| The Drudge Report, the heavily-trafficked blog run by conservative Matt Drudge, is up with a new headline hyping a "sex scandal to hit campaign..." According to Drudge, the story is "developing." Drudge, a close personal friend of Mitt Romney's campaign manager Matt Rhoades, has hyped up several exclusive news stories during the 2012 campaign cycle, most of which have fallen flat. So our hopes aren't too high for his latest report.

I've been watching this on Drudge and note that it doesn't even say whose campaign. It might not be the presidential campaign even.

Obama's late 70's pictures as a Disco Queen/King in NYC have surfaced. Larry Sinclair, Donald Young et al - too many to be a coincidence. Three murdered Gay Black Men in Obama's Church just before he became POTUS and no convictions? Why didn't Michelle go to Church with Obama and the girls on Sunday? Jeremiah Wright's Down Low club is well known in the black community in Chicago according to Kevin Dujan on Hillbuzz- and Michelle and Barack are his star frauds-are his chickens coming home to roost??? BTW - if it is NOT about Obama - Why Not???

Agree with #4 ... even if Drudge's alleged scandal turns out to be the truth coming out about Obama and the "down low."
The Benghazi debate is far more important right now. Of course we should not drop the topic of Obama's fabricated past -- it will be imperative for history to establish exactly who the impostor, Obama, really was.
But for now, the immediate (and continuing) national security crisis that is Benghazi deserves our strongest focus.

Well, Drudge has a photo of Obama sandwiched between this text and Gallup's announcement that they'll begin polling tomorrow, so is the photo a clue that it's Obama-related? My guess is that the secret service detail has been procuring for someone...but what and who?

If you've ever read Hillbuzz.org, you'll know that Drudge puts hints around pics, especially of Bathhouse Barry. Someone's probably dropping the hammer on all of his "golfing outings" in which there's zero golfing going on.

Bill Clinton sex scandal? Not if it involves live women. That's old news. Yawn.
But if we're talking about Obama and men and/or boys, well, that should have been outed a month ago. The timing on that will have been dismissed as opportunistic.

Dr. Corsi has already written an article about the down-low club of which jugears was an active member and people from Trinity Church named names. The article was a 3 part series of info on obama in Chicago. Told how Rev. Wright and Jesse Jackson paired obama to michelle (the undesirables were talked into cover for the homos, or bi's. This was about 3-4 weeks back. Maybe that is what is coming out.

And if anyone thinks a homosexual rumor about Obama will hurt him among black voters, think again. It would be denied as a smear, and a We [bruthas & sistas] Got His Back campaign has been driven home for some time now.

Well, since we're playing parlour games here.... Do you all remember the staffer that worked in Chicago? Young guy. Died all of a sudden. He had worked very closely with Obama before this election. The other thing I always found strange was Reggie Love said that one of his "duties" as the President's body man was to wake him up in the morning. Why wouldn't his wife do that? Do they use separate bedrooms like Hillary and Bill did?
I would rather read about a smoking gun regarding Benghazi than Obama's, or anyone's, sex life.

If it's about Obama, it could backfire. First, it makes him a victim which is a role he's milked for a lifetime. Second, people are serious about this election and will likely be turned off by what they perceive to be another tired political stunt.

just recently it was Trump's great announcement. It turned out to be lame and unworthy of the attention it got. Now this. If he has an announcement to make, just make it. The teasers are pointless and make him look desperate. I said it a few months ago and it is still true. Believe nothing you see or hear. It is all concocted by professional political liars, no matter what it is.

Diane Feinstein was critical of Clinton for the Monica scandal. Hence, she is shown with her hand over her face, eye peeking out. Obama is shown, well, ahem. If your mind occasionally travels in the gutter, the mouth agape and gesture chosen by Drudge (out of the million file photos available) is as apparent as a presidential candidate scratching his cheek with his middle finger.

A New Hampshire state representative apologized on Wednesday for using "vagina" as a synonym for "woman" in a mass email to lawmakers as part of a gun-law debate. Representative Peter Hansen was responding to fellow Republican Representative Steve Vaillancourt, who had urged repeal of the state´s Stand Your Ground law.The 2011 law allows use of deadly force even if people could safely retreat from a threatening situation."What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT (Vermont), Germany and the bowels of Amsterdam," Hansen wrote in an email to the 400-member House of Representatives in response to a speech by Vaillancourt.

It was reviewing movies that made Roger Ebert as famous and wealthy as many of the stars who felt the sting or caress of his pen or were the recipients of his televised thumbs-up or thumbs-down judgments. But in his words and in his life he displayed the soul of a poet whose passions and interests extended far beyond the darkened theaters where he spent so much of his professional life. The Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic for the Chicago Sun-Times for more than 45 years died Thursday, according to a family friend.

We begin with the three words everyone writing about the election must say: Nobody knows anything. Everyone’s guessing. I spent Sunday morning in Washington with journalists and political hands, one of whom said she feels it’s Obama, the rest of whom said they don’t know. I think it’s Romney. I think he’s stealing in “like a thief with good tools,” in Walker Percy’s old words. While everyone is looking at the polls and the storm, Romney’s slipping into the presidency. He’s quietly rising, and he’s been rising for a while.

So our hopes aren't too high for his latest report.

With less than a week before the election, the race for the White House is dead even: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney receive 46 percent each, according to a Fox News poll of likely voters. Romney had a razor-thin 46-45 percent edge earlier this month, after the first presidential debate (October 7-9). Interviews in areas affected by Hurricane Sandy were completed before Monday evening, when the hurricane made landfall. Independents give the edge to Romney by seven percentage points (46-39 percent). That’s down from a 12-point advantage in early October. There’s a gender gap in vote

Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons.

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 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.

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.
