Paul Ryan arrives in Central Pennsylvania Saturday, Mitt Romney to Bucks County Sunday and Bill Clinton to the Philadelphia area Monday.
As the campaign draws to a close it has become very apparent that Obama will return to the White House and that Harry Reid will lead a Democratic Senate.
If you're still looking for a reason to decide on which candidate to vote for, think about Obamacare and the fact that one report after another clearly shows that it's going to cost the nation much, much more than originally stated by President Obama and his administration.
The newspapers that are not endorsing President Barack Obama are extremely brave. They are to be positively recognized for their courage to stand up against the onslaught of the liberal media which refuses to speak in the best interest of the country as the presidential election nears.
In the final days of the campaign for president, Pennsylvania's 20 electoral votes are suddenly looming large.
Chris details Mitt Romney's visit to Bucks County this weekend, the continuing aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, and the indictment of former Penn State President, Graham Spanier. He talks to Steve Gates, from the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday, CBS 3's Beasley Reece to preview the Eagles Monday night game in New Orleans, and Steve Moore from the Wall Street Journal.
In an effort to make voting a little easier for New Jersey residents in the aftermath of Sandy, Governor Chris Christie announced the deadline for county clerks to accept mail-in ballot applications has been extended to the close of business on Friday, November 2.
Now, the question is: Is the country better off than it was four years ago? Anyone – including you – can answer that question.
Governor Christie went out of his way to praise the work that the President and his administration are doing, something that he got a lot of credit for...outside of the right-wing blogosphere.
As odd as it seems, President Barack Obama and Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey are in the midst of a marvelous "bromance".
Whether it's because college kids are getting smarter or have just found better things to do with their energy and time over the past four years, there is a survey result which indicates that President Barack Obama's "star power" among the young is fading drastically in 2012 as compared to 2008.
Consider the economy, the job market, the recent horrendous occurrences in the Middle East before voting for a person because of his race, his social-issue promises, or any other rather selfish reasons.
Chris assesses the damage and response to Hurricane Sandy. He discusses the crossover of the political response to the hurricane into presidential campaign and the status of Pennsylvania as a fading blue state. He also talks to Politico's Kevin Cirlli and Maureen Ferguson from the Catholic Association.
A new Franklin and Marshall Poll shows that Republican Mitt Romney is now within striking distance of President Obama in Pennsylvania.
When the storm and its headlines have passed, however, the questions about the Benghazi tragedy should continue full force as November 6 continues to near. During the much-needed questioning and impending investigation, it would be grand if President Obama would remain presidential throughout the process.
Romney was asked at a presidential debate whether FEMA should be shut down in light of the deficit. Romney replied that FEMA should "absolutely" be shut down. He was asked specifically if that included disaster relief. He replied that it was "immoral" to provide such relief in the face of "larger debts", emphasizing that "it makes no sense at all" to have such programs.
By now it's obvious that Obama and his administration did not handle the situation correctly. Rather than taking a presidential stance during the horrendous incident, Obama kept his mind and actions on his 2012 reelection campaign and tried to alter the obvious reasons for the deadly attack.
Chris covers every angle of the aftermath from Hurricane Sandy. He talks to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett and reviews the steps he and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie took to keep people safe and restore services. He also talks to CBS 3's Jenn Bernstein and Walt Hunter in Atlantic City.
Auto manufacturing is back in America – especially in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania because President Obama made the politically risky decision to bailout the auto industry after bailing out the banks. It was a decision that worked. Obama was right, Romney was wrong. So Romney is now in full lying mode. He is trying to retroactively re-write the wrongs in his writings.
Yes, it's great that all turned out well for the auto workers, but it is absolutely horrendous to know that the American taxpayers via President Obama's actions could have been left standing for billions of dollars – and still might.
Now, this early voting trend that is sweeping the country is getting as ridiculous as being gifted for Christmas or one's birthday 35 days in advance. There is much "shifty" benefit for the Democrats since they're pushing for it.
With just over a week to go before the election, the candidates zero in on the swing states. Here's a look at the latest poles in those crucial battlegrounds.
The 2012 presidential campaign between President Obama and Mitt Romney will be book-ended by hurricanes.
Both political parties – Republicans and Democrats – are known for getting carelessly carried away with name calling when stakes and tensions are high in the political arena. Regardless, there is no excuse for the type of name-calling that has surfaced over the past week.
Chris reviews last night's event at the Constitution Center with Ann Coulter. He talks to Rick Santorum about the presidential election and whether or not Pennsylvania is in play. He also talks to Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday and CBS 3's Beasley Reece to preview this weekend's Eagles matchup.
