Reading things like this will always get my blood to boiling temperature.
Thankfully, some courts are blocking the most egregious attempts from being enacted in time for November.

I would rather have Vilsack come back to Iowa, run for the Gov job he gave up and throw the piece of shit we have now out

Do you have a link to the full segment? I've only seen the part where she yells and would be interested in the context.

I think Schweitzer is a dark horse. Good speaker, appeals to moderates, and will appeal to the Iowa crowd better than the more city based candidates like O'Malley or (*yuck*) Gillibrand.
Warner seems like he'll be a major player as well. Popular businessman, governor, senator, would certainly carry Virginia, etc. I'm not a big fan but I'd certainly support him over Cuomo. Both are rich businessmen with corporate ties though.
I think the point is that if you were to speak in front of a high stakes national audience, you would want to ensure you know what you are talking about. Particularly since a real runner knows how important marathon times are in terms of personal achievement.
This goes to any topic, but this event stands out because he actually apologized for it, unlike the many other incorrect remarks by all politicians. The whole "wont be run by fact checkers" approach.

But you probably at least know +/- a half hour. He shaved off an entire hour.

Wow.
Romney has to be absolutely furious that the Eastwood speech took all attention away from what was probably his best speech yet.

ROFL! OMFG. I can't stop laughing. Has this happened before in history? Holy shit.
Don't get too excited. Their Romney vs. Obama chart is a 7 day rolling average. Their Obama approval rating is only a 3 day rolling average and Obama had a net 4% decrease in approval today, the biggest single day drop in a long while.

Chuck Todd said before the convention there would be no bounce because everyone has already made up their minds thanks to the huge amount of money already spent by both campaigns. He said it's basically Late October not Late August/Early September.

Yeah this. At the same time, however, even Rasmussen is giving Romney a very slight bounce.
It seems on average it'll be a 2 point bump.
Rasmussen has given Romney a 6 point bump so far (Obama was up 2 last tuesday, Romney up 4 today). I doubt Gallup's will be that high though.

Michigan's had a lot of junk polls and 538 has it as Safe Obama. Don't worry about it.
Wisconsin is closer, yeah, but that's to be expected.

Right, but there has been zero movement so far since the convention. Even with a 7 day average, any bump of any significance would have started showing by now, as the numbers have been stable for the past 10 days. It has been static since the last day of the convention.

And economic crash could swing things to Romney. But outside of that, I expect Obama to win this state. Especially after the debates where Obama can finally confront Romney about the auto bailout
Yep, same with PA. Regardless of the voter ID laws, he's safe.
And linking back to the HRC POTUS talk, I'd absolutely love for her to make a go of it. I don't think the age thing will be a problem as she'd assuredly win the primary, there's no GOP opposition out there that could take her down at this point (as said, she's done stellar work as SOS and more popular than ever) and all that Clinton scandal stuff would be 20-years-old at that point.
My gut feeling is that she does eventually run, but obviously, we'll have to wait and see.

I would say MI/PA/WI going for Romney is about as likely as AZ/IN/MO going for Obama.
I bet Obama must be counting the days till the first debate. Considering that he doesn't think much of Romney, he must really want to lay into him about all the lies being thrown out in his ads.

The VP debate should be pretty interesting. It'll be a challenge for Ryan, since they're not going to discuss the economy and just stick with foreign and domestic policies.

"I hired thirty hookers and sent them into Ron Paul's speech at the Sun Dome wearing these really skintight low-cut Gary Johnson T-shirts — they weren't hookers they were dancers, exotic dancers, pardon me. I sent them because they wouldn't let us in."
"Why wouldn't Ron Paul let you into his speech?
Because Ron would like to hand the franchise off to Rand. The Pauls are about money. They raised $47 million, and at least 5 of it was spent on the campaign. And a lot of the rest of it went into the pockets of Rand Paul family members and other hangers-on. It's a great franchise, so we're gonna try to hand the franchise to the idiot son. It's not going to work, because when this is over, I think Johnson will have greater cache."

My reign as the most retweeted GAFer amongst the media continues
I really need to stop engaging with conservatives I know. I showed him the Forbes piece on how Obama has spent less than any president since Eisenhower, and he refused to acknowledge that it is true and eventually asking another liberal person in the conversation how they sleep at night knowing they support murderers. When someone devolves into that lazy abortion bullshit because they dont want to talk about the issue at hand because they want to "win" they aren't even worth engaging.
Technically speaking I'm pretty sure he didnt spend less. His spending went up at a slower rate. So, make sure you're getting that part right.

Obama crowd in Colorado. With this and his crowd in Iowa yesterday, I think people's initial concerns about whether or not he can still draw big crowds can be put to rest. What's the biggest crowd for a regular Romney campaign stop so far?

Would be easier to trust what this guy was saying if he was smart enough to make sure that he, his family, and other service members were protected when releasing this information. Now his name is on an al Qaeda site and that is a chance that other people can become targets due to this stupid mistake.
I really do get sick and tired of people like Romney and Donald Trump getting patted on the back for being wealthy when they were born into wealth. It's a lot easier to be successful when you have powerful connections and a trust fund.
Reminds me of when I watch the Apprentice and suddenly realize that all the judges and managers are Trump's kids.
President Bush allowed abortions under his watch and funded Planned Parenthood. How did your friend sleep at night for 8 years?

Keep in mind that is a low end estimate as Paul accepts donations in troy ounces.
I don't see how. Anyone who published pics or names would get the press death sentence pretty much
