Early vote was once an idea that both parties promoted. But as Democrats grow in their ability to use it to their strategic advantage, Republicans have sought to reduce or eliminate it.
With the CBS Local Presidential Forum coming to a close Barack Obama and Mitt Romney take their chance to set the record straight, pointing out the false accusations their opponent has leveled and giving their response.
There were so many blatant signs of Obama-favored bias displayed by CNN political correspondent Candy Crowley that one scarcely knows where to begin. She caused the difference between Romney's huge win in the first debate and his extremely narrow win in the second.
If you want to know what an empty, meaningless political photo opportunity is look at Congressman Paul Ryan's drop by at a food bank last week in Youngstown, Ohio.
Romney so misrepresented his record in Denver that it will be hard for the former Massachusetts Governor to walk it back tonight because Romney will be lying about his record to a room full of voters.
Much like the first debate, GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney will win the second debate as well but on a much smaller scale. The reasons for the second win in a row will be quite different on the surface but will be much the same beneath the surface.
Mitt Romney's apprentice salesman stepped on the stage last night and delivered his talking points, but little more. Throughout the night, Joe Biden delivered lesson after lesson to the ambitious young Congressman from Wisconsin.
Both candidates did what they had set out to do. Biden reached out to his base, and Ryan spoke to those who don't like the direction the country is headed. Republicans are likely not happy that Ryan didn't deliver the knock-out debate Mitt Romney did a week ago while Democrats are, as previously stated, ecstatic Biden didn't have a bad night.
Chris analyzes last night's vice-presidential debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan and discusses it with Governor Tom Corbett, Senator Pat Toomey, Ed Rendell, John Hayward, Michael Bronstein, and Colin Hanna.
There's no debate, the debate was the most important option on television.
First, try to make Paul Ryan look inexperienced and un-Presidential and, two, hold the Romney/Ryan ticket accountable for their ever changing policies and focus on Mitt Romney as someone that cannot be trusted.
"Some girls rape easy." Those are the shocking words of Roger Rivard, a Republican state representative in Wisconsin previously endorsed by Paul Ryan.
Chris previews tonights debate and discusses it with Dennis Miller and RNC Chairman Reince Priebus. He also talks to Congressman Pat Meehan about hearings in the House of Representatives on the Libyan consulate attack.
Romney might say he won't restrict a woman's right to choose, but his message is clearly coded for his rightwing base: you do not have to worry about the Supreme Court. Relax, I'm with you, but I'm running for president for Pete's sake.
Why is Mitt Romney, the severely Conservative candidate for president, all of a sudden moving to the middle?
Dr. Jill Biden is making seven stops across the Keystone State.
Friday's surprising jobs report quickly became the talk of the campaign trail.
Obama has many challenges to winning tonight's debate, but having Mitt Romney as his opponent gives him a path to victory.
Is Mitt Romney planning an October surprise of sorts for tonight? Has he been saving big policy announcements and details for the debate?
Chris reviews yesterday's court ruling postponing implementation of Pennsylvania's voter ID law until after this year's election and the longer video of a police officer striking a woman. He also talks to Senator Pat Toomey, Cara Blouin, producer of the Republican Film Festival and Tom McGrath from the Philly Post.
Obama has been moving the needle with seniors using distorted arguments about Social Security and Medicare. Fortunately for GOP presidential challenger Mitt Romney, seniors' top concern is the economy's struggles under Obama and seniors have overwhelming voted Republican in the last two presidential elections.
Chris celebrates the return of the NFL referees, ending the lockout. He details the raises give to non-union city employees by Mayor Nutter and explains the biased national polls that claim Mitt Romney is losing to President Obama. He also discusses the Inquirer suing the state of Pennsylvania to be able to see the first execution in 13 years and talks to Jerome Corsi from World Net Daily.
Romney is dragging his own campaign and every Republican down. Republican operatives and House and Senate candidates have conceded as much throughout the month of September.
The recently released tape of Romney speaking to donors at a closed door fundraiser has exposed Mitt Romney to, in fact, be the person Democrats have portrayed him to be: a rich, out of touch, arrogant man that has no respect or connection to the American middle class and absolutely no interest in making the American middle class stronger.
