| Conservatives had hoped that Mitt Romney’s choice of House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (Wis.) as his running mate would make Romney act more like Ryan — bold, specific, confident. Instead, in the six weeks since Ryan became the GOP vice presidential nominee — and particularly in the three weeks since the Republican National Convention — there has been mounting concern among Republicans that the pick has made Ryan look more like Romney — vague, cautious and limited to preset talking points.

I am always amazed at the solicitous nature of liberal pubs like the Post when they worry about how Republican campaigns are faring. S/
You don't suppose their concern is really just an excuse to push the agreed-upon narrative that Romney/Ryan can't possibly win against Obama/Biden, do you?

Trucker Observation: Romney's got balance. Media whores have fallen and can't get up. After the elections Conservatives will practice new entertainment without the alphabets, without Hollywood and without Obama and his Democrats.

So the fact that Scott Walker and others are concerned about the lack of message by Romney, they are just in the tank for Obama?

The same retreaded story of the McCain/Palin campaign. Fingers pointed and a great gnashing of teeth. Wash Post doesn't write a story as much as retype stories that worked against Republicans in the past.

Glad to see this article balances out all those "Biden supporters sorely disappointed with the Obama campaign trajectory" stories rolling around.
Phew!
What's that? What do you mean "there are no articles?" No articles like the Biden one I mention?
Not a single one? Zero? Hmmm, imagine that...

Walker said that, among other places, on Charlie Sykes ( another obvious leftist Obamaphile) last last week, reiterated in the Milwaukee Journal. Sykes has it linked. Journal article was posted last week by some brave soul.
But again, this is not a forum for discussion, it is a pep rally among those applauding as the Romney bus slowly rolls off a cliff.

The Elitist/Establishment Rinos pushed Romney, after all the others they pursued said "No". So we are stuck with their 4th choice. The 'broke' it,now they 'own' it. They need to get over themselves and support their 4th or 5th choice. They expect the rest of us to carry their water for them!

The Wah-Poooooooo is a fully owned subsidiary of the DNC. As ordered, they try to plant doubt and division among Republican voters every chance they get.
Nope, not biting. As always, I will crawl naked over broken glass and AIDS infected needles with Mikey Moore and Helen Thomas strapped to my back to vote N∅bama out of office!!!!

To paraphrase an old saw. 'Tell me who your friends (fans) are and I'll tell you a lot about yourself'. W/fans like these, Romney hardly needs enemies. But lets not belabour the negative, since it's Romney in a landslide, er...isn't it? Fact is, whatever dynamism exists in his campaign emenates from the likes of Ryan, Walker and TP types, a simple home truth; in contrast to the establishment gang, those humourless, insecure and timid drones surrounding Romney. Upon reflection, I'll bet that Dean Swift had his mind's eye on threads like these when he created Gulliver's Yahoos.

If there were an alternate universe where OP gets to pick the nominee, I suspect I would find it a congenial place. Since I live in a universe where my choices are Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, my vote goes to Mitt. None of which should preclude anyone from offering their candid assessment of current events. Ad hominem attacks on fellow L-Dotters are unbecoming.

We are in the midst of the worst Washington scandal since Watergate. The reputation of the Obama White House has, among conservatives, gone from sketchy to sinister, and, among liberals, from unsatisfying to dangerous. No one likes what they´re seeing. The Justice Department assault on the Associated Press and the ugly politicization of the Internal Revenue Service have left the administration´s credibility deeply, probably irretrievably damaged. They don´t look jerky now, they look dirty. The patina of high-mindedness the president enjoyed is gone. Something big has shifted.

Before Washington was rocked in recent days by an assortment of brewing scandals, immigration reform was at center stage. And immigration reform will surely return shortly to the heart of Washington debates as Congress considers legislation proposed by Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio and his bipartisan "Gang of 8" colleagues. Their bill would normalize the status of millions of illegal, mostly Hispanic immigrants. This has stimulated a vigorous debate among conservatives over the cost of reform, mostly in the form of public services for those with low skills and high needs.

There is a keen Kennedy-like vigor to Joe Biden that overwhelms any room. As was once said of Theodore Roosevelt, he, too, wants to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral. Unlike President Obama, who speaks in interviews with Hemingway-esque sparseness, Biden rambles like Thomas Wolfe, painting a robust picture of an ever-changing America where coal miners will soon be working in clean-tech jobs, gun-safety laws will be tougher and China will be reined in by the White House from poisoning the planet with megatons of choking pollutants.

Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, is facing fresh scrutiny over her political activities in the former East Germany, with a book alleging she took part in the Communist regime’s propaganda activities. Ms Merkel is the first chancellor to come from the German Democratic Republic. As a physicist in the 1980s she was a member of the communist youth organisation “Freie Deutsche Jugend” at the Academy of Sciences in Eastern Berlin and was in charge of “agitation and propaganda”, the journalists Ralf Georg Reuth and Günther Lachmann claim in their book The First Life of Angela M.

The controversy embroiling the IRS kicked up another storm of rhetoric Monday over enforcement of campaign finance laws. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell connected allegations that the IRS improperly targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny to a Democratic-led effort to expand campaign finance disclosure requirements known as the DISCLOSE Act. McConnell told the National Review that the bill to require corporations, unions and super PACS to report large expenditures “should go nowhere.”

According to Politico, Anthony Weiner has hired one staffer in preparation for his run for mayor of New York City. Two sources said that they couldn’t tell Politico the staffer’s name or what position he/she will assume under the former Congressman. The revelation follows weeks of speculation that Weiner is seeking a redemptive run for the mayor’s office. Speculation has raged that he has been looking for potential aides and staffers. Although Weiner’s pollster, Joel Benenson, has been hired by New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn, Weiner’s ad man, Jim Margolis of GMMB,

For nearly eight months now, Republicans in Congress have been confounded by the apparent lack of public interest in, or concern about, what actually happened in the Sept. 11, 2012 Libyan terrorist attacks in Benghazi that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans. But Wednesday’s dramatic hearing by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee shined new light on the issue. It brought out more details of possible Obama administration mismanagement while the attacks were underway and potential coverup in its aftermath.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

U.S. Sen. John McCain bucked the party line coming from many of his fellow conservatives this morning, saying suggestions that compare the trio of scandals gripping the White House to Watergate are “overreaching.” “I think it’s overreaching. We need a full and complete investigation and then we will decide the dimensions of it,” said McCain while campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez in Dorchester. “It is terrible but we have to have a full investigation before we leap to conclusions.” The maverick’s caution is a sharp contrast to the response of many Republicans
