| ASHBURN, Va. — With the presidential contest in Virginia teetering on a knife's edge, Mitt Romney is counting on the economic concerns of suburban women to lock up a state that's almost a must-carry for him. Joanie Smerdzinski, 34, is one of them. She voted for Barack Obama in 2008 and still finds him more likable than his Republican rival. "I mean, would I want to hang out with Romney? No," said the political independent, who also disagrees with Romney's opposition to same-sex marriage. But personality and social issues won't secure her vote. "I think the economy is the key issue,"

Suburban women in Virginia, soccer Moms in Wisconsin, Ohio, Ohio, Ohio. Is anyone else just tired of the endless articles about what the 'keys' to winning this election are? The real key is for people to VOTE. Because if they do this lying POS Marxist and his anti-American cohorts will lose in a landslide. Not even close.

Bingo JJ. I am soo tired of media playing up the "who's most popular" meme for electing the next POTUS. A booze swilling, court chillin homey is not the image I care for in the WH. Leader, executive, commander in chief is my goal.

Their "first time" may have been with Obama, but do they want their "second time" too? If not, will he send "pimp with the limp"?

Vice President Biden exaggerates when he waxes nostalgic about the “good old days” — a time when “everybody, including the NRA, thought background checks made sense.” Biden’s office says he was referring to the NRA’s support for background checks in the early 1990s and its stated support for expanding background checks to include gun shows in 1999. But vice president’s sentimental journey rides roughshod over the facts: •In 1991, the NRA endorsed legislation creating a national system of “instant background checks” as an alternative to a seven-day waiting period contained in the proposed

PHILADELPHIA -Yashoda Gurung´s (guh-RUNGZ) family survived 20 years in a refugee camp after fleeing war-torn Bhutan. But her mother died months after arriving in the U.S. in 2009 and seeking a legal abortion in Philadelphia. Karnamaya (kar-nuh-MAY´-uh) Mongar´s overdose death is the subject of one of eight murder counts in the ongoing trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell. The 72-year-old Gosnell is also charged with killing seven babies born alive. Through a translator, the 24-year-old Gurung testified Tuesday about the labor-inducing drugs and painkillers her mother was given as she waited hours for Gosnell to arrive for the procedure.

President Obama will meet with Sens. John McCain, Arizona Republican, and Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat, on immigration reform Tuesday afternoon at the White House. The White House added the meeting to the president’s schedule hastily as the bipartisan group of senators known as the “Gang of Eight” delayed for a day a press conference about the introduction of their proposed immigration reform bill, largely due to the tragedy in Boston. On Monday, the White House said a plan by Sen. Marco Rubio, Florida Republican, that would allow illegal immigrants to become citizens after

At least six are dead in Pakistan after a major earthquake hit the Iranian-Pakistan border region Tuesday, according to state-run Pakistan television. The U.S. Geological Survey put the preliminary magnitude of the earthquake at 7.8 and at a depth of nine miles, and Iran´s seismological center said it was centered near Saravan, a sparsely populated area about 26 miles from the Pakistani border. State-run Pakistan TV said at least six people were killed on its side of the border and at least 47 others were injured. Up to 1,000 mud homes were damaged, it added.

In the immediate aftermath of the tragic Newtown murders, Obama and His Media joined forces to exploit the deaths of innocent children for all it was worth -- with a series of laws that would have done absolutely nothing to stop the very crime they were exploiting. This naked political move to leverage the murder of innocents as an excuse to attack the National Rifle Association and gun owners who live predominantly in red states, is about as cynical and craven as it gets. According to Politico, though, all this soul selling is likely to come to nothing.

This week´s Mainstream Media Scream features "Today Show" hosts rewriting history to call Ronald Reagan liberal by today´s political standards. Co-host Willie Geist: "Three in four Americans today thought our country was better off in the ´80s than it is now. Three in four. ... If a presidential election were held today, according to this survey, 58 percent would vote for Ronald Reagan over President Barack Obama." Weatherman Al Roker: "But the interesting thing is a lot of people probably -- I mean Ronald Reagan probably would be seen almost liberally today as opposed to being a conservative."

LONDON- The chimes of Big Ben, one of London´s best-known landmarks, will be silenced during former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher´s funeral, officials say. John Bercow, speaker of the House of Commons, announced the plan Monday, The Guardian reported. He said silencing the clock, formally the Great Clock of Westminster, is a way for Parliament to show its respect. "I believe that there can be a profound dignity and deep respect expressed in and through silence and I´m sure that the house will agree," he said.

PHILADELPHIA — Through four weeks, prosecutors have laid out evidence against Dr. Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia abortion provider on trial on charges of killing seven viable fetuses by “snipping” their necks with scissors and of causing the death of a pregnant 41-year-old woman during a procedure. The grisly details drew mainly local attention. But after an online furor that the case was being ignored by the national news media because of troubling accounts of late-term abortions, reporters from major newspapers and television networks descended Monday on the Court of Common Pleas.

Whitehall sources have revealed that the U.S. delegation at tomorrow’s service in St Paul’s Cathedral will be led by two Reagan era secretaries of state: James Baker and George Shultz. Though President Obama himself had not been expected to attend, there had been speculation that he would be represented either by Vice President Joe Biden or wife Michelle.

Since he first became a presidential candidate, President Obama must have spent millions of dollars in legal expenses to combat dozens of so-called "birther" challenges seeking the original documents pertaining to his birth. As president, he famously issued an electronic document on the White House website in 2011; the document purported to be his long-form birth certificate, though it is apparently a forgery. In addition, he has taken great pains to hide the paper trail of passport records, college transcripts, and other data -- all of which a prospective employer might require of a job applicant.

In light of the explosions that have rocked Boston on Patriots’ Day, during the city’s annual marathon, NBC reporter Luke Russert took to Twitter to speculate that today’s horrific events could possibly be related to the 1993 government siege on the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas — an incident often attached to conversations about “right-wing terrorism” and anti-government violence. “I was at Fenway Park w my dad and @mikebarnicle during Waco which was on Patriots Day in 1993.

His passing went unnoticed and undocumented, but on Monday, prosecution and defense lawyers struggled to get Philadelphia´s chief medical examiner to say whether he was stillborn or killed by Gosnell after being born alive during an abortion.

Is media bias to blame for lack of Gosnell coverage? Or something far more banal? The trial of Philadelphia doctor Kermit Gosnell would seem to have all the elements of a spectacular news story: shocking allegations, horrifying visuals, sympathetic victims. Yet until late last week, much of the national media was silent as testimony about Gosnell’s alleged “house of horrors” abortion clinic rolled out. Much of the media attention outside Philadelphia, in fact, centered on how little media attention the story was receiving outside Philadelphia.
