| We all say Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. But it's all still Denver, Denver, and the mystery that maybe isn't a mystery at all. If Cincinnati and Lake County go for Mitt Romney on Nov. 6 it will be because of what happened in Denver on Oct. 3. If Barack Obama barely scrapes through, if there's a bloody and prolonged recount, it too will be because of Denver. Nothing echoes out like that debate. It was the moment that allowed Mr. Romney to break through, that allowed dismay with the incumbent to coalesce, that allowed voters to consider the alternative. What the debate did to the president is

Comments: This must have been hard for her to write. Reading between the lines, you cannot miss the personal note of regret for also having been fooled. At least, I hope that is the case. After a disappointing spell wandering in the wilderness, it is good to see Peggy Noonan getting it.

The Beltway Bubble may have grown used to him, but the country didn't. They just weren't enthused yet with Romney because they didn't know him, so were thus in a quandry as to how to get the bum out of office.

Agree with #3. And, I have to say, I don't know if Romney will turn out to be as conservative as I hope, but I am impressed by him none thel ess. He is simply a good, decent man, who genuinely loves and enjoys his family, and who genuinely likes this country and the people in it. He reminds me a bit of Ronald Reagan in that regard...

Poster #1 is correct. Peggy eloquently states the obvious and inevitable. Always has.
It was at this point I knew Romney would win. Peggy sealed the deal!

Hey Pegs, the millions of unemployed called, they want their four years back. You know, the four years you obamabots took from them all for the sake of making some kind of sick, twisted, pseudo absolution for the sins of slavery, which none of us had anything to do with anyway.

Noonan is still basking in the love she got from the left on her Palin take down. I don't care if she's in favor of Romney or not,I still consider her a sellout.
Whatever happened to that other supposed conservative writer,Kathleen Parker who did her part to smear Palin.Her TV show with the pervert Spitzer lasted about 10 minutes.

Wow, a staple of D.C. gossip for three years!! Those inside-the-beltway types are super-sharp, aren't they? And quick!
Hell, most of the posters here knew from Day One that Obama is a narcissist and a fraudster.

It doesn't matter to me how much remorseful apologizing and back-pedaling Peggy No-Brains reduces herself to. She will always be the turn-coat RINO she is. And being an outcast, not worthy of respect is befitting her.
Having fallen for Obama, makes her even more naive and stupid than Obama himself. It never ceases to amaze me at how easily some will sell out their own principles for a little bit of face time or fame.

Tens of millions of us Americans saw the Real Obama back in 2008. Peggy saw the Real Obama for the first time earlier this month during the opening debate -- or, more likely, after the post-debate polls started to go Romney's way.

What #18 said. Sorry, Peggy, *we* are Americans and *we* saw the real Obama years ago. You're a little late to party, honey, and our dance cards are full.
Note: What truly annoys me about Peggy Noonan of late is her smarmy pontificating to us rubes. Such condescending elitism.

Peggy, get yourself a passport, honey and come talk to some real Americans outside of your liberal bubble.

Poor little Peggy, she wanted it so bad...so bad!

I read the article. Where the heck has she been these last four years? I knew four years ago that Obama was an arrogant fraud. Peggy Noonan is a snooty phony so-called conservative. All she cares about is getting invited to the trendy cocktail parties. Also I can't stand that annoying habit of hers of closing her eyes when she expresses one of her "deep thoughts".

Last time I saw Peg, I was flipping through the channels and as I quickly passes by Morning Joe, there she was, fighting with Mika for camera time.
That's right, Peg was on MSNBC, passing intel to the enemy.

Don't know why I even bothered to read something the 'eternal ingenue' wrote since I gave up on her during 43. Once again she is leading the charge of snivling Obama navel-gazers. She is almost as vapid as he is! Of course Obama has no skills--he hasn't needed any thanks to Affirmative Action.

Noonan typically is clueless as to why Obama is losing--his performance in Denver was not the reason--it was Romney's performance that sealed the deal (a completely independent vector from Obama's). People wanted an alternative--anything--to get us away from Obama. Sure, they didn't want to articulate that fact because no one enjoys admitting that he is wrong. Romney's performance meant to swing voters that they have an alternative to the malaise of the Obama administration. It certainly helped that Obama was his usual jerk-self, but that wasn't the driving factor. Americans know they have an alternative (like in 1980).
And as usual, Noonan missed the real issue--talk about self-delusion.

Obama's true self has not been a secret; it's been out there for the world to see for 5 years now. People like Peggy saw it, but chose to ignore/deny the truth because somehow it was racist to tell the truth about Mr. Hopey/Changey. Welcome back, but please heed the lesson and don't be so naive and complicit next time!

We are becoming a conceited nitwit society, pushy and self-aggrandizing. No one is ashamed to brag now. and show off. They think it heightens them. They think it´s good for business. It used to be that if you were big, you´d never tell people how big you were because that would be kind of classless, and small. In fact it would be a proof of smallness.

DALLAS – George P. Bush, a nephew of former President George W. Bush and son of one-time Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, has made a campaign filing in Texas that is required of candidates planning to run for state office, an official said Thursday night. The younger Bush, a Fort Worth resident, filed a campaign treasurer appointment Wednesday, a requirement for someone to become a candidate under campaign finance law, Tim Sorrells, general counsel for the Texas Ethics Commission, told The Associated Press.

Never has so much time, money and energy been put into a presidential election with so meager a result. Washington today is a carbon copy of what it was when the campaign began many months ago. Democrats control the White House and Senate, Republicans the House. Republicans were hoping for a change election. They didn't get one. President Obama would have liked a mandate. He didn't get one. What the voters desired is anybody's guess. Their intentions, besides re-electing Barack Obama, were unclear.

The economy plowed ahead at a 2% growth rate in the third quarter, which thrilled more than a few of our liberal friends who think it's enough to re-elect President Obama. We'll soon find out if they're right, but there's no doubt their prosperity standards are slipping. In the third quarter of 1992, growth came in at 4.2% (3.4% for the year) and Democrats called it a catastrophe. The third-quarter figure means that growth for the first nine months of 2012 has been a paltry 1.7%. That's slower than last year (1.8%), which was slower than the year before (2.4%).

Disturbing developments are sweeping across the greater Middle East. In Syria, tens of thousands of innocent people have been slaughtered. In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood has come to power, and the country's peace treaty with Israel hangs in the balance. In Libya, our ambassador was murdered in a terrorist attack. U.S. embassies throughout the region have been stormed in violent protests. And in Iran, the ayatollahs continue to move full tilt toward nuclear-weapons capability, all the while promising to annihilate Israel.

I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

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.”
