Morning Must Reads: Boning Up

By Adam Sorensen | @adamsorensen | October 26, 2011 | +

Perry’s first TV ad debuts today in Iowa, marking the start of the 2012 air wars.

The highest earners would benefit from Perry’s optional flat tax, the lowest earners would not, and middle-income earners would need accountants to figure out things one way or the other.
It doesn’t exactly qualify in the simplicity or fiscal derbies.
National Review’s editors are unimpressed.
Did Romney really revolutionize the corporate takeover game?
He steps in it re Ohio collective bargaining.
Regulatory tyranny under Obama is a fiction.
Congressional leadership steps in to “save” the deficit supercommittee.
Cain still doesn’t understand that “pro-life” means “I want the government to make abortion illegal,” not “I’m personally opposed to abortion.”

I am pro-life from conception. Abortions, no exceptions. That has been my official stand from the beginning. What Piers Morgan was trying to do was to pigeonhole me on, “Well, what if this was your granddaughter?” You know what? If it’s my granddaughter? Yes, this is my official position, and it’s always been that. If it’s my granddaughter? I used the word “choice.” And that’s where they jumped all over it. A family will make that choice. I was not talking about the whole big issue.

He’s boning up on foreign policy: “Almost every day… Cain is handed a one-page briefing from his chief foreign policy adviser on news from around the world.”
And Colbert makes a few more Cain campaign videos.

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.
