With Mitt Romney on the defensive, a new trio of state polls shows how serious the challenge might be for him in the coming weeks.
Last week Romney had yet another gaffe and error filled week. Week after week Romney and his campaign can't get it together.
President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden are going for the "campy" image which screams "we're just regular guys" on the 2012 campaign trail. America has never seen the final stretch of a presidential campaign like Obama and Biden are presenting this time around.
As unfortunate as the events are, Romney's comments about Obama ring true. Prior to the tragic event and even after, President Obama appears to excuse and apologize for the horrendous events that take place in the world – including those against Americans.
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.
What a difference four horrendous years makes. Thinking back to the Democratic National Convention of 2008 and now seeing what's going on in Charlotte, North Carolina this week at the Democratic National Convention of 2012 shows stark differences. The Democrats have no star power and pale in comparison to the Republicans' star-packed convention in Tampa.
In an odd turn of events, the Republicans in Tampa nominated real life versions of their cartoon versions of Kerry and Gore. Republicans thought John Kerry should be criticized for changing positions. But Kerry is not in the same league as Romney who ran as a pro-choice candidate and promised to do more for gay rights than Ted Kennedy.
While Paul Ryan is entitled to his own opinions, he is not entitled to his own facts. He lied to America about Medicare. He lied to America about the debt commission. He really lied to America about the stimulus and America's debt rating.
Paul Ryan had his moment at the RNC Wednesday night - and he seized it.
Our economy is on a slow recovery – slower than anyone wants. But the lack of serious discussion about national security and the world we live in is troubling.
From the Republican National Convention in Tampa, FL, Chris talks to Jeff Roe and Michael Bronstein on the Monday Morning Matchup, Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel, and for Ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton.
In the campaign, the voices of the Republican Party are speaking out.
In Tampa, the storm is causing a scheduling mess for the Republican National Convention.
Chris prepares for his trip to the Republican National Convention next week. He talks to Steve Cordasco on Finance Friday, and the new President of the Eagles, Don Smolenski.
The latest CBS News-Quinnipiac University-New York Times Poll shows a probable dramatic race to the finish line.
Chris interviews Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan at rally in West Chester. He also talks to Ann Coulter about her new book, Mugged, which is out in September, and voices his opposition to Todd Akin staying in his race for Senate in Missouri.
The basic fact is that Romney, Ryan and Republican's are uncomfortable with a few of the words Congressman Akin used. They are not, however, uncomfortable with the policy position he was expressing. The record shows that they march in lockstep with Congressman Akin.
NJ Sen. Frank Lautenberg calls it a "reverse Robin Hood" plan -- taking from the middle class to give tax breaks to the wealthy.
Chris previews his interview later today with Vice-Presidential Candidate Paul Ray and thinks that the Republican Senate Candidate in Missouri, Todd Akin, should drop out of the race after his comments about rape and abortion. He also talks to Senate Candidate from New Jersey, Joe Kyrillos, about the Akin affair and his race against Bob Menendez.
Congressman Akin's comments are unconscionable and while Congressman Akin owns the words that came from his mouth, the sentiment and his policy goals are shared by both Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan, despite their statements today.
Chris recounts following Paul Ryan being named Mitt Romney's Vice-Presidential candidate and the week of media coverage while he was on vacation. He also talks to Jeff Roe and Michael Bronstein on the Monday Morning Matchup, Phillies Manager Charlie Manuel, and to the Chairman of the RNC, Reince Priebus.
Mitt Romney's gamble of putting Paul Ryan on the ticket has produced a result in Ryan's home state of Wisconsin.
The fact that Joe Biden is only a heartbeat away from the presidency should not only scare the hell out of every American, it should be reason enough for the Romney-Ryan ticket to win the 2012 election by a landslide.
