John Sununu has been a prominent surrogate for Mitt Romney (one who left the Bush 1 White House in utter disgrace), and got sent out to attack the President with the usual pathetic socialist, marxist, lazy negro dog whistles. Charles Blow and Joy Reid talked with Lawrence O'Donnell about this last night. See for yourself (approx 9 quick minutes):

I always show this clip from Invictus' when talking about authentic leadership in an organizational behavior class that I teach.

This is a big win for team Obama. the fallout from Romney's Bain/tax secrecy disasters isn't coming in the form of moving impossible to move partisans and decided voters, it is coming in the form of a general consensus that Romney is running a poor campaign.

I got tired of looking at Michigan tied and wondering why there had been no further polling out of it in a month. So I went to the TPM Poll Tracking site. There, I found that the most recent poll conducted on the presidential level in Michigan was one that I must have missed. The poll was conducted by Marist showing a 4 point lead for Obama, 47% to 43%. Thus, this will move the state to Slim Obama. And I also got tired of seeing Missouri shaded blue when I know Romney leads that state. The reason for that was that the most recent poll not conducted by Rasmussen was a poll done in March showing Obama ahead by 2. The current TPM Polling average for the state is Romney ahead by 4. So we are going to go with that for now, and that changes Missouri to Slim Romney. We also have new polls today out of Colorado, Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Iowa, New Hampshire and New York.

Buzz Bissinger has written one righteous condemnation of the Penn State football program and Penn State administration in this week's Daily Beast. He suggests the NCAA impose a 5 year ban for Penn State's football program -- something that would certainly be meaningful to Penn State as a punishment.

Joe Arpaio will prove this afternoon that President Obama is a member "The Babylonian Brotherhood" which aims to enslave humanity. In addition to Obama their ranks include most world leaders, the British Royal Family, Jay Leno, Larry Hagman and the entire cast of the Golden Girls. The evidence will show that members of the brotherhood are secretly 7 feet tall reptiles who drink blood. The reptiles came to Earth from a “fourth dimension” to mine for precious metals, and must engage in murder, kidnapping and drug parties to keep their human appearance. The facts are indisputable and will likely thrust Romney into the lead in his race to other-throw the usurper from the fourth dimension.

How can an Indy candidate for Senate come out of the blocks and force me to agree with Tom Carper minutes into a campaign?

Alex Pires, who filed Monday to challenge U.S. Sen. Tom Carper as an Independent Party candidate, quickly opened a surprising new line of attack against the Democratic incumbent, questioning Carper’s health.
