Chalk it up to the exhausting task of running a campaign, nerves, or simply a momentary lapse, but Mitt Romney gave the crowd a chuckle this morning when he accidentally referred to his VP pick Paul Ryan as the “next president” of the United States. Mistakes not knowing party lines, Romney is by no means the only candidate who has mistakenly referred to his vice presidential running mate as the “next president’ of the United States. Let’s take a trip back to 2008, when then-presumptive nominee Barack Obama referred to his former Democratic rival Joe Biden as the “next president… next vice president of the United States.” Just a case of history repeating: View the original article here This post was made using the Auto Blogging Software from WebMagnates.org This line will not appear when posts are made after activating the software to full version.

Hot on the heels of Saturday morning’s official introduction of Rep. Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney ‘s vice-presidential running mate (which came hot on the heels of a leak to NBC News, an iPhone announcement, and a press release), President Obama ‘s reelection team released a statement from campaign manager Jim Messina calling Ryan the “architect of the radical Republican House budget,” and predicting that “the Romney-Ryan ticket would take us back by repeating the same, catastrophic mistakes” that were made during the Bush era.

Here’s what that is: McSweeney’s, the publisher that has brought you Grantland and works from countless acclaimed writers like Michael Chabon and Stephen King , has launched a new website by that name, solely dedicated to convincing readers to vote for Obama this November.

Prompted by last night’s slaying of three American troops stationed overseas, Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough expressed his frustration and anger over the ongoing situation in Afghanistan. American Special Forces, as Mika Brzezinski reported, has been invited to dinner meeting by a local police commander. As they were eating, the Afghan official and his cohorts opened fire on the troops. “Why are we there?” asked Scarborough. “We’ve been asking for three years.
