The wheels on the Obama bus are falling off. Unless someone can bring up an October surprise which allows the careening vehicle to hit Romney, the momentum is unmistakably against Obama. The man on the bus just unveiled a strategy of re-introducing himself to the American people --...

It truly is hard to overstate the joy on the left with Obama's horses and bayonets "zinger" last night. This summary at HuffPo reflected the joy: There were no binders full of women at the final presidential debate on Monday, but there were certainly horses and bayonets. President Barack...

Dear Gov. Romney: I apparently disagree with many (most?) of my philosophical compatriots in my assessment of your performance last night.  They think you did much better than I think you did.  But that’s no surprise.  We disagreed after both of the previous debates, too. Why is...

This was a strange debate. It was as if Romney were the incumbent and Obama was the challenger. I felt that Romney was running out the clock from the start, trying not to make any gaffes, proving he is worldly and reasonable. Obama was the aggressor, both in words and demeanor. To that extent, Obama scored "points" but not points that ultimately make a difference. If Obama's job was to disqualify Romney as a potential President, someone too reckless for the job, Obama completely failed. Which means that for Romney, tonight was Mission Accomplished. Tonight's debate will not change the trajectory of the election, and that is good for Romney. Here's how I summed it up: Here are the tweets as the action happened:

Starts at 9 p.m. Eastern. This should be fun.  Obama has to attack Romney, he just has to.  The momentum is going Romney's way.  A draw, nothing changes result is big for Romney. In theory this debate has the least risk for Romey, but I think that...

Each day until Election Day we will feature a previously unpublished photo sent in by a Legal Insurrection reader on National Empty Chair Day, September 3, 2012. The countdown continues with 16 days to go. Today’s Empty Chair photos were all taken by Glenn in Ohio (note: not "Oiho" as the Empty Chair Prez spells it).  They are all so good that I couldn't pick just one. First up, the Empty Chair in the empty field begs for a caption:

"Field of Obama's Dreams of His Father"? Maybe "You didn't build that, so no, they won't come"? Next up is the Empty Chair in the outhouse.

I'm not sure how I'd caption this, but the message seems rather clear.
