This stunt was better planned than the Iraq war.

Oh and the Ryan pick handed Obama another term.Instead of talking about the economy(which is improving) we'll be arguing about taking away medicare for old people.I believe this was a calculated way for Romney to deflect blame once he loses.Its all Ryans plan fault.You watch.

julian castro, superstar
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

Putin: Romney Helped Russia by Calling It Top Foe
President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday that a comment made by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made Russia feel justified in opposing America's missile defense plans in Europe.
The Republican challenger to President Barack Obama has branded Russia the "No. 1 geopolitical foe" of the United States.
Putin said that statement shows Russia is right to criticize the U.S.-led NATO plan to place land- and sea-based radars and interceptors in several European locations. Washington says the shield is intended against a possible missile attack from Iran, but Moscow sees it as a threat to its security, saying it may eventually grow powerful enough to undermine Russia's nuclear deterrent.
Putin said in remarks carried by Russian news wires that Romney's statement has "strengthened Russia's positions in talks on this important and sensitive subject," but added that he would work with Romney if he's elected.
"I'm grateful to him for formulating his stance so clearly, because he has once again proven the correctness of our approach to missile defense problems," Putin said of Romney. "The most important thing for us is that even if he doesn't win now, he or a person with similar views may come to power in four years. We must take that into consideration while dealing with security issues for a long perspective."
NATO has offered to cooperate with Russia on the missile shield, but the alliance has rejected Russia's proposal to run the shield jointly.
Without a NATO-Russia cooperation deal, the Kremlin has sought guarantees from the U.S. that any future shield is not aimed at Russia and threatened to aim missiles at the U.S. shield if no agreement is reached.

The Carolina Panthers at Washington Redskins on Sunday is pivotal to both teams as they search for answers to questions many fans want to know.
Which team is going to show up? Is this season a bust? Will the second half of the NFL 2012 season bring about a turnaround and a possible seat at the playoff table?
Both teams are led by quarterbacks Robert Griffin III and Cam Newton, whose meteoric rise their rookie year silenced even the harshest critics. The Redskins are 3-5 with a single win at home and a loss of two straight games. The Panthers are 1-6 so far this 2012 season. They have yet to win on the road, and they have lost five straight games.
There is much on the line for this 1 p.m. kickoff Sunday in our nation's capitol. The most important question fans may want to know is who will win the Presidential election: Barack Obama or Mitt Romney?
There are many superstitions, omens, indicators and predictors that determine the results of a presidential election. None has greater accuracy than the "Redskins Rule," as noted by the Elias Sports Bureau in 2000. It goes something like this: Since the Redskins moved from Boston to Washington, D.C., in 1937, there have been 18 presidential elections. If the Redskins win their last home game before the election, the incumbent party has held office.
Although not perfect, and we are talking superstition, this has held true in 17 of 18 presidential elections. In 2004, the visiting Green Bay Packers defeated the Washington Redskins, 28-14. George Bush held onto his presidency, defeating John Kerry. That election had to even be reviewed by the officials. (Too bad there was no political equivalent of a coach throwing a red flag on the play for that one.)
Bush had secured the electoral votes but not the popular vote. Otherwise, it could be a perfect 18 of 18 instances this had occurred. The rule worked 17 of 18 times, resulting in an accuracy rating of 94.4 percent. That nearly matches 49er's QB Alex Smith's performance last Monday night against the Cardinals. Strong. Very strong.
At last glance, the Redskins are favored to win by three points Sunday. I've always been told that a three-point advantage is the home-field advantage. This is too close too call for both the Week 9 Redskins-Panthers matchup and the election. This I do know.
There will be die-hard Republican Redskins fans pulling for the Panthers so that, if this game means anything to the future direction of our country, Mitt Romney emerges as the 45th president of the United States. And there will be die-hard Democratic, Redskins fans who want a win in order to have their cake and eat it too.
If we take the "Redskins Rule" out of the equation Sunday, the ideal scenario for Sunday's game would be a knockdown, drag out, last-minute heroics-style game similar to when the teams first met at FedEx Field in 1999. No political election on the line. The Redskins won with a game-winning field goal, 38-36, where quarterbacks Brad Johnson and Steve Beuerlein combined for 671 yards.
Sunday afternoon, let RG3 and Cam Newton just go all out until the last second, and whichever team has the ball last has a chance to win the game. There is much more at stake than a win in the win-loss column between these two teams. The future of the country over the next four years needs a clear-cut winner.
Although it has not happened in the NFL in four years, let's hope the game does not end in a tie.
