It is important to note some worrisome signs indicating that Mitt Romney and his campaign may have opted for a more subtle approach to establishing the "otherness" of Barack Obama.
Practical politics consists in ignoring facts. -- --Henry Brooks Adams, The Education of Henry Adams Two bits of bad news to dampen a...
The following points are not meant to take a side on the left-right debate, but simply to present a fuller picture of the pamphlet in question and the accusations made.
Mitt Romney's running for president on one central campaign theme: that he's the savvy business guy whose tenure at private equity firm Bain Capital in the 1980's and 90's has made him a job-creator while President Obama is a job-cutter.
I'm tainted, I know, and possibly unable to fathom the mainstream image of Coffman, but my perception is that Coffman is pretty far to the right on the political spectrum, a far cry from a "moderate."

A party of birthers, creationists, theocrats, climate-change deniers, nativists, gay-bashers and anti-abortionists cannot govern America. Yet even if they lose the presidency on Election Day they're still likely to be in charge of at least one house of Congress.
Twenty years ago, Bill Clinton demonstrated his centrist credentials by criticizing controversial rapper Sistah Souljah. Expressing a similar statement about the Tea Party, Rush Limbaugh or some other visible right wing figure would help Romney accomplish the same thing.
Will Romney lead the GOP with the brand of decency that is his heritage, or will he choose instead to outsource indecency and mudslinging to surrogates and Super PACs?
Every week, Sergio, our resident chancludo, will turn a critical eye on political shenanigans, and current issues and events with his chancla firmly in hand.
In honor of birthers and conspiracy theorists everywhere, the Obama campaign is re-releasing its limited-edition "Made in the USA" mugs.
