a long shot.

CNN’s Peter Hamby reported that Mitt Romney‘s internal polling showed President Obama leading in Ohio by five percentage points.Per Hamby’s post: The number represented a sharp final bump for Obama in Ohio, a race that had essentially been a tied race through much of the previous week, according to the campaign’s daily tracking. The polling, which also showed a tight race in Pennsylvania, explains why Romney officials decided to send their candidate on last-minute Election Day visits to Cleveland and Pittsburgh.

The Obama and Romney campaigns may be gearing up for a very late night, with one Obama campaign adviser predicting that in Florida alone, "they'll be counting until 2 a.m." The Obama adviser said signs suggest the race is quite tight, though the campaign claimed to be "holding strong" in key battlegrounds like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The adviser also said turnout among black voters in Virginia was better than expected, suggesting that could be a problem for Mitt Romney. Republican operatives in Virginia, though, predicted a razor-thin victory for their candidate in the state.

Washington - Early returns on Tuesday in what is anticipated to be a dead even presidential election contained no surprises, as CNN projected President Barack Obama will win his home state of Illinois and eight other races while Republican challenger Mitt Romney will win nine states. All races called so far went as expected after the roller-coaster ride of an election campaign that was buffeted by a superstorm and missteps on both sides. Obama and Romney ran dead even in final polls that hinted at a result rivaling some of the closest presidential elections in history, reflecting the deep political

A week after Hurricane Sandy slammed into the East Coast, a majority of voters said President Barack Obama’s response to the crisis wasn’t a factor in their vote, according to early exit polls. Fifty-five percent of those surveyed, per CBS News’ early exit polling released by radio station WKZO in Kalamazoo, Mich., said Obama’s handling of the storm was a minor factor in their vote or wasn’t a factor at all. Twenty-six percent named Sandy as an “important” factor, and 15 percent said it was the “most important” factor in their decision.

Mitt Romney is leading among independents in both Ohio and Virginia, early exit polls show. In Ohio, the former Massachusetts governor takes 56 percent of self-identified independents, compared with 40 percent for President Barack Obama. That’s a huge decrease for Obama from 2008, when the exit polls found him winning independents in Ohio by 12 points, 52 percent to 44 percent for John McCain. The numbers are similar but slightly tighter in Virginia: Romney takes 53 percent of independents there, according to ABC News exit polls, a 12-point lead over Obama. In 2008, Obama won independents in the state by

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

Eva Longoria is backing up her beauty with a whole lot of brain. The actress graduated with a master´s degree Wednesday. Longoria, 38, took home a real degree (not an honorary one) in Chicano studies from Cal State Northridge, where she physically attended classes for three years, according to TMZ. "Big day today!!! Very excited to graduate for my master´s degree in Chicano studies! You´re never too old or too busy to continue your education!" the actress wrote on her Who Say site Wednesday, sharing loads of pics of her big day, posing with her family, cohorts and diploma.

What´s so interesting about 60 tea partiers protesting the IRS in San Jose, California on Tuesday, May 21st? The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance. What was a DHS agent doing at the San Jose Tea Party protest? (snip) they weren´t just spying on us in San Jose and monitoring us in San Francisco, they were watching us throughout the entire state

On “Fox News Sunday” last weekend, White House aide Dan Pfeiffer was asked about President Barack Obama’s whereabouts the night of the Sept. 11 attack in Benghazi. This was the night when we lost our first ambassador in 30 years, and when three other Americans were killed in an attack that lasted all night long at multiple locations within the eastern Libyan city. Since the president is commander in chief, one would think where he was and what he did during such an event would be of obvious public concern.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Is the worm turning against Barack Obama? After four-plus years of being given the benefit of the doubt by the bulk of the US media, the President now suddenly feels more vulnerable. Today both the New York Times and the Washington Post have run prominent and angry editorials and columns slamming the administration for its attempt to criminalise a Fox News reporter James Rosen for working a State Department source to obtain a story. The "Rosen Affair"--as it is now known--is poisoning the well in Washington at an alarming rate for Mr Obama, with an indignant White House press corps
