On the heels of the one and only Vice Presidential debate, and just two days before the second-to-last meeting between President Obama and Mitt Romney, we'll have full coverage and analysis of the campaign and what comes next for both sides.

How can the Republican pundits use Clinton's Slick Willy label to rationalize Romney's lies and flip/ flopping?
I respect Tom Brokaw greatly. However I'm amazed by his comment that"neither candidate has told the American people that getting the deficit under control is going to be hard" - did he see any of the Clinton or Obama speeches at the DNC ? - where that pont was made explicitly. I want to hold Obama accountable for his administration's performance as much as anyone but stop misleading people in an effort to come across balanced and unbiased. The media need to get their act together and get out of this malaise. Just because Fox news calls you biased and liberal leaning doesn't mean that you should be neutral to a point of being of little or no value to anyone.
I really need to understand this, Romney has been running for President since 2006, along with all the other people he ran against in the 2012 Primary. The only persons missing from the republican 2008 campaign are Palin and McCain; so I have to ask what is it that independent's need to make a decision about someone they already kicked the tires on several times? Romney was passed over so much that he dropped out of the 2008 campaign and during the 2012 primary he won because the other candidates were just not crazy and extreme enough for the Tea Party and the far right so he managed to get the moderate and center to hold their nose. So now you mean to tell me that the independent voter still need time to make up their minds on two people that they already know. So the only conclusion I can make is that these so called Independent's either did not vote in the last election because who ever they supported did not win the primary or the media is portraying these people as racist but not so racist that they can't be convinced not to elect Romney. The truth of the matter is if you have not made up you mind about a candidate by now, then you don't need to vote, you need to just do noting.
Gregory has Gov McDonnell on from Virginia...this transvaginal probe anti women rights Governor and fails to bring up Roe vs Wade or women's rights....absolutely astounding he give McDonnell a free pass on this extremely important issue...where is Russet...
Funny to see David Gregory heaping praise on Stephen Colbert, when in truth Colbert and Jon Stewart make fun of news anchors like Gregory & "Meet the Puppet.... ahhhh I mean Press" (lol)
On Hannity, Frank Luntz focus group after VP debate ---One older Southern aristocratic type woman called Paul Ryan “debonair” Who uses that word anymore and why would they pick their leaders because of elegance? In 2012 I can’t believe there’s White Women out there voting for a candidate because of their hormones… along with their racist hardhead men have become a rich people groupie cult, celebrity worship for the ages…
Republicans haven’t taken responsibility for last silver spoon, trust fund baby they voted for in 2000-2004, now want to burden Americans with ANOTHER? Only a fool or a traitor would voter for Romney/Ryan.
Romney LIED over 50 times during the debate and his foreign policy speech was a joke by a man with NO SHAME! Who the f**k allowed Mitt Romney stand in front of the military service flags. This coward is a chicken-hawk of the worst kind. Romney was for the Vietnam War but draft dodged in France posing as a Mormon missionary.
Romney foreign policy speech was meant to hypnotize/brainwash the useful tools who vote for Republicans. “Obama/Libya/Arab Spring BAD, Romney/Bomb bomb Iran GOOD”… Let the “little people” fight the war because Frenchy Romney and his 5 goofy sons will be on home soil making billions in war profiteering investments.
Romney/Ryan needed the same chicken hawk talking points George W. Bush had after 9/11. So Big Moneyed, covert op interests began paying off Libyan-Egyptian locals to storm US compounds concerted effort to hurt Obama/Biden before the election. Christian Conservative fanatics set up Mohammed mocking video to create unrest to make Obama look bad. I know, I KNOW… it’s only a coincidence all this bull@!$%# happened just before a Presidential election.
It’s not unlike what the late 70’s Conservative wackos did the Carter Administration? Instead of looking at the HISTORICAL FACTS that big business and the military sabotaged the 4 year Carter Administration. You want me to believe those Iranian fanatic dumb asses thought up taking over the American embassy without right wing hawk CIA help? COME ON! Ollie North was in charge of the FAILED Iran Hostage rescue mission… REALLY? An Oil shortage… REALLY? Inflation… REALLY?
Hey Useful Tools, maybe you tough guys forgot 1983, how Reagan cut & run after 241 Marines were killed in Lebanon imbeciles.
The Billionaire Aristocrats and their Republican Party flunkies have a LOT TO ANSWER FOR! These vain, self-serving, power-mad, greed stricken silver spoon con artists have turned the USA into the United Suckers of America.
Reagan/Bush killed ANTI-TRUST and any regulation that kept industry HONEST. When Reagan/Bush came to power, the USA was #1 on the planet in exporting goods and importing raw materials. This is the very definition of a prosperous economy. By 2006, it is the exact opposite. Why? Years of Republicans selling out the American middle class, that’s why. The Bush’s and a Republican Controlled Congress (1994-2006) gave it up for a very few wealthy families.
And what did these elitists DO? Stall new technology, steal pension funds, move to China, India, Mexico. THIS while paying for those high priced, patriotic commercials, WE LOVE THE USA, THIS IS OUR COUNTRY, etc. BS! (when I snap my fingers you‘ll wake happy and refreshed… lol)
I think we need to focus on those in the TOP 1% Koch Bros, Sheldon Adelson, David Siegel, Bob Perry, Diane Hendricks, Rich Devos, Foster Friess, Louis Moore, Trevor Rees-Jones, Darden Restaurants and those rich @$$holes on the Council for National Policy. Let’s not forget the Neo-Con, War Profiteer, banking scandal, Bush Crime Family types along with their flunkies such as the Mitt Romney, Scott Walker types. An American Aristocracy, who made their fortunes on the backs of American workers… The water, air and wealth of resources used to manufacture the goods. The brain power and innovation, with American ingenuity, technology, ideas… using infrastructure paid for by the American taxpayer… And how did they repay us? The silver spoon, trust fund baby m’f***er’s moved all our jobs to Asia, fouled our environment with stuff that would make a bill goat puke and turned our politicians into a stable of high priced prostitutes.
It used to be called bribery, collusion and all those crimes covered by the RICO Act. These rich guys should be in prison or bottom of the Gulf of Mexico but Nooooo… the Conservative wackos want to elect one of them President.

CAN I GET A WITNESS?
A poor woman came up to Mitt with a baby in her arms and asked: “Can you help us Mitt Romney?” … Yes said Mitt (he handed her a brochure from the Mormon Church. Beautiful Ann gave them a hug while eyeing the cameras)
