American voters are deeply divided about this race. The Register’s editorial board, as it should, had a vigorous debate over this endorsement. Our discussion repeatedly circled back to the nation’s single most important challenge: pulling the economy out of the doldrums, getting more Americans back in the workforce in meaningful jobs with promising futures, and getting the federal government on a track to balance the budget in a bipartisan manner that the country demands.
Which candidate could forge the compromises in Congress to achieve these goals? When the question is framed in those terms, Mitt Romney emerges the stronger candidate.
The former governor and business executive has a strong record of achievement in both the private and the public sectors. He was an accomplished governor in a liberal state. He founded and ran a successful business that turned around failing companies. He successfully managed the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
Romney has made rebuilding the economy his No. 1 campaign priority — and rightly so.
From the dead bodies that resulted from the Fast & Furious and Benghazi operations, to the apologies to fanatics and dictators, Bill Whittle brings you a compendium of the Obama Administration’s greatest failures. Will a Romney Administration perform any better?

Donald Trump in Late Show with David Letterman October 25, 2012:
Letterman asks him why do we need to see the president’s records. Trump replies, “transparency”, and the audience applauds in approval.
MRCTV’s Dan Joseph visited a “packed” Obama rally at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va. to try to get an answer to one of life’s most elusive questions: Where do liberals get their news?
“Mexicans are not worthy of conscious thought,” says Washington state-based ‘spirit’ leader
In a story that is still unfolding, State Democrats in Washington continue to resist calls to return more than $66,000 in donations received from Yelm-based “mystic” J.Z. Knight after videos of tirades peppered with hate speech directed at Catholics, Jews and gays became public earlier this week.
[NW Daily Marker‘s two prior articles documenting $66,300 in donations to State Democrats and $60,800 to the Democratic National Committee and Pres. Barack Obama’s re-election campaign can be read here and here.]
Uh…..extreme language warning:
Via MRCTV: Benghazi: The Biden and Obama cock-ups:
The father of one of the Navy SEALs who was killed in the Libya consulate attack has criticised the White House reaction to his son’s death – especially a bizarre and obscene comment Joe Biden made to him.
If this claim were refutable, I believe the Vice President’s office would have attempted to do so by now, and it hasn’t. The “loud and boisterous” element just cited sort of closes off that avenue.
Later in the Blaze report just linked, Woods described his encounter with President Obama at the same ceremony:
“When he finally came over to where we were, I could tell that he was rather conflicted, a person who was not at peace with himself,” Woods said. “Shaking hands with him, quite frankly, was like shaking hands with a dead fish. His face was pointed towards me but he would not look me in the eye, his eyes were over my shoulder.”
“I could tell that he was not sorry,” he added. “He had no remorse.”
Beck said he wanted to give the president “the benefit of the doubt,” and asked Woods how he could be sure that Obama wasn’t just uncomfortable or nervous during their conversation. Woods said it was Obama’s “demeanor.”
Completing the trifecta of administration awkwardness and obfuscation, Woods claims that Hillary Clinton told him that the U.S. would “make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted.”
The video — produced by the founders of the advertising agencyGoodby Silverstein & Partners, which came up with the famous tagline “Got milk?” and boasts clients like Cheetos, Netflix, the National Basketball Association and Nintendo — asks viewers, “What Would The Children Of The Future Say If We Let Them Down This November?”

Nick Gillespie of Reason TV examines more Obama cultism: “I Pledge to Serve Barack Obama” (Urgent 2012 Election Update):
Conservative Todd Akin released the ad “Selling Us Out” slamming liberal Claire McCaskill for her $20 million Stimulus gift to her husband’s businesses.
The ad is Akin’s harshest attack at yet.
