Obama 2012 diagnosis:
Stage Two Death Rattle

| As a veteran of numerous national, state and local campaigns, I can tell you that each race and each campaign has its own life cycle. The 2012 presidential contest is no exception. As polls tighten, and especially since Mitt Romney’s decisive performance in the first debate, Team Obama and the president himself are showing signs of what I term a campaign’s “death rattle.” GOP contender Rick Santorum withdrew from this year’s Republican primary within three days of my declaration that his campaign was in the final stages of “death rattle.” The phenomenon has three distinct stages.

The campaign is done with the storm. Libya is off the news and Bammy will spend his remaining time looking presidential and giving out money, water and speeches of healing. Any references to the economy will look petty and the media will keep it so. The storm has changed the Democrat's luck.

FTA: ''
It is clear that Team Obama felt that the immense personal popularity of the president, unrelenting attacks on Romney and the power of incumbency would be sufficient to carry President Obama to a second term.''
IMO, he left out the most important thing...millions of dollars of free, fawning articles from the Useless Media. We could all send Romney $500 apiece and it wouldn't add up to what the media has given obama for free. Not to mention their cover-up of the Benghazi slaughter.

I am proud of America for turning this bum out, seemingly so. It bothesme that so many still have the blinders on about this guy.

The storm is not going to help Obama as all the States that he will be catering to with his mouth and federal money are already States that were bound to go Democrat anyway.
By Obama having to look "Presidential" in those States, he will be forced off the campaign trail in the so-called battleground States, where Romney will be putting forth a full court press right up until next Tuesday.

I can only pray this is true, but obama will use every tactic he can to win this election. He knows he has a useless media to help him.
This storm has changed the momentum for now, at least as far as taking the attention away from Bengazi. Romney has had to look sympathetic, so cant drive the last stake in yet. Lets hope the end of the week can be enough time to do it. As long as Romney is still giving speeches, he is getting coverage. Obama looks useless compared to Gov Christie.

#11 is correct these NE States are all in the tank for OBlamer so it will only be a distraction from the end game campaigning for the swing states. Besides there will be many screw ups and high tempers in the days following this huge disaster and even the fawning Corrupt Media will not be able to bury it. The Big Government and Entitlement crowd's expectations of immediate and magical relief from FEMA will be hard to meet. Besides these Democrat run states can't be trusted to get much right. Look for some real snafus.

Anyone undecided at this point who chooses to vote for obama because of his "work" on the storm or some late day surprise or tactic was going to vote for obama anyway. If you haven't decided who you are going to vote for by now, something is wrong with you and you just shouldn't vote. I personally think obama is doing everything he can to prevent a landslide, not eek out a win. A landslide will destroy all his "gains" and would be devastating to his payoff from those who put him in office to destroy America. He might not get his mansion in Hawaii.

Government flood relief will likely cost Obama votes - rather than gain him any. As someone who has gone through a flood this summer - I can say that "flood relief" that counts: help when you need it, is more likely to come from churches and charitable organizations.

The budget released this week by the White House is by far Obama’s most ambitious statement of his legislative priorities since 2009, when, as a newly elected President, he produced a plan brimming over with initiatives like Obamacare, education reform, new spending to aid the depressed economy, and a cap-and-trade régime to curb carbon pollution. Obama’s 2009 budget presaged two years in office that were so legislatively far-reaching that, in Washington policy circles, the document was sometimes called the Big Bang. This new budget approaches the ambitions of 2009—with one glaring omission.

Here is something I don’t understand: liberals are often revealed as vile, vulgar hatemongers–not all of them, of course, but far too many–yet they never seem to pay a penalty at the polls. Why is that? Margaret Thatcher’s death has been the latest occasion for the Left to show its true stripes. All across the U.K., there have been demonstrations–vulgar at best, and violent at worst. In Bristol, lefties celebrating a Thatcher “death street party” started fires, destroyed property and battled police: This evening in Trafalgar Square, liberals have turned out for a long-planned celebration of Thatcher’s death:

How did Terry McAuliffe, the Democratic Party´s choice to run for governor in Virginia in 2013, get so rich? His first job out of college was with President Carter´s 1980 re-election campaign where he rose to be national finance director at the age of 22. Then, after graduating from law school, McAuliffe helped found the Federal City National Bank in 1985. Three short years later, the bank´s board elected McAuliffe chairman, making him the youngest elected chairman of a federally chartered bank in the history of the United States. Now why would a tiny young bank elect a campaign-worker-turned-law student

MIAMI — Carnival Corp. says all maritime interests must assist without question those in trouble at sea, a duty that would not include reimbursing the U.S. government nearly $780,000 for costs associated with the rescue of the crippled Triumph cruise ship. Carnival released letters Friday replying to an inquiry by U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, a West Virginia Democrat who chairs the Senate Commerce Committee, about the Triumph stranding and the cruise line’s overall safety record. Among Rockefeller’s questions was whether Carnival would repay the government for Coast Guard costs in the Triumph case as well as

The recent kerfuffle over a secret recording of Sen. Mitch McConnell’s campaign strategy meeting, which focused on opposition research about a likely opponent, actress Ashley Judd, has divided observers into two groups. One consists of those disturbed by the bugging of a private conversation. The other consists of people who were mostly offended by the content of the conversation, which concerned Judd’s emotional problems, and laughter about certain odd comments she has made over time. First, welcome to reality. Nothing about this episode, first exposed by Mother Jones magazine, is novel or especially outrageous, except for the allegedly illegal activity.

Even though the nonprofit has long vowed admission to the sacred site would be free, it is now demanding $2 per ticket for all advance reservations made online or by phone. Officials quietly rolled out the fee on March 1 — but it did not escape the notice of some outraged families of Sept. 11 victims. “I don’t want the American public to have to pay a dime to pay respects to my son,” said Sally Regenhard, whose firefighter son, Christian,

When Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed by Libyan terrorists in Benghazi last September, it had been 33 years since an American diplomat had been killed in the line of duty. But it took just seven months for yet another American envoy to die violently. Her name was Anne Smedinghoff. A 25-year-old Foreign Service officer at the US Embassy in Kabul, she was one of the five Americans killed this month by a terrorist bomb as they were delivering donated textbooks to Afghan children. The other Americans killed with her were a Defense Department translator and three US soldiers.

W hat do we know about Kim? He´s the third and youngest son of former North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il, the "Dear Leader" who died in 2011. Because of the secretive nature of the regime, no one outside of Pyongyang´s ruling elite knows the young Kim´s precise birth date — experts think he is 29 or 30 years old — or his mother´s true identity. Some reports suggest she was Ko Yong Hui, a former dancer and mistress of Kim Jong Il who served as the country´s First Lady until her death in 2004.

MIAMI -- Months of increased tension at the Guantanamo Bay prison boiled over into a clash between guards and detainees Saturday as the military closed a communal section of the facility and moved its inmates into single cells. The violence erupted during an early morning raid that military officials said was necessary because prisoners had covered up security cameras and windows as part of a weekslong protest and hunger strike over their indefinite confinement and conditions at the U.S. base in Cuba. Prisoners fought guards with makeshift weapons that included broomsticks and mop handles when troops arrived

Pro golfers, golf writers, and TV commentators are up in arms that Tiger Woods was only given a 2-stroke penalty for his illegal drop on the 15th hole yesterday. Tiger said last night that he dropped his ball two yards behind his previous spot, clearly violating the rule that you must drop "as nearly as possible" to your original spot. Golf people are not happy about it. They say that the new rule is B.S. (or it´s at least being misinterpreted), and Tiger should DQ himself to save the integrity of the game.

In Philadelphia, at a human abattoir on Lancaster Avenue, is where it ends, not where it starts. It starts with the perversion of language. It starts when the icons of a dissipated culture reduce a baby to a “fetus.” From there, Yeats’s blood-dimmed tide rolls rapidly in. Before long, a baby is not a person but a punishment, as President Barack Obama framed the matter in his familiar off-the-cuff iciness. Of course, to describe newborn children in their boundless possibilities and wonder would be to acknowledge, foremost, their humanity. That is why, instead, abortion enthusiasts must grope for words

And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic.

With President Obama, there’s always a catch. In the 2014 budget he announced last week, Obama proposed a more accurate way of calculating the inflation rate for annual cost-of-living increases in Social Security. It’s a technical change in pursuit of honesty and good government. And if adopted, it would cause benefits to grow more slowly, though almost imperceptibly so. Republican leaders in Congress ought to be delighted since they had “championed”—Obama’s word—the idea in the first place. Then came the catch. The president’s price for adopting this gentle reform was hundreds of billions in new tax increases.

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.
