Don't expect it, even though there is good polling news today for Romney-Ryan, as detailed at Hot Air: Welcome to October! Today must be Poll Day, as media groups try to determine the lay of the land ahead of the first debate on Wednesday.  The new...

Recently on CNN, Newt Gingrich appeared with Piers Morgan to discuss what Mitt Romney needs to do in order to ensure his campaign's success. The advice was pretty simple: Do to Barack Obama what you did to me. As someone who was in the Newt camp since...

All the details and links at TaxProf Blog. Short version.  He made a lot, and gave a lot to charity. The interesting part: The campaign also released a statement from PriceWaterhouseCoopers on the Romneys’ tax filings over 20 years, from 1990 – 2009: In each year during the entire 20-year...

You remember Julia, the Obama campaign-issued woman who turned to government for help at various life stages.  Those stages aptly were summarized in Iowahawk's Julia's Circle of Life. Julia has come to symbolize the dependency state.  So I wondered what Julia must be thinking about Mitt Romney's...

I thought Romney gave an excellent speech. It had a good mix of soaring rhetoric without veering into Greek columns territory. Clearly the speech was intended to help neutralize the "war on women" theme, and I think it was effective.  I also was glad that the speech...

All you need to know about the media reaction can be summed up in one word:  JournoList. Same players still, just in more influential positions.  But that's for another day, maybe even tomorrow. Tonight I'm going to try not to let the stuck pigs distract me from...

I attended the Paul Ryan/Mitt Romney rally in Waukesha, WI, this past Sunday evening, where the crowd of nearly 10,000 mirrored other huge turnouts around the country. There was a group of about 15 protesters, organized by SEIU, Obama for America, and MoveOn.org, lining the entrance...

Anne is at the Romney-Ryan rally in Waukesha.  She says the crowd is so large they had to move the rally from indoors to outdoors to accommodate all the people. We're still trying to confirm the crowd size estimate.  (Campaign says 10,000, which is similar to...

The RNC is starting to treat conservatives the way the Chicago Cubs treats its fans. Long-suffering Cubs fans are sometimes referred to as the most loyal fans in baseball. Without a World Series win since 1908, and around 83% attendance rate, we are the "lovable losers"...

Romney's foreign trip is the mainstream media's coming out party in favor of Obama this electoral season, an obsessive nit-picking the likes of which Obama has not seen since ever. John Hinderaker has it right: The Most Striking Thing About Mitt Romney’s Overseas Trip… …has been the press coverage....

The cycle of perpetual outrage and victimhood continues. Mitt Romney pointed out something obvious, that Israel has a record of economic success unmatched by those under Palestinian Authority control, attributing it to cultural and other factors: "As you come here and you see the GDP per capita,...

Let me be as clear as I can be.  Anyone who supports Israel must vote for Romney.  Obama, in complete control of foreign and military policy, will be unrestrained by electoral considerations in a second term, and will impose his vision of a Middle East settlement...

This was almost the best day in the existence of those Obama supporters who dream every night about what they can do the next day to tag Mitt Romney as racist. They almost got what they wanted today, or so they thought, because The Telegraph newspaper...

Romney finally hit his stride at a speech today in Pennsylvania. And all President Obama had to do was attack the very nature of our governing philosophy and the hard work and ingenuity of the American people. It's well worth watching this clip, especially at the 3:44...

that both the Bain and tax return issues were entirely predictable and in fact predicted. No sense piling on, but remaining silent might be worse. Defenses of Bain which worked in the primaries -- you hate capitalism -- don't necessarily work in the general.  Show why Bain...
