That article makes it clear that the senator from Missouri has been skipping party functions for a while now, nothing new there. And the article ends on a totally bullshit opinion. And a governor you say? I still fail to see how any of this ends up being significant, there are mitigating factors in almost every case.

Also this just in, another victory for the Obama administration via the courts, this time in regards to EPA regulations.
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/06/26/usa-co2-ruling-idUSL2E8HQAY620120626
Although the healthcare decision will certainly be the lynchpin, I'm surprised at how favorably the courts have been ruling for Democrats thus far.

That's not surprising really.

CO2 emission control by the EPA is hardly "arbitrary and capricious."

To meet that standard, the court would have to basically rule that there is no evidence that CO2 is destructive to the environment to some extent, which I think even non-global warming people wouldn't be on board with.

Yeah, the only way to fix it is to have Congress remove CO2 from the EPA's jurisdiction.

This is a little surprising ... Rush Limbaugh calling out Romney for his evasiveness.


Rush Limbaugh had some harsh words for Mitt Romney on Tuesday, over the candidate's response to the Supreme Court's immigration ruling.

The court recently determined that certain parts of Arizona's controversial immigration policy are unconstitutional. Romney was criticized for his late and vague response to the decision. He said that he "would have preferred to see the Supreme Court give more latitude to the states."

On Tuesday, Limbaugh expressed his frustration with Romney's reaction, calling it "tepid" and a "red flag" for the campaign. The radio host declared that "Mitt Romney blew it" with his response.

"The Romney campaign was not ready for primetime on this illegal immigration Arizona decision," Limbaugh insisted, noting that it was the first time he thought that in a while. He added that he thought the campaign has been doing a "superb job" rapidly responding to new developments.

He argued that immigration was too important an issue for Romney to hold back on. "You can't live off of Obama's gaffes, like the economy's doing fine... forever," he said. "You gotta be a proud, eloquent defender of the Constitution when your opponent is stomping all over it."


I think this may be the only time ever in the history and future of humankind that I kind-of-sort-of agree with Rush Limbaugh.

Romney missed an opportunity to demonstrate his leadership ability by tepidly responding to this issue. If this is what his presidency will be like -- avoiding difficult decisions, backpedalling and constantly covering his own ass first -- I don't see how he would be an upgrade over Obama.

The problem with romey is he comes over as an empty shell, there is nothing in there unless its put in by the GOP/rich people/corperations.

He is the prime example of a puppet president i have seen in a while.

That's why republicans spent so much time looking at crappy alternatives like Cain, Gingrich, Santorum..... They've known from the beginning that Romney is as boring and vanilla of a candidate as they could ever hope to muster. But he's squeaky clean and very careful, and I guess that matters more in American politics these days where the media crucifies people for the smallest blemishes.

When your campaign would do well to listen to political strategy advice from Rush Limbaugh,________________________.

You fill out the rest

Why would removing CO2 from the EPA's jurisdiction be a good thing?

He's really not all that careful, considering the gaffes he's had so far.

Because I'd rather the EPA not pass bullshit CO2 regulations that unnecessarily hamper the American economy.

We should let businesses dump toxic waste anywhere they want, too. Restricting them would unnecessarily hamper the American economy. /sarcasm

If anyting, the EPA is extremely business friendly, to the point that it's been sued for being influenced by political appointees instead of legitimate science.

The biggest (and it really is huge) thing that Obama has going for him is that US Gas prices are in a free-fall heading into the summer months.

$3.25ish or so heading to $3.00/gallon on average. Some states like SC are at $3.00.

That kind of shows that he's not sitting comfortably right now... $3.00 gas and he should be coasting...piling up all the undecideds/moderates.

Totally disagree with Limbaugh. Romney can't alienate Hispanics if he wants to win the swing states. Of course it may be hopeless by now.

I think he can because he'll take the white majority vote by a huge margin.

I can't find the link, but Rasmussen released a poll a couple weeks ago showing Obama with support among whites down in the 30s and Romney with white support in the 60s.
