Tonight is the third and final Presidential Debate. Tonights debate takes place in Boca Raton Florida and Focuses on Foreign Policy issues. The debate will be carried live on most major networks. C-SPAN does a great job of coverage without the noise of punditry.
Please share your thoughts and opinions in the comment section as you watch the debate.
This is a very well organized, informative and well presented in depth report on the Benghazi attack in Libya.
You know the water cooler coversation at NBC is in meltdown angst over the pending defeat of their Dear Leader when you see unglued stuff like this on the airwaves.
One can easily imagine the internal ideological anxiety amid the production staff facing the abject defeat anticipated in the land of all things progressive….. But, this is ridiculous.
Gallup poll showing Mitt Romney taking a 52-46 percent lead over Barack Obama nationally. “It’s over. If these numbers are true, it’s over,” Beckel said.
A really awesome speech tonight at the Alfred E Smith dinner by Mitt Romney. This really is not only funny, but the points are absolutely well placed. I had no idea they could script something so well. It really is incredibly well written and executed. Enjoy…
(From Complex ) Earlier today, [actually two days ago now] a website claiming to have potentially damning information about one of the presidential candidates appeared on the web: Calling itself An October Surprise, the site is pretty bare save for the text, “One of your presidential candidates isn’t being honest with you.

Turns out, however, the website may not be exactly what it seems. (more…)
Two weeks ago the Obama/Bill Burton SuperPac pulled resources from Florida and Wisconsin which was viewed as resetting the fire line. Now the Obama campaign hints at shifting focus away from NC, FL, VA and potentially CO.
(Via National Journal) […] What also became clear after the dust began to settle from the rumble on Long Island was the electoral map has narrowed and Obama’s team, while conceding nothing publicly, is circling the wagons around Ohio, Iowa, New Hampshire, and Nevada. Plouffe said that Obama remains strong in all four states, but he would not discuss the specifics of internal polling or voter-contact analytics, saying only that Obama has “significant leads” in all four places.

Joe Biden says he sits with President Obama every day for four to six hours. Granted they are probably not sitting, but the fact Biden could state he is “with” the President for four to 6 hours a day is profoundly disconcerting.
Last year I read the Reagan Diaries, which, by the way, I highly recommend. One of the key takeaways I noted was how important it was to Ronald Reagan, and his Vice-President George Bush, to coordinate a two-hour lunch together every Thursday no matter what.
Both Reagan and Bush’s schedules were so busy with executive management challenges they rarely were able to see one another and discuss events, policy, and strategy. They made their Thursday lunches a central component of their cohesion. It was their time to catch up, plan, coordinate and organize their approach to challenges. (more…)
