As Election Day nears,
Romney crowds are surging

SIDNEY, Ohio — The crowds tell the story. As Election Day nears, Mitt Romney is drawing large and excited throngs. Look to dusty Iowa cornfields, rain-soaked Virginia parks, the muddy fields of the Shelby County Fairgrounds, where a crowd of 9,500 — almost half of this western Ohio town — gathered among the barns and stables on a frigid October evening this week to glimpse the Republican presidential contender. "Where else would we want to be?" said one of the shivering faithful, Judy Cartwright, a 71-year-old nurse from Sidney. "I want to see the next president of the United States."

Wow! Just WOW!

I'm still afraid to allow myself to hope --or believe.

Go Romney Ryan!'

I've been predicting 53%-47% for a long time now....President Romney and Vice President Ryan. Sounds real good, doesnt it?

Keep on praying for America and be sure to vote.

GO ROMNEY/RYAN

Yes, it sounds like a wonderful relief. If they win, I will run down the street screaming in joy and waving a flag. I will also drive and honk and celebrate like there is no tomorrow. If Zero wins, there will be no tomorrow. I don't care what the lefties here would say or think about my partying. Let them try to pull something. I'll have to move anyway because of all the Obama cronyism and the UN Agenda 21 is tearing down my home and the last few homes on big pieces of land. I can only hope and pray that things start getting better before I have to live on my car with my cats.

I really can't see the dems marching into this election the way things currently stand. They see the same polls as everybody else and Obama only locking down 10 states

Now all of a sudden the riot card is slipping out.So the choice is living in a communist country or worrying about rioters tearing things up.

It's never too late for an October surprise while it's still October.

#3: it needs to be more than that if we expect to win. With the way the Dems are attacking True the Vote and fighting against anti-fraud efforts. The way they're suppressing the military vote. They are not going to sit there and let this be an above-board, fair election.

The talking heads say Ohio is vital for a Romney win - sounds like the tide is changing in the right direction - modified joy and prayerful hope.

Must have been a very difficult column for the Asse Press to have to admit that Mitt Romney "crowds" are surging! What #3 and #4 said. A 6 point spread sounds about right to me and if that's not enough, let THEM question the result! Romney/Ryan!

I'm with Romney all the way. Just a point though, Reagan straightened the economy out, but that tough medicine took everything down for the first year. Stock market tanked first year of Reagan, didn't bottom out until late summer of 1982, then straight up. Just sayin'. Might work out immediately for Mitt, but we all might have to be patient too.

Just to add, the term in the early '80s was "taking away the punchbowl", as the FED reversed course from Carter years easy money, to Reagan's sound currency. Could see that again, along with a shutdown of all the "stimulus" (ie GRAFT) going to unions and other DEM machines. Could put consumer spending into a tailspin.

Never, ever discount the massive fraud that will go on in this election.

obama's big crowds now are at universities, where classes are canceled and the captive audience of "50 percenters" are lured to fill the venue with promises of free weed, courtesy of Bill Maher. (OK, some sarc).

BTW - a 50 percenter is a college student whose odds of finding a job are 50 percent, thanks to the marxist metrosexual masquerading as a leader. Those who are working can be recognized by their speaking skills, ex: "May I have the pleasure of serving you fries with your wise choice of a quarter-pounder with cheese?"

A never seen before ground swell that covers all fifty states is going to make a mockery of this "must-win-this-state-must-not-lose-that" punditry. On the morning of Nov 7 this will be a different country.

FTA: ''Obama can still turn out big crowds. As the election draws close, the president is appearing in college settings where he can depend on the enthusiasm of younger supporters.''

Translation: The Won depends on the fresh college brainwashed nincompoops with absolutely NO real-life experience other than ''I should get it for free!''

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan were together yesterday in Lancaster, Ohio - just down the road from me. Lancaster's population is around 38,000. Almost 9,000 showed up to greet them on a beautiful fall day and the crowd loved them!!

Later that evening, Paul Ryan stopped in Columbus to welcome home eight members of our military and spend time with them before leaving. Class act.

MINEOLA, N.Y. — A Hofstra University student being held in a headlock at gunpoint by an intruder was accidently shot and killed by a police officer who had responded to the home invasion at an off-campus home, police said Saturday. Junior public relations major Andrea Rebello was shot once in the head early Friday morning by an officer who opened fire after the masked intruder pointed a gun at the officer while holding the 21-year-old student, Nassau County homicide squad Lt. John Azzata said. In a tense confrontation with the officer, gunman Dalton Smith "menaces

I have always been skeptical of electric vehicles, mostly because of my perception that electric car makers are more interested in subsisting on government subsidies than in competing on a level playing field for my business. So I was intrigued when I got an email this morning from Jeff Evanson, Tesla Motors’ Vice-President of investor relations. Evanson, a long-time Power Line reader, pointed out that the company raised over $1 billion last week, and will use a portion of those proceeds to pay off its loan with the Department of Energy ahead of schedule. This will make Tesla

Here is a woman we will need to learn much more about in the coming weeks. Sarah Hall Ingram is a highly valued employee at the IRS. In the last three years she has received $103,390 in bonuses for her excellent work. She was the Commissioner of the Tax-Exempt and Government Entitles Division. Under her leadership, groups that expressed a fear of large, out-of-control government were systematically crushed by her branch of our large, out-of-control government. They were specifically singled out for harassment for political reasons. Secret information about the conservative applicants was leaked to leftist

An exasperated Rep. Pat Tiberi on Friday asked the former acting chief of the IRS to explain to Congress why he would move the leader of the division that targeted conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to a branch that is overseeing one of the most partisan issues of recent memory — President Obama’s health care law. “Because she’s a superb civil servant, sir,” Steven Miller, who resigned under duress last week, told the Ohio Republican at a hearing before the House Committee on Ways and Means.

I was on Hugh Hewitt’s radio show last night, talking about the Benghazi talking point emails. Near the end of the segment, Hugh asked whether I thought the presidential election might have turned out differently if Obama and Clinton had not succeeded in covering up the truth about Benghazi. I was skeptical. The story of the election, I said, was the Obama campaign’s ability to turn out, once again, a large majority of the low-information voters who swept Obama into office in 2008. Few of those low-information voters, I said, would either have understood, or cared about, Benghazi

A Breach of Trust

As tax collector for the nation’s second-largest state, I know it’s a necessary function — from the fire station to the space station, nothing government does is possible without taxes. But it’s sure no path to popularity. Tax collectors have had a rotten reputation since biblical times. For all the services and all the people that depend on it, our work has to be viewed as fair and even-handed. It’s a basic bond of trust, and once that trust is lost, it’s hard to get back. Our entire nation was born when the colonists decided Britain’s taxes were unfair

While many Democrats have joined Republicans in public shaming of the Internal Revenue Service for singling out conservative groups, others say the scandal is just a byproduct of muddied rules about nonprofits and political activity in the wake of the Citizens United ruling — and they’re hoping that they can steer the conversation from outrage over political targeting to fuel for campaign finance reform. But senior Dems may have much more than an opportunity to try to turn scandal to their advantage: they may have a degree of culpability as one especially vocal proponent

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.

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
