Well, well, well. President Obama should have been taking notes from Vice President Biden. Right out of the gate, he was on the offensive. Did he come off a little arrogant? You bet. But, it worked. It reminded me of when my parents and I argue. They get a look on their face like Vice… Continue reading

The First Debate
Contrary to what I previously suggested, the first presidential debate actually turned out to be not as much of a joint press conference as they have been in the past. By no means, however, did it reach the threshold of an actual debate. Governor Romney came out swinging, a strange move for him. President Obama… Continue reading
Debate?
As a follow up to my post last Friday on presidential debates and how they aren’t really debates but rather joint press conferences, with tonight being the first presidential debate between President Obama and Governor Romney, I’m going to take a look at whether the performance really even matters. As usual, the expectations game is being… Continue reading
Respect
This is a rare evening post but I felt so compelled to write and you’ll soon see why. I don’t think it’s any great secret that I prefer MSNBC. I watch in the evening and I listen on XM while in the car. Today, I was listening to Martin Bashir. Earlier today, a report surfaced… Continue reading
Swing State Polls
In a poll by Quinnipiac/NY Times/CBS released on September 26, it appears the Romney/Ryan campaign has some ground to make up. Among likely voters, President Obama holds a commanding lead in three key states: Florida (53-44); Ohio (53-43); Pennsylvania (54-42). People were polled September 18-25. One of the most staggering stats, and one Governor Romney… Continue reading
Week in Review
Governor Romney said he had to write off 47% of the population because they’re entitled and will always vote for President Obama. Representative Ryan will be speaking at UCF today. The Sunday talk show lineup: •NBC’s Meet the Press: Gov. Deval Patrick (D-MA); Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH); Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Bay Buchanan, senior Romney adviser; Joe… Continue reading
Libya
A US Ambassador and three others were killed in an attack on the US Embassy in Benghazi. This is not a time to play politics. Apparently, the Republicans did not get that memo. Just hours after the attack, Governor Romney held a press conference in Jacksonville in between campaign stops. At the press conference, Governor… Continue reading
Specifics
Specificity is usually provided for the benefit of the audience. Specificity is usually thought to be a good trait. However, in heated campaigns, specificity can come back to bite you. What do I mean? If you provide specifics about a topic (say, how you’re going to fix the economy or what changes you’re going to… Continue reading
Thinking Like a JD
On the last night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa, the surprise guest was Clint Eastwood. Many things have been said about his appearance and his speech. In fact, the moment he walked off stage, the RNC had already issued a statement attempting to distance themselves from him. I’m not going to regurgitate the… Continue reading
716
“Under the President’s plan, he cuts Medicare by $716 billion, takes that money out of the Medicare trust fund and uses it to pay for Obamacare.” Governor Romney continues the attacks on Medicare, attempting to scare the seniors, especially those in Florida, to vote for him because the President is going to take away their… Continue reading
