Michelle Obama in a tug of war with Jimmy Fallon in the Blue Room of the White House. Really.
Why the payroll tax extension is really in jeopardy.
Obama describes the looming $500 million Koch/Rove attacks that made them rethink Super PACs.
TPM Reader Anon asks for a rethink …
I’m a long time reader. I gave several hundred dollars to the Obama campaign in 2008 (and am sure I was well over a thousand given to all Democrats I supported). I worry about conservative Catholic bishops. I worry about the GOP in this time of talk radio and Fox News. I fear greatly the possibility of the GOP winning in 2012. I am not a conservative, by any stretch of the imagination.
TPM Reader JW thinks he knows why Team Mitt went ballistic. (And I think he’s right.)
Ultimately Mitt’s primary campaign is based on electability. If Republican voters don’t think he is more likely to beat Obama, what is actually left for Mitt?
Obama campaign announces dramatic reversal on Super Pacs, will greenlight rivals to the mega-Super Pacs currently raising for the GOP nominee.
TPM Reader JR wonders what the Romney camp was thinking going so all out to discredit today’s ABC/WaPo poll …
I’ve followed with curiosity today Team Mitt’s complaint about the WaPo/ABC poll methodology on the horse race question.
It’s a very strange complaint that leaves me scratching my head as to what they hoped to gain from this, and how sincere their complaint really is.
What’s the latest on the Pete Hoekstra “Chinese” ad that’s been generating all the controversy? A follower on Twitter points out that in the html code on Hoekstra’s site the woman in the ad is identified as “yellowgirl.” I checked and sure enough he’s right.
It seems from the context that they might be referring to the yellow shirt the “Chinese” woman is wearing. But probably just another level of the unfortunateness.
