<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Let’s apply Rasmussen’s voting percentages to
CNN’s polling results assuming 1,000 voters made up of 390 Democrats, 240
Independents and 370 Republicans. Voting for President Obama, we would have 363
Democrats (93 percent of 390), 89 Independents (37 percent of 240), and 4
Republicans (1 percent of 370), for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a
total of 456 votes</b>. Voting for Gov. Romney, we would have 366 Republicans
(99 percent of 370), 134 Independents (56 percent of 240), and 20 Democrats (5
percent of 390) for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a total of 520 votes</b>.
So, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">President Obama would get 46 percent
of the vote and Governor Romney would get 52 percent</b>, again, a huge Romney
victory.</div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Why do I
think this when the polls continue to forecast a close race? Two reasons.
First, because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the <a href="http://pjmedia.com/rogerkimball/2012/11/05/reflections-on-mittmentum-with-an-assist-from-aristotle/">air long ago went out of the Obama campaign</a></b>. “But where,” you ask, “is the data for that? What do
the numbers say?” I have no doubt that data could be assembled and expressed
numerically. But <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">asking for data about
the state of the Obama campaign is like asking for proof that a body lying on
the sidewalk with a stake through its heart is dead.</b> Evidence comes
in many forms, and some of the most compelling forms are bluntly empirical.
(A point that Aristotle noted in the </i><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;">Nicomachean Ethics </span></em><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">when
he noted that different subjects admit different levels of precision and that
it is a sign of wisdom to demand only the level of precision which the subject
under discussions requires.) Do you know </i><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-theme-font: major-fareast;">anyone </span></em><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">who
believes the Obama campaign has traction? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">You don’t need a statistic to issue a death certificate</b>.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The second
reason I predict a handy victory for Romney-Ryan ticket is likewise rudely
empirical. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Look at the rallies</b>.
Note the number of “Romney-Ryan” signs, buttons, and insignia you see around —
and note, too, who’s sporting that paraphernalia.</i></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Democrats
are already worried about the early vote counts in Wisconsin. The fact that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama is now depressing turnout for free

Springsteen can attract 84,000 paying customers just a few hours away in
Chicago. </i></div>

Obama is getting clobbered with independent voters, traditionally the largest
variable in any election and especially in a presidential election, where both
sides will usually have sophisticated, well-funded turnout operations in the field.
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">He's on track to lose independents by
double digits</b> nationally, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the
last three candidates to do that were Dukakis, Mondale and Carter in 1980</b>.
And <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">he's not balancing that with any
particular crossover advantage</b> (i.e., drawing more crossover Republican
voters than Romney is drawing crossover Democratic voters). Similar trends are
apparent throughout the state-by-state polls, not in every single poll but in

the poll samples used by some (but not all) pollsters. Thus, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Obama's

recent-historic lows in 2008 in the key swing states (Ohio, Wisconsin,
Colorado) and nationally, because the post-2008 elections, the party
registration data, the early-voting and absentee-ballot numbers, and the
Rasmussen and Gallup national party-ID surveys (both of which have solid track
records) all point to this conclusion. I stand by my view that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">no countervailing evidence outside of poll
samples shows a similar surge </b></i><em><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">above 2008 levels</span></b></em><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> in

advantage with independents and increased GOP voter turnout</b>. And I stand by

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">It hasn't gotten too much attention outside of talk radio, but <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">if accurate, Gallup's study of early
voters neutralizes one of the Obama campaign's best road-to-victory talking points</b>.
As it conducted tracking polls (which have been paused for now), Gallup asked
voters whether they'd cast ballots or intended to before election day. <a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2012/10/30/this_early_vote_calculation_from_gallup_looks_terrible_for_obama.html"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The early voters broke 52-46 for Mitt Romney.</b></a> The dawdling voters who would vote before election day were tied,
49-49. The voters waiting for November 6 broke for Romney, again, by a 6-point
margin.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">This would be easy to explain away if Obama had lagged in 2008's early
vote. After all, this study includes votes in Georgia and Texas and other
places that have broken away from Obama. But . . . <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in 2008, Obama was winning this vote</b>. An identical Gallup study
taken around the same time gave <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama a
53-43 lead with early voters</b> and a 50-44 lead on voters who would wait for
election day.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Remember, "If votes cast on Election Day decided the 2008
election, McCain would have won in Florida, Colorado, North Carolina and
Iowa." That's how central the early vote is to Obama's strategy.</i></div>

campaign occurred for me in a screening room. The film was Rory Kennedy’s
documentary about her mother, Ethel — the widow of Robert F. Kennedy. Much of
it consisted of Kennedy-family home movies, but also film of RFK in Appalachia
and in Mississippi among the pitifully emaciated poor<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">. Kennedy brimmed with shock and indignation, with sorrow and sympathy,</b>
and was determined — <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">you could see it on
his face — to do something about it. </b></span></i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/richard-cohen-obama-the-president-who-seems-not-to-care/2012/10/29/a52246a0-21e2-11e2-ac85-e669876c6a24_story.html?tid=pm_opinions_pop">I’ve never seen that look on Barack Obama’s face</a>.</span></i></b></div>

well-spoken, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a sort of irrational furor
at “the system” governs their political make-up.</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Why don’t degrees and vocabulary always translate into <a href="http://pjmedia.com/victordavishanson/why-liberals-think-what-they-do/">big money</a>?</b>
Why does sophisticated pontification at Starbucks earn less than mindlessly
doing accounting behind a desk? We saw this tension with Michelle Obama who,
prior to 2009, did not quite have enough capital to get to Aspen or Costa del
Sol, and thereby, despite the huge power-couple salaries, Chicago mansion, and
career titles, felt that others had far too much more than the Obamas. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">“Never been proud,” “downright mean
country,”</b> “raise the bar,” etc., followed, as expressions of yuppie angst.
The more one gets, the more one believes he should get even more, and the
angrier he gets that another — less charismatic, less well-read, less
well-spoken — always seems to get more.</span></i></div>

unread coal plant manager, the crass car dealer, or the clueless mind who farms
1000 acres of almonds should not make more than the sociology professor, the
kindergarten teacher, the writer, the artist, or the foundation officer. What
sort of system would allow the dense and easily fooled to become better
compensated (and all for what — for superfluous jet skis and snowmobiles?) than
the anguished musician or tortured-soul artist, who gives so much to us and
receives so much less in return? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What a
sick country — when someone who brings chain saws into the Sierra would make
more than a UC Berkeley professor who would stop them.</b></span></i><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></b></div>

<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There was that time that Obama got
roughly <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">$90 billion for green energy
jobs</b>, or green energy “investments,” as he calls them, which were touted to
save us billions of dollars in imported oil and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">create 5 million green energy jobs.</b></i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b> </i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“The American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 set aside $90 billion in renewable energy grants and
loans for a grab bag of thousands of projects—wind farms, solar installations,
natural gas fueling stations, biofuel research, and a $5 billion weatherization
project for low-income homes,” reports BusinessWeek.com.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“Digging into the public records of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">$21 billion spent so far through 19 U.S.
Department of Energy programs reveals 3,960 projects that employ 28,854
people.” </b></i><br />

<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Four more years? No, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">at that rate it would take 693 years</b>
for Obama to create 5 million green energy jobs at the rate he created them
over the first four years. And at the current cost, Obama <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">would have to spend $3.6 trillion just to create those jobs</b>. </i><br />

a fascinating article if you are a geek.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The fast version is that you had a man name Nate Silver who in 2008
built a complex math model that called the correct outcome in 49 of 50 states.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you saw the movie Moneyball, he based his
model on </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sabremetrics
derived from a nearly 20-year old group known as the Society for American
Baseball Research. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His writings
tell us that Obama was a 73% chance of winning reelection and keep all the
folks who use the NY Times as their political Bible happy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Of
course for this to be correct he needs to have correctly identified the
statistic that actually matters and it needs to be able to predict the outcome
past events as well as the one it was based on since that one event might be an
outlier.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So how did it do predicting the
result of 2010?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">The
first crack in Silver’s statistical prognostications appeared in 2010 when his
early projections significantly <b>undercounted Republican gains in the
House</b>. Eleven days before the election he predicted that there was a
70% chance that Republicans would gain less than 60 seats. They won
63.</span></div>

<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Some Democrats are apparently <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">not waiting for Barack Obama to lose the
presidential election </b>before starting the inevitable recriminations about <a href="http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2012/10/24/dems-begin-the-post-obama-blame-game-clinton-obama/"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">whose fault it was</b></a>. Whether writing
strictly on his own hook or as a result of conversations with campaign
officials,</i><em><span style="font-style: normal; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-style: italic; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">
New York Times</span></em><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> political
writer Matt Bai has fired the first shot in what may turn out to be a very
nasty battle over who deserves the lion’s share of the blame for what may turn
out to be a November disaster for the Democrats. That the <em><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi;">Times</span></em>
would publish a piece on October 24 that takes as its starting point the very
real possibility that the president will lose, and that blame for that loss
needs to be allocated, is astonishing enough. But that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">their nominee for scapegoat is the man who is almost certainly the most
popular living Democrat</b> is the sort of thing that is not only shocking, but
might be regarded as a foretaste of the coming battle to control the party in
2016.</i><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Of course
they are talking about <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bill Clinton</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It is Obama and more specifically his <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">liberal policies</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But the
liberal left wing media can’t admit that even to themselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><br />

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I think the
Romney campaign’s guarantee of victory has mattered much less than the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama campaign’s recent <a href="http://douthat.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/24/obamas-aura-of-defeat/">aura of defeat</a>.</b></i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Losing campaigns have a certain feel to them</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">: They go negative hard, try out new
messaging very late in the game, hype issues that only their core supporters
are focused on, and try to turn non-gaffes and minor slip-ups by their
opponents into massive, election-turning scandals. Think of John McCain’s
desperate hope that elevating Joe the Plumber would change the shape of the
2008 race, and you have the template for how tin-eared and desperate a losing
presidential campaign often sounds — and ever since the first debate cost Obama
his air of inevitability, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">he and his
surrogates have sounded more like McCain did with Joe the Plumber than like a
typical incumbent president on his way to re-election</b>. A winning
presidential campaign would not normally be hyping non-issues like Big Bird and
“binders full of women” in its quest for a closing argument, or rolling out a
new spin on its second-term agenda with just two weeks left in the race, or
pushing so many advertising chips into dishonest attacks on its rival’s
position on abortion. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">A winning
presidential campaign would typically be talking about the issues that voters
cite as most important — jobs, the economy, the deficit</b> — rather than
trying to bring up Planned Parenthood and PBS at every opportunity. A winning
presidential campaign would not typically have coined the term “Romnesia,” let
alone worked it into their candidate’s speeches.</i></div>

So what do you think Obama’s internal polls tell the Democrats?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even the external polls paint a bleak picture

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fracking technology has already made
it practical to exploit previously inaccessible natural gas and oil in the
United States (see "Natural Gas Changes the Energy Map "). Now
several companies are demonstrating <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a
way to use <a href="http://www.technologyreview.com/news/429682/coal-eating-microbes-might-create-vast-amounts-of/">microörganisms</a> that eat coal and excrete methane</b>—the main
ingredient in natural gas—as a possible means of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">extracting fuel from coal resources that had been too expensive to
mine.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Many coal beds contain large amounts
of methane that can be harvested by drilling wells. In recent decades,
researchers have demonstrated that a large fraction of the natural gas found in
the coal beds is produced by naturally occurring microörganisms that feed on
coal, and they have found ways to stimulate the microbes to produce more
methane. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Luca Technologies, based in
Golden, Colorado, is using this approach to increase production from coal beds
with existing methane wells.</b> Another company, Next Fuel, based in Sheridan,
Wyoming, recently showed that it could use similar technology to produce
methane from coal beds that didn't already have methane in them, raising the
possibility that vast amounts of coal that's currently too expensive to mine
could be converted into natural gas.</i><br />
<br />
This is really interesting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a
way to use coal without fouling the environment and it is extremely cost
effective. <br />

strength and staying power</b> than it does with any tactical political plan.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">“<a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/brendanoneill2/100186116/the-sneering-at-americas-low-information-voters-is-motored-by-an-ugly-anti-mob-elitism/">Low-information voters</a>”</i></b><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> are really being attacked
for failing to be politically tribal, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">for
failing to do what the experts and high-information media set believe they
should do – which, in essence, is vote Obama.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Behind the PC-sounding lingo of “low
information”, there lurks <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">a very old,
elitist contempt for the mob.</b> What we’re really witnessing is the
rehabilitation of the idea that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">certain
sections of the electorate are just too ill-educated or unenlightened to be
trusted to vote properly</b>. </i><br />
<br />
Actually the left is unhappy with Republican low information voters but
cultivate their own low information voters. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It was
Obama who posited that the Democrats could forge a winning coalition of welfare
and the working poor voters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b><br />

now and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">it couldn’t have gone better for
Mitt Romney</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first debate was
the killer for Obama.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obama looked
detached and bored, while Romney looked engaged and competent.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It was

stature</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He did better than the
first debate, but this one was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">basically
a tie</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It didn’t stop Romney’s

interrupted or tried to interrupt Romney every chance he got, but Romney didn’t
let him. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In this debate <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Romney gained stature</b> and many pundits
said <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama looked like the challenger

</span>In fact, Romney not only won the third debate he won the presidency that
night. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Expect to see the poll numbers go

appeared too tough, did not lose ground in the overall presidential race. Mr.

<div style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Well, it looks like Romney took my advice (no not literally). In boxing
terms, Romney went for a clinch. While Obama constantly tried to push Romney
off to start a real fight and heighten the contrast. In other words, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama behaved like a challenger in trouble
and Romney acted like a candidate with something to lose. </b>That tells you
something about the poll numbers both of these guys are looking at.</i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">And while I
obviously think <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Romney followed the
right strategy</b>, I have to say I wish he’d broken out of the clinch a couple
times to land a some easy blows. It was often painful to watch Romney blur the difference
between them. Still, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I think he was
smart not to take the bait.</b></i></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Meanwhile, <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/331321/romney-tonight-part-ii-jonah-goldberg"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama looked a bit desperate at times</b></a>,
particularly when he was staring at Romney as if to force the former governor
into spontaneous human combustion. </i></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Ultimately,
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">I think this debate served Romney well</b>,
even if the flash polls say Obama won narrowly on points (the polls said the
same after the second debate and Romney’s numbers continued to improve). If you
went into this debate worried that Romney isn’t a safe presidential pick, you
came out reassured</i></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Romney leads by 6 percentage

among women (49 to 45 percent).</span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-left: .5in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Both sides are doing well to consolidate their bases in Ohio. 87
percent of Democrats say they will vote for President Obama and 92 percent of
Republicans say they will vote for Governor Romney if the election were held
today. <b>Governor Romney leads with independents 52 to 33 percent.</b></i></div>

independents how is it that the poll is tied.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was apparent to me that t<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">here
had to be a lot more Democratic women in the survey.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Going to the actually survey I found out I
was right.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The survey included 41%
Democrats, 32% Republicans, and 27% independents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were 53% women and 47% men.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So

First, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the

one who fills up a tank of gas or watches even a bit of news doubts it.
This situation compels the independents and even many Democrats, perhaps
privately in the latter case, to pull the lever for Romney.</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
Second, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mitt
Romney is a very good man,</b> and the past two weeks have put that reality on
display for everyone who cares to notice to see…</div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
…<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">We do not
double down on failure, and President Obama has failed</b>.</div>

<br />
<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390444734804578062820162407596.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Conventional wisdom</i></b></a><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> holds that Barack Obama
"lost" in Denver because he lacked intensity. He brought his A-game
to Hofstra this week. There's still a problem. </i><br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The most significant event in the 2012
presidential election remains the Romney miracle bump after the first debate.
If Mr. Romney wins the election, analysts and scholars will spend years picking
apart the Denver debate the way they have the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon debate. </i><br />
If the pundits do that, they will be wrong.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Obama’s record says he should
lose and lose big in November</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>History shows us that a bad economy makes for one term presidents.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Obama staked his reelection bid on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the strategy that was reported as “kill
Romney.”</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He spent $220 million on
smearing Romney trying to make him unacceptable and drive people who wouldn’t
vote for Obama again to not vote at all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">It would then become a base election
and Obama spent a lot of money setting up his ground game.</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
The <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">first debate destroyed this
strategy</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It wasn’t Obama’s
lackluster performance (although that didn’t help) but Romney’s excellent
performance.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Romney took himself from unacceptable to acceptable </b>and the voters
Obama was trying to keep away from the polls saw that.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">They
will come out and will vote against Obama</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In the meantime, Romney performance in the debates has elevated him
among his base from their voting against Obama into voting for Romney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />

Maybe not personally Obama, but he <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">inherited

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Consider some history: the
economy Obama inherited had been dominated for two years by radicals named Reid
and Pelosi -- with a certain senator from Illinois voting with them every step
of the way, as it turns out. This <span id="IL_AD1"><span class="ilad">inheritance</span></span>
included energy prices that had been skyrocketing off and on for years thanks
to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">forty years of policies written, implemented,
interpreted, and enforced by leftists at every level of government</b>.
These policies prevented this country from accessing our own incredible energy
resources to the extent our economy required.</span></i></div>

answers a critic</span></b></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0in;">
Following my weekend column on the Administration’s
disgraceful behavior over Benghazi, a commenter called Pilipo Underwood pops
up: <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mawk Steyn’s
sophistry is simply astounding!</b> Willard Romney started the politics before
we even knew the basics of the attack in Benghzi. And his essays just drip with
vituperation. Such a chip on his shoulder, one thinks <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">he would have learned after his Conviction for Hate Speech</b>.</div>
<div style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">If only Capitalization could Make It
So</b>. I’ve never been Convicted of Hate Speech. Just for the record, the
Canadian Islamic Congress took their case to the Ontario “Human Rights”
Commission, the British Columbia “Human Rights” Tribunal, and the Canadian
“Human Rights” Commission, and struck out every time. After which, they stopped
trying. As a result of the case, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the
censorship law became so discredited that the Canadian Parliament repealed it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
So the reason I haven’t “learned”, as Mr Underwood puts it, is because <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/330404/capital-crime-mark-steyn"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">it was game, set and match to me.</b></a><br />
<br />
Alas, so <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">much of contemporary
liberalism depends on a kind of invincible ignorance</b>. In that sense,
Benghazi is a test case of the left’s defining technique: simply saying the
same thing over and over and louder and louder will make it true.<br />

<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">For starters, try to imagine being
Paul Ryan last Thursday: a young politician in the hot seat, the eyes of the
world pressing upon him, as he tries to make careful and succinct statements in
a most-intense environment, while all along, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">literally nearly every minute -- <a href="http://spectator.org/archives/2012/10/15/joe-biden-makes-history">Biden interrupted</a></b> Ryan 80-plus
times -- his opponent smirks, scoffs, laughs uncontrollably, flaps his arms,
and, generally, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">acts like a petulant
child.</b> I ask readers: Could you have endured what Paul Ryan handled? Given
what he was up against, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Paul Ryan's
debate performance was truly remarkable. It was extraordinary. For poise alone,
Ryan won hands down.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">As for Joe Biden, his
disrespectfulness was of historic proportions. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Anyone but the blindest partisan Democrat concedes that the man was
obnoxious</b>. Only really, really angry liberals -- granted, there are many --
liked what Biden did.</i><br />

We also heard repeatedly from Democrats, including Ranking Member of the House
Oversight Committee Elijah Cummings, claiming a lack of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">funding was at fault for less security in Benghazi </b>during the time
of the attack on 9/11 that left four Americans dead. State Department officials

evading Bar registration dues. Howie Carr has a great column today about
Warren’s class warfare phoniness.</i></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Add another
example to the long list: <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Warren
obtained fee waivers from at least 50 federal bankruptcy courts so
she would not have to pay for access to the federal PACER system</b>, even in

let me suggest that the criteria for victory are changing. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The debate no longer ends when the debaters walk off stage</b>. And <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">now it no longer ends when the TV spinners
have, like cuckoos, laid their eggs and flown away. </b>There is now the long, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">long reverberation in social media, </b>where
the basic debate footage serves as raw material for mash-ups and parodies and
treatments for the rest of the election cycle and beyond. And Biden’s
performance, which won him some tactical advantage in the debate, has set him
up as the target for rich satire and a way that Ryan’s conventional performance
didn’t and cannot do. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">His performance is
comic gold, and although within hard-core Dem/left circles he will be
celebrated as the warrior, everywhere else, and especially for basically
apolitical young YouTube viewers, he will be the jackass supreme</b>. I suspect
that by Election Day, the various parodic videos will have had a larger
viewership than the debate itself. By this criterion, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the tactic was a massive miscalculation.</b></span></i></div>
