Chris Matthews Blasts Obama for
Debate Performance, Urges Him
to Get Talking Points from MSNBC
NewsBusters, by Matthew Sheffield

An angry Chris Matthews sharply denounced President Obama's performance in the presidential debate tonight, implying his knowledge of the facts was "first grade." Matthews also urged Obama to tune in to MSNBC so he could learn a thing or two from the supposedly non-partisan hosts and guests on the channel.

"I don't know what he was doing out there," the normally effusively pro-Obama former Democratic operative raged. "I don't know how he let Romney get away with the crap he threw out tonight." Video and transcript below the fold.

Matthews went on at length castigating Obama for failing to viciously attack Romney the way that he and his fellow far-left hosts on MSNBC do every night. "We have our knives out," Matthews said. "Obama should watch MSNBC, my last point. He will learn something every night on this show and all these shows. This stuff we're watching, it's like first grade for most of us. We know all this stuff."

The mask finally came off tonight. MSNBC has long ago stopped being a legitimate news channel. Tonight, Chris Matthews admitted what everyone has known for a long time. No Fox News Channel host would ever say something so directly partisan and obviously in favor of one candidate.

Surge: Romney Leads In All 11 Swing States
Breitbart's Big Government, by John Nolte

On top of all the other magic he works, Scott Rasmussen also conducts a daily poll of the eleven swing states won by Obama in 2008 and considered competitive today. This includes Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. Romney has not been in the lead in this poll since Sept. 19. As recently as last week, Obama was 4 to 6 points ahead.

Today, Romney is up by 2, 49-46%.

In 2008, Obama won these states 53 to 46%.

Rasmussen calls this swing, "[A] significant change. For virtually the entire campaign, Obama has done better in the swing states than in the national averages. It remains to be seen whether this is a lasting change in the race or merely a temporary aberration." Rasmussen also believes Obama might need a Reagan-style debate comeback to win reelection.

State polling remains Obama and the media's last stand before acknowledging Romney's surge or declaring Obama in deep, deep trouble -- a narrative neither wants. Even though poll after poll shows Romney gaining in OH, VA, and FLA (there are even polls showing him only a few points down in PA and MI) the media's refused to acknowledge what the rest of us are seeing at the state level. This is a reality the media just doesnâ€™t want to face and one they most certainly don't want to report.

The media's so desperate that Politico's lead story about the Romney campaign today went out of its way to report that Romney's internal polls in the states were dire. That's not what we are hearing and that's not what polls were showing even before the debate.

Clinton: I Thought Obama
'Was Going to Cry'
Weekly Standard, by Daniel Halper

At a campaign event for Barack Obama's reelection campaign, Bill Clinton said that Mitt Romney's argument "is true, we're not fixed":

"Governor Romney's argument is, we're not fixed, so fire him and put me in," said Clinton. "It is true we're not fixed. When President Obama looked into the eyes of that man who said in the debate, I had so much hope four years ago and I don't now, I thought he was going to cry. Because he knows that it's not fixed."

UPDATE: A Romney spokesman comments: "We agree with former President Bill Clinton. The economy has not been fixed under President Barack Obama. Today, more than 23 million Americans are struggling for work, poverty has increased and food stamps are at record levels. Mitt Romney believes we can do better by creating 12 million new jobs with higher take-home pay, cutting spending to put our nation on course for a balanced budget, and actually fixing our economy."

Obama camp slams Des
Moines Registerâ€™s Romney
endorsement â€” to DMR reporter
Washington Examiner (D.C.), by Joel Gehrke

Obama campaign strategist David Axelrod told a Des Moines Register (DMR) reporter that the newspaperâ€™s endorsement of Mitt Romney was â€œconfounding,â€ but would not stop them from carrying Iowa.

â€œWith all due respect to your editorial board, I think that the editorial itself was a little bit confounding,â€ Axelrod said on a conference call when a DMR reporter asked him to respond to the editorial.In particular, he said he disliked the DMRâ€™s treatment of the Obama and Romney tax plans.

â€œThere is not a lot of difference between the two candidatesâ€™ short-term economic plans, as both are heavy on a promise of tax cuts for the middle class but short on details,â€ The Des Moines Register editors wrote in their first endorsement of a Republican presidential candidate since 1972. â€œRomneyâ€™s plan, however, goes beyond helping the middle class with tax breaks.â€

By contrast, the DMR said that Obamaâ€™s â€œbest efforts to resuscitate the stumbling economy have fallen short. Nothing indicates it would change with a second term in the White House.â€
