A new poll in the race for U.S. Senate in Connecticut shows Rep. Chris Murphy and Linda McMahon at 47 and 48 percent respectively.
Romney – the challenger – will be incredible. Obama – the incumbent – will be damaged. The question is, how severely he will be damaged?
Preparing for this debate has got to be the most depressing thing Obama has ever done. He must be staring at facts and figures that he can hardly believe – and then realize he has to defend them come Wednesday night – with his biggest critic, Mitt Romney – and the nation – staring at him. It's going to be terrible for Obama.
Unlike Obama, Mitt Romney has been talking about his plan to save Social Security on the campaign trail in the recent past. Though it is getting little to no coverage in the national press, it should be getting the positive "buzz" it deserves.
Obama has been moving the needle with seniors using distorted arguments about Social Security and Medicare. Fortunately for GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, seniors' top concern is the economy's struggles under Obama and seniors have overwhelming voted Republican in the last two presidential elections.
President Barack Obama is in favor of the extremely controversial idea of redistribution of the nation's wealth. Basically, Obama believes that everyone should "have a shot" at the good life and great opportunities in life whether they've worked for them or not – paid for by those who have acquired their wealth and success-related opportunities in life via hard work.
Romney thought he was talking amongst his teammates in the locker room last May 17 only to find out that there was somebody on the other team hiding behind the lockers. Had he known a member of the other team was lurking back there, he would have chosen his words more carefully and had presented more carefully-chosen data than the data of which he swiftly generalized.
The blatant lies and the desperate spins generated from the "left" have been absolutely frightening. What's extremely sad for them is that they don't have a prayer of keeping the White House without creating lies and spinning obvious negatives into self-reported positives.
Many who supported Obama in 2008 did so because they believed that he would help black Americans. The criticism four years later is that having a black president in the White House hasn't helped African Americans at all.
Mitt Romney and Bain Capital purchased a factory in China that took on the demand from outsourcing from other US companies. So they profited by increasing profits from companies they owned by shipping jobs overseas and they profited from other companies shipping jobs overseas by doing the work that used to be done in cities and towns across America.
Occupy Wall Street made the world aware of Wall Street's nearly-obscene inequities. But, unfortunately, that has been about it. How much has really changed because of the 12-month-old movement?
Republicans will continue to talk down the economy for the next two months specifically because they want the economy, and the country, to suffer in order to win an election.
On Monday, the Treasury Department sold 553,846,153 shares in AIG on Monday, turning an $18 billion profit on the $32.50 a share price.
Commonly referred to as "what goes around, comes around', the Republicans are finding plenty to take shots at as the Democrats conduct their week in the 'often dubious' political spotlight called "the Convention".
Tonight, when Vice President Biden and President Obama address the country the question before them is an obvious one: are we better off than we were four years ago? The answer is equally obvious: YES!
Sitting in the Time Warner Cable Arena last night I was struck by how different the Democratic National Convention was from the Republican event last week. Unlike the Republicans in Tampa, Democrats focused on the fight to preserve the middle class and the American Dream.
The billionaire independent mayor did not address whether he is better off than he was four years ago, but spoke broadly about the city's economy.
Mitt Romney's economic plan basically says if you make $22.50 an hour with benefits, you make too much money; and if you make $22.5 million, then you pay too much in taxes.
Instead of getting rowdy at a demonstration or protest regarding the lack of jobs throughout the country, people can voice their discontent with the nation's current unemployment rate on this Labor Day by simply placing an empty chair in their front yard.
Both Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan made statements about President Barack Obama. But how much truth was in them?
The White House Press Corps members finally got the White House Press Conference they've been shouting for. And they only have themselves to blame for letting Obama turn much of it into a campaign speech by the questions they did and didn't ask.
The state Treasury Department reports tax collections for July were $18 million below the $322 million budgeted for the month.
If you know you're not going to blindly support the "left" in this coming election, see the movie '2016: Obama's America'. But, fair warning, it's disturbing – and quite frightening – to say the least.
A new poll shows a downtick in how New Jersey residents view their quality of life.
Paul Ryan has changed the Electoral College math. With the pick, Romney has chosen a path that writes off almost all of the country and focuses the election on the industrial Midwest.
