I'vebeen asked by my sons' scoutmaster to watch tomorrow night's debate with my 11-year-old sons and the rest of the Boy Scout troop and provide my expert advice. Should be fun, but I'm on pins and needles, as I'm more anxious about tomorrow night than any other night in the campaign.Tomorrow night is the only ... Read more

This morning, I was recounting what I thought of last night's debate to a woman who became frustrated that I wasn't saying anything about Paul Ryan's performance. Enough about Biden, she kept asking; how did Ryan do? But you couldn't say enough about Biden. The debate was all about Biden.So here's the deal. If ... Read more

Nowthe Obama administration insists that the crude anti-Islamic YouTube trailer had nothing to do with the attack on our embassy in Benghazi. Um, OK. But when the president spoke to the United Nations last month, he once again took occasion to condemn the video and insist that “[t]he future must not belong to those who ... Read more

Look,it's not complicated. America's had a lousy four years, but they still weren't willing to abandon Obama until they were comfortable with the other guy. The debate made them realize Romney's a more-than-acceptable alternative, so now the president finds himself swimming upstream.

Homer Simpson, however, is more sanguine. "So there's a comet, big deal," he says. "It'll burn up in our atmosphere, and whatever's left will be no bigger than a ... Read more

SoI'm going to dictate this post via Siri and then edit it later. Should be fun. [Corrections appear in brackets.]Tuning out of politics for just a few days is very good for your personal constitution. I highly recommend it. Looking at all the opinion pieces from the weekend until now, it's clear I didn't miss ... Read more

Didyou know that in all of these latest polls showing Obama winning in a walk, Romney leads among independents by a wide, often double-digit margin? Just consider that for a moment. Obama trounced McCain among independents last time out. Now independents are solidly behind Mitt, but Obama's still going to glide to victory because scads ... Read more

Afriend on Facebook cited the president's commanding lead on Intrade today - 72 to Romney's 27 - in an attempt to shake my faith in Romney's chances. (This isn't the main point of this post, but I do find it remarkable how many Obamaites are genuinely perturbed by my confidence that a Romney victory is ... Read more

Inmy online travels, I came across the following Facebook update from a woman who's no fans of the Mormons:

I'm sick of hearing Christians saying they are voting for Romney because he believes in God. Seriously guys, do you even know what Mormonism is? I suggest you look into it because he does not believe
