“Senate Republican leadership aide” promptly e-mailed Politico’s Mike Allen to say, “Background guidance: The president killed any chance of its success by 1) Embracing it. 2) Hailing the fact that it increases taxes. 3) Saying it mirrors his own plan.”

That's... really juvenile.

Rubio: The White House Never Asked My Advice On New Immigration Plan

This is hilarious, truly. Not only the "I'm the center of the universe!" type attitude, but accusing Obama of politicizing when Rubio's been slinging mud at him about his version since day one.

I hope that when Rubio runs for president in 2016 or whenever that Jeb Bush kicks his ass in the primary.

They've become hilariously single issue. All Obama has to do is keep putting stuff they want into law and then watch them turn against it, alienating even more and more of their base.

On another topic, this GOP Rep from TX has made comments in the past and he really should find a way to get a non-comical photo to accompany stories about him.

I know that I was too rebellious to break the law at that age.

Well the number of seniors will decrease between now and the election.

Obama could win in a landslide and pick up Congressional supermajorities and it'd be bad news for Obama.

Colorado was the tipping point state in 2008 so if Obama wins it in 2012 he's probably good. There's always the chance he loses WI or NH I guess but I doubt it.

Also, seniors were 20% of the CO electorate in 2008. If those numbers held they'd have to make up almost half the electorate to give Romney a chance.

Why do people continue to list NH as a toss up? I haven't seen enough polls to suggest Romney has a chance there

Well, Obama's team considers it a toss-up, and of the NE states, it's pretty swingy. Plus it might be the one state where Romney's supposed home state advantage could actually kick in for him, I don't think he's too disliked there.

You can easily find the falsehoods Romney is spreading in his speeches. They rank 3-4 times as bad as Obama's worst claims. Has anybody heard the media anywhere question them?

The only falsehood that matters to me, and that both parties are guilty of, is that the baby boomers made themselves pension and health care promises without making investments or having enough kids to pay for them. Repubs pretend tax increases won't happen and Dems pretend structural changes are unnecessary.

Bloomberg Poll: 64% back Obama's Immigration plan
The Bloomberg Poll released Tuesday showed 64% of likely voters backed the shift, which would allow the children of illegal immigrants who meet certain requirements to stave off deportation for two years. Although 30% of those surveyed disagreed with the president, coveted independent voters agreed with the decision by better than a two-to-one margin.

The latest poll results underscore a challenge for the presumptive Republican presidential candidate as he attempts to court the Latino vote, the nation's largest ethnic minority who strongly supported Obama's candidacy in 2008.

Republican senator and high profile Romney backer Marco Rubio dropped plans on Monday to introduce his own immigration legislation that would grant work visas to some young Americans who entered the U.S. illegally. Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said Obama's announcement "took away our momentum and made the politics a lot tougher."

Obama and Romney are scheduled to address the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials annual conference later in the week in Florida, a key general election battleground state with a large Hispanic population.

We just need to wait for all the baby boomers to die off.

On topic: just heard a report that Marco Rubio is not being vetted and is presumably out of the running for VP. Not that anyone believed he was in, but here's confirmation.

Please withdraw my Presidential Erection from submission. It's about 20 years late.

Oh, you forgot Clinton was elected TWENTY YEARS AGO this year? LOL, you're old.
