Voting machine swaps Obama for Romney. Obama, Romney ready for round three - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill.
President Obama and Mitt Romney face each other onstage for the last time on Monday evening, when they meet at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., for their third televised debate.
The importance of the occasion cannot be overstated. With the presidential race balanced on a knife-edge, this will be the last big set-piece of the campaign. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released Sunday showed the race tied, Obama and Romney each claiming the support of 47 percent of likely voters. Never again will either man have the chance to reach an audience anywhere close to the likely viewership of around 60 million people.
A particularly strong performance, or even a single memorable gaffe, could decide the outcome on Election Day. Obama spent Saturday and Sunday at Camp David with no public events scheduled. Romney campaign seizes momentum with 30 days left before election - The Hill - covering Congress, Politics, Political Campaigns and Capitol Hill. With 30 days before the election, Mitt Romney has breathed new life into his campaign as a result of last week’s debate.
President Obama has had a small edge over Romney in most national polls, though the impact of the president’s weak debate performance has yet to play out in polling. But barring a huge post-debate bounce for the former Massachusetts governor, Obama has an easier path to get to 270 electoral votes, while Romney needs to all but run the table in the swing states to pull off a win. Republicans had begun to privately write off Romney’s chances before last Wednesday’s debate, but his strong performance and Obama’s listless response drew cries of joy from the right, including from some most of Romney’s harshest conservative critics. Yet, Friday’s jobs report showed the unemployment rate declining to 7.8 percent, the lowest figure since Obama’s first month in office.
It will take days — and fresh polling — to sort out how these countervailing events will play out. Rep. Rep. Candidate slammed for World of Warcraft fandom - Steve Friess. Maine state Senate candidate Colleen Lachowicz is not a witch.
She is, however, an orc assassination rogue with a potty mouth — and the Maine Republican Party believes that disqualifies her from public office. Continue Reading In an unusual press release issued Thursday, the Maine GOP attacked Lachowicz for a “bizarre double life” in which she’s a devotee of the hugely popular online role-playing game World of Warcraft. In the game, she’s “Santiaga,” an "orc assassination rogue" with green skin, fangs, a Mohawk and pointy ears. Lachowicz is a Democrat running against incumbent state Sen.
Lachowicz has blogged under her own name about her World of Warcraft achievements as well as left-wing politics in a dedicated section of the liberal DailyKos.Com. Other postings use curse words and make to the joy of “stab[bing] things,” joke about “being in a Socialist guild” and admit to “seriously slacking off at work.” Sorenson had no apologies. First presidential debate: Obama hit with left hook on TV, online - Kevin Cirilli. Left-leaning commentators hit President Barack Obama hard on TV and the Internet after the first presidential debate in Denver on Wednesday night, saying GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney handily defeated his more experienced opponent.
MSNBC hosts were “stunned” by Obama’s performance, suggesting the president was rusty for not having debated in four years. Continue Reading. Obama Team Tries to Change Course After Debate Disappoints. Under fire from fellow Democrats, Mr.
Obama came out swinging, accusing Mr. Romney of lying to the American people about his plans for the nation. “I met this very spirited fellow who claimed to be Mitt Romney,” Mr. Obama told 12,000 supporters during a lakeside rally. After Obama guidance, Lockheed won't issue layoff notices this year - The Hill's DEFCON Hill. Lockheed Martin and other defense contractors backed down from issuing layoff notices to employees on Monday after the Obama administration promised to pick up the tab for severance costs resulting from sequestration.
The news provided welcome relief for President Obama, who faced the prospect of mass layoff notices in battleground states just days before the election, and outraged Republicans, who accused the administration of bending the law to hide job losses from the public. The White House issued guidance on Friday that said the government would cover the costs if contracts are canceled and layoffs occur due to the automatic spending cuts set for 2013. But that offer would be null and void for any contractor that issues job-loss warnings before sequestration begins. Pat Caddell Says: Media Have Become “Enemy of the American People”
The Politics of Parity and ‘The Odd Man In’ Ten years ago, as the 2002 midterm elections — the first since the 9/11 attacks — approached their finish, Washington Post columnist Michael Kelly observed that the parties were still almost evenly divided and that “the battle between the two great parties for a sustainable post-New Deal primacy” was far from settled.
He also noted that in such a volatile and evenly divided political climate, “the Odd Man is in.” The late Mr. Kelly (he tragically died covering the Iraq War in 2003) predicted that American politics would get even more nasty due to its parity and hyper-competitiveness: “We will be seeing a lot more of all those things that nice people find so distasteful in politics. (As a not obsessively nice person, hurrah.)” While I did not share Mr. Presidential Election Map 2012.
