I'll read them both, but does that lean more towards the right? I'd love to read something that's fairly neutral.

Is what I use. It's been criticized by both liberals and conservatives, so I figure that's fair game.

Another good article putting to rest the Dems misrepresentation of Romney's tax plan.

The Washington Post who overall is somewhere left of the Beijing Times, has been more even-handed in their Pinochio Rating and their Fact Check section over the last year or so.

Back to the DNC. Let's talk about that Clinton speech last night. He absolutely wrecked the GOP with that 48 minute speech. I heard somebody comment that the only thing the right wing media were complaining about was its length, and went on to say that if that's the only thing they could find to complain about then he obviously was doing something right. I watched it today at work and wanted to go out and vote for Clinton immediately. I'm still in awe of that speech.

Republicans had Clint. Democrats have Clinton.

Advantage: Democrats

Malcolm, Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp. i.e. Rupert Murdoch.

NC, don't bother. Anything outside of the Fox bubble is "leftist" to SlinginSammy.

How Mitt Romney plans to add $5 trillion to the deficit and expand our military with no offsetting cuts for middle class is completely baffling to me.

[DynamiteRave]

Gabby Giffords looks great!

Well if you look at Obamas record we have 5 trillion def. in 3 years. While Romney cut taxes and balance the budget in Mass. The left can not use Mitts record in Mass. against him so they ignore it.

John Kerry just pooped all over Romney's foreign policy experience, and what he would/will do.

That was before he was against it. Or was it after he was for it. Or was it before he was after it.

This convention is nothing more than energizing the base, I will be surprised if there's any bump for the Ds after this debacle. Might even see Romney's advance get stronger.

Obama simply clowns Romney on all levels. Guy is a immaculate speaker and motivator.


Biden's speech was very emotional and very personal to him. You could see his eyes watering there when he was getting choked up at one point.

Exactly what debacle might this be? Romney's numbers go up after the DNC??...lol
