As I see it, the big Romney “I got religion, who could ask for anything more” speech is a clear sign that he has entered the phase of the campaign where he can now be ranked with the bottom dwellers. He has a weakness and he accentuated that. He has no clear and compelling strength so it looks all down hill for him to me.

Mitt’s Big Faith Speech
Everyone’s talking about Mitt Romney’s big “faith” speech today. You know, the one where he talked about how he won’t let the Mormon Church dictate how he runs the country, if elected president.

Earlier I posted Wes Clark’s new Hillary Clinton ad for Iowa. Now it’s time to take a peek at Barack Obama’s new Iowa ad: “Our Moment Is Now’: As Greg Sargent notes on TPM Election Central: The ad never mentions Hillary, but it features footage of him again making the case here that she is too encumbered with baggage to be the game-changer he is. Obama closes the ad with: “I don’t wanna spend the next year or the...
Ten Post Round-Up: Living In Denial
Still a lot of chatter about Iran and the implications of the NIE and yet, the world still turns and every day life still goes on, as if in denial. I have work, tonight. As my business is mostly hosting karaoke, one of my main chores is finding music that people want to sing, whether they realize it or not. It’s actually a lot of fun because I come across songs I didn’t realize that I wanted to sing,...
