I have written numerous times about AARP's love affair with Obamacare, including recently disclosed documents showing coordination of strategy.  Proponents of Obamacare often cited AARP's support as the equivalent of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval. Few AARP members probably realize how big a role AARP...

The media have fully deployed their defenses to protect President Obama after his dismal debate performance last night. So far two tactics have been employed, the first is the thinly veiled "fact check" attacks, while the other is calling Romney a bully for his take-charge...

I watched the debate without the company of the Web or Twitter, so I was surprised afterward to see the consensus that Romney had wiped the floor with Obama.   I humbly disagree.  He did well.  He didn't do well enough. Last night was a major reason...

Elizabeth Warren still is not Cherokee.  She never was. Her family lore is grossly exaggerated, in all likelihood by Warren herself not her parents.  Yet whenever anyone questions this family lore, Warren acts like it is an attack on her family, thereby shutting down challenges to...

I think it was a tremendous victory for Romney at the debate last night.  Usual caveats about there being a month to go, he still may be trailing in some key states, etc. Romney needed to take his case directly to the American people because the media is...

Have you learned to tune your t.v. immediately to MSNBC after any political event? If you haven't, you would have missed an epic rant tonight against Obama from *up tingles* Chris Matthews where he chastises Obama for simply "enduring" through the presidential debate: "I don't know...

Here are the tweets I selected during the debate. I score the first debate as a clear win for Romney. Obama was bumbling, Romney was on target with facts. Even Obama supporters -- the semi-honest ones -- were tweeting in despair.

Starts at 9 p.m. Eastern. This is just an open thread for people to make their feelings known.  I'm not going to "live blog" it. But I may jump in with some thoughts as it goes along, maybe at any breaks. And at the end, there will be...

The Brown campaign has been silent on the issue of Elizabeth Warren's broad and longstanding practice of law from her Cambridge office without being licensed in Massachusetts. I assume that the Brown campaign wanted to have all their legal ducks in a row before they jumped on...

Now about all those media memes about how the election was over. When Romney nominated Paul Ryan.  When Clint Eastwood talked to an empty chair.  When Romney didn't get enough of a convention bounce.  When Bill Clinton gave Obama a bounce.  When Romney was the only one...

Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is running for reelection in Illinois’s second congressional district.  Except he’s not exactly running. His name is on the ballot. But Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. hasn't made a campaign appearance since the primary. The Democratic congressman from Chicago is running for re-election for...

Haven't decided what to do for the debate, which starts at 9 p.m. Eastern. Live blog? Open thread? Nothing but post-analysis? So many people will be doing "live blogs" I'm wondering if it makes sense to do that here. What do you think? In any event, we will do...
