The discussion in the video below (h/t jimzinsocal) is pretty good on where the campaign stands. Krauthammer is hard on Romney for failing to score hard blows on Obama over the economy, something echoed by Bill Kristol. Am I concerned? Sure. At least based on chatter, it looks like...

Obama endlessly cites the loss of 750,000 "per month" just before he took office, as if that bottom was destined to be continued forever but for Obama. It's the extrapolation fallacy. This video pretty much sums up the theme: Yet why shouldn't Obama own at least some of...

You know the routine from That $3 dinner with Obama may cost you hundreds in taxes. The Obama campaign lures unsuspecting small donors into entering a contest for a nominal amount (no donation actually required), and only in the fine print discloses the "retail value" of...
