David Axelrod has been Obama’s closest political adviser since those early days in Chicago and he can usually be relied on to be the last Obamaite to sound a sour note about Obama’s prospects. But a recent email he sent to supporters has him sounding downright mopey.
The purpose of Axelrod’s email was to announce a lottery for a winning Obama supporter to meet the Prez. But one line of Axelrod’s rote email sounded a bit defeatist.
“I don’t know how this is going to end. But no matter what, I know each of us will have given this campaign everything we’ve got,” Axelrod wrote.
That sounds like he’s in a downright funk, doesn’t it? Axelrod’s internal polls must be depressing him, eh?

Obama’s Axelrod A Bit Down in the Dumps?”
On the Sunday, October 28 edition of ABC’s This Week, Andrew Sullivan of The Daily Beast claimed that Obama might lose this election because the whole south is filled with racists that are somehow just like the Old Confederacy. As George Will noted, according to Sullivan all the whites that were not racist in 2008 suddenly are racist in 2012.
On October 25, MSNBC’s Ed Schultz proved himself gullible enough to fall for the false story that Mitt Romney’s son Tagg owns voting machines in Ohio and that he is somehow making sure that the vote in that important swing state goes the right way. Schultz may want to check his real estate portfolio to make sure he didn’t buy any Brooklyn Bridges of late.
In keeping with the “Mittmentum” that we are seeing in many states and swing states across the country, New Hampshire is for the first time looking more like a lovely purple color tinged heavily in red with polls showing Mitt Romney topping President Obama there for the first time.
In chronicling the left-wing drum beat viewers are constantly subjected to by the entertainment industry we often find TV episodes that are stuffed full of anti-conservative messages and with this week’s NCIS: Los Angeles we were treated to one of the most blatant examples that has hit the airwaves in quite sometime.
Throughout the years Jackie Lacey has quietly perpetrated an easily-documented battle with the truth, earning the career administrator significant and sizable rewards both personal and political.
Jim Moran is an extremist, liberal Congressman from the state of Virginia and it appears that his campaign office thinks perpetrating vote fraud is a very good idea. So good that Moran’s campaign field director, his son Patrick, conspired with the undercover camera of James O’Keefe to commit vote fraud through forged documents and other violations of the law.

Forget hunting for the Fountain of Youth. Apparently all one need do to live forever is to register to vote Democrat in North Carolina because for the 2012 General Election, the voters roll shows that the 
Hey, Ohio, 
The Washington Post must not have noticed that the United States is supposed to be a land that is tolerant of religions, especially where it concerns out electoral system. This week the Washington Post has published 
The Old Media establishment seems to be getting worried about Barack Obama’s reelection campaign. They see Romney surging and they are beginning to think that there may be no stopping him. So, lots of advice is being offered to the Democrats to help them come back from this tailspin. National Journal is only the latest to do so.
Us Magazine had a little tidbit of gossip to blather about when it discovered who made Ann Romney’s and Michelle Obama’s hot pink dresses that each wore to the recent presidential debate. In its headline Us blares that Ann Romney’s dress cost “$1,690.” But Michelle Obama’s ensemble was priced at $3,290 despite the silence of the headline.
The idea that President Barack Obama’s re-election campaign is in some trouble is dawning on many in the Old Media, these days. The latest to notice that Obama has found some unexpected obstacles — mostly troubles of his own making — on the road back to the White House is the oft times left-leaning National Journal.
Apparently, former ABC News reporter Carol Simpson is a disgruntled debate moderator. In an interview conducted after the recent 2012 debate, Simpson claimed that she was relegated to being the “Oprah” of moderators. Further, she asserted that women are discriminated against as debate moderators. She was even unhappy that they made her wear high-heeled shoes when she moderated the 1992 debates.
George Will made a relatively quixotic proclamation immediately after the second presidential debate held at Hofstra University in New York. First of all, he thought the debate was “immeasurably the best” in American presidential debate history. Just as quixotically, Will declared Obama the big winner of the night.
Voters do not like taxes. So, National Public Radio in New Hampshire seems to have thought it would be nice to help Maggie Hassan, the Democrat candidate for Governor, by doing a little editing work to take the word “tax” out of one of her answers at a recent candidates debate. The radio folks claimed it was a “mistake,” but eliminating the word sure does tend to soften the blow of her policy ideas.
