You Gotta Believe

• “[Y]‘all seen this television ad on, where Hillary’s opponent says I don’t take money from oil companies? …[G]uess what? … It’s been illegal to take political contributions from oil companies for 100 years. It’s almost like saying, you know, ‘Vote for me, I brush my teeth every morning.’ Or, ‘Vote for me, I never robbed a bank.’ Or, you know. I say that, because this is not about advertisements.” [Hotline]

• “Mitt Romney was the candidate I feared the most.” [WSJ]

• “Of course a film about 2000 wouldn’t be complete without Longboat Key’s Katherine Harris.. Actress Laura Dern plays Harris, the then Florida’s Secretary of State who certified the election results.” [Harold Tribune]

• “Nevermind that Hillary Clinton hasn’t ever really ever done anything for the gay community. They just like her moxie. … Surprisingly, they like my Diva theory. To them, a diva is exactly what we need in the White House.” [TPM]

• “Now it turns out the Colbert Bump is real.” [FBNY]

• “[S]ince the pronouncements of improvement in Iraq have come from such an unreliable messenger, the Bush Administration, they have been easy to discount. Perhaps too easy.” [Also TPM]

    The Phony War: Obama and Romney Are Debating Character, Not Policy

    More than five months from Election Day, the back-and-forth about Mitt Romney’s record at Bain already feels played out. Unfortunately, there’s good reason to expect the campaign continues in this vein indefinitely. Neither Barack Obama nor Mitt Romney are terribly interested in dwelling on policy platforms. Romney’s plan to slash spending and keep taxes low on the wealthy isn’t especially popular, at least not at any level of detail beyond a blithe promise to shrink the deficit. Meanwhile, Obama’s signature first-term achievements, like health care, the stimulus and Wall Street reform, are all unpopular or tricky to sell. (The Dodd-Frank bill is the most popular of these, but hyping it means offending wealthy donors.) So what we’re getting instead is a superficial duel about character–and, worse, one that’s based on the largely false premise that the better man can better “manage” the economy back to health.
