The day Romney won the presidency

Events today show Mitt Romney will beat President Obama in November.

I doubt it's going to work

Put me in the camp of unbelievers on this.

Hut, hut ... timber

Blue Virginia joins a group for trees and against Hokie football players.
The Hokies want an indoor practice facility near Lane Stadium, and look at the woods as the best place for it.
If you're been to Blacksburg, look west. There's a national forest on the ridgeline.
Lots of trees there.

Solyndra - sole focus of campaign

Mitt Romney can't really go wrong talking about Solyndra all day long from now until November.
If Obama focuses on Bain's failures, here's a fresh stinking pile of failure in the Obama camp.
Next move, Obama team?

Cherokees vs. fake squaw

Legal Insurrection reports the online presence of Cherokees questioning Elizabeth Warren's claims of Indian lineage.

How?

Can DeepFriedManatees find a great poster for President Obama?
Yes, they cannabis.

How?

Jimmy Carter moment

It's tough waiting for the bottom to drop out of the Obama campaign.
You think it's coming, but there's still time until November.
The Telegraph looks at Obama's recent problems.
Romney has his weaknesses. But they are fewer than Obama’s, whose charisma disguises a multitude of problems so great that it’s hard to imagine him overcoming them.

Spending reality

I love how the Obama camp keeps saying increased recent spending isn't their fault.
Spending as adjusted leaped by 15% in fiscal 2010, even though the recession was officially over three months before it began. That percentage increase would probably be a modern single-year non-wartime record if the government handled its accounting properly. Even Nutting, if he had integrity, would have to admit that this constitutes a “spending binge.” Adjusted outlays only ramped back a bit during fiscal 2011. Given how spending rose during the two preceding years, the 6.4% compound annual rate of spending in fiscal 2010 and 2011 is inexcusable.

Facebook quote of the week

Hmmm...seems Barry Dunham is losing some popularity.

"Not in immediate crisis"

AARP highlights an interview with President Obama, saying Social Security is "not in immediate crisis."
Immediate, I guess, means before November.

Warren interview transcript

If only Elizabeth Warren's interview with Boston reporters went like this.
Warren: I know I have Indian heritage.
Reporters: How?
Warren: My mom told me so.

Sky Walker

When Scott Walker takes the presidential oath sometime in the future (after two Romney terms, maybe), Democrats will remember how they got him into that position.
From Ann Althouse:
The recall has put Walker in the position where he must advertise and promote himself, which might have been awkward before — and it was never his thing. TV viewers are getting barraged with Walker ads — and almost nothing for his cash-strapped opponent, and we're tolerating it because he was forced into having to defend himself. What a nice opportunity for him!
I don't watch all the TV shows, but this week, I've watched "American Idol" and part of a couple Brewers games, and I've seen ad after ad for Walker. I saw one ad against Walker, and it was a confusing complaint about how Walker is a "rock star." Idiots! They made him a rock star.

Amy Farrah Fowler Thursday

The network TV season is over. Regular shows are on hiatus until September. We'll have to tide ourselves over with reruns of Big Bang Theory, and Mayim Bialik in a a Star Trek outfit. Wonder if there's a new picture of Kaley Cuoco today?

Go East, young men

We're more than 25 percent through the baseball season.
All five American League East teams are .500 or better.
Four of the five National League East teams are over .500.
And the Baltimore Orioles have the best record of the Eastern lot.
I'm enjoying the nice start.

Some things are more dense

Smitty has the engineering viewpoint on the latest thrust at green fuel in the military.
The truth seems to be that biofuels are less energy dense, meaning it takes more fuel to get the same amount of thrusties out the back end. Not sure if you have the time to blog on this, but it has me and a couple of engineers here at NAVAIR bleeding out our eyeballs reading this propaganda.
Biofuels are less energy dense.
Politicians are more energy dense.
UPDATE: Smitty likes. And I notice a spelling mistake.
UPDATE2: Daily Pundit adds the linkage.

Can't blame Obama

Blue Virginia is right.
You can't blame President Obama for the rise in debt during his presidency.
He was following the budget passed by the Democratic Senate.
Oh, that's right.
They haven't passed a budget in three years.
If you don't have a budget, you can't be overbudget.
Tell that to the collection agencies.

As West Virginia goes

West Virginia paved the way, giving over 40 percent of the vote to a felon instead of President Obama.
Kentucky and Arkansas watched and learned.
Let's see how Texas does next week.

Recipe for Democratic defeat

It's good to visit Blue Virginia and see displayed the trouble Democrats are in this year.
Attacking Cory Booker for his statement on Bain Capital.
Questioning Mark Warner on working with Marco Rubio.
Whining in May.
More whining to come in the fall.
Real whining after Election Day.
Democrats holding their breath until they turn blue.
