The Blaze: Former Vice President Al Gore on Wednesday suggested a curious culprit was to blame for President Barack Obama’s lackluster debate performance: Denver’s high altitude. “Obama arrived in Denver at 2 p.m. today, just a few hours before the debate started,” Gore said on Current TV. “Romney did his debate prep in Denver. When you go to 5,000 feet and you only have a few hours to adjust —

Let me reiterate: I think Romney won last night’s debate handily. I’m just not sure it will have that much of an impact besides a temporary bounce in the polls. And that’s because, in my opinion, the Romney campaign has not been tough enough to this point — while the Obama campaign continues to define for the American public who “Romney” is. To that end, three things: first, John McCain,

Wisconsin Reporter: The question felt like a sucker punch, taking Angela Boozhoo’s breath away. Boozhoo and her husband had just missed a mortgage payment — their first missed payment on their house. She’s a homemaker, with four children at home, now looking for a job, and her husband, Patrick, a metal fabricator has been out of work since February. “We’re nervous. This is the first month we’ve fallen behind,” the

Just watched the debate. Not sure why people are saying Romney won so convincingly. Obama, with few exceptions, bullshitted his way through things just fine. And Romney too often sounded like a me-too statist. Objectively, Romney won on the points and particulars, and he had several strong moments.

Post whatever you feel like posting here. Because most everyone has made up his or her mind at this point — except for maybe Ann Althouse and Colin Powell. And frankly, I don’t care what either does with their votes. It’s just that I’ll be damned if I’m going to let Ms Althouse hedge her bet, vote for Obama yet again, and then blame people like me for pushing her

No, not the speech — all that is is Obama in 2002 preaching covert class warfare and leaving open a justification for violence against the rich, or rather, an empathy toward the root causes that brought it on. Rather, what’s ugly is the fact that someone found it and posted it. How galling! And after the Daily Caller’s temerity of last evening, posting the full Obama speech that had previously

Competition — be it in the marketplace of ideas or in speech or even in certain sectors of the economy (think health care) — is just so…messy. Much like liberty. And the reason is, once the technocrats and central planners have done their Google homework and learned everything there is to know about, eg., nutrition, or global climate change, then there really is no reason to pretend to consider other
