WASHINGTON POST OP-ED: Why isn’t Romney richer? Perhaps because 'at some point, he'd made enough money'?

NEXT STOP: the International Space Station. If the Dragon capsule returns successfully, I'll declare that the era of commercial space has begun.

THE DINNER TABLE:

ROMNEY RUMOR: GOP Wants to Ban Tampons.

(Hint: the link is a satire, people.)

SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE JOHN BOEHNER: Families, Job Creators “Buried” By the President’s “Fiscal Cliff” & More.

1.3 MILLION PEOPLE got Social Security disability payments for ‘mood disorders’.

And therein lies the fundamental problem with ObamaCare: eventually everything even remotely related to health care will be included in the 'basic package' that all taxpayers will have to pay for.

As a female friend of mine just noted, "Can you imagine if every women who has gone thru menopause (millions of us) applied and received mood disorder disability payments, we would have bankrupted Social Security years and year ago." The same thing can will happen to ObamaCare.

LET MAKE BIG BIRD go to work.

THE UNDECIDEDS are beginning to break.

It looks 50-50 to me. If that continues, I believe Romney will win.

A STEALTH ELECTION? Ohio may not be as close as it seems.

OBAMA'S NOT A SOCIOPATH; he's a progressive.

MARK STEYN: Sesame Nation.

REMEMBER THAT as California goes, so goes the nation.

FROM HOPE & CHANGE to mope & blame. It's never the empty suit's fault.

OBAMA'S SOCIAL SECURITY ANSWER leaves democrats utterly baffled. What's baffling about 'punt'? It's been Obama's response to everything since he took office in 2009.

MORE: Team Obama declares war on Social Security.

DAY BY DAY: "His nappies need a change."

AND YOU WANTED OBAMACARE? New York State Seeks to Limit Doctor Visits for 'Benchmark' ObamaCare Plan. Take your ticket and get in line....

VIRGINIA ATTORNEY GENERAL KEN CUCCINELLI on the need for a Republican Senate:

Remember the Supreme Court case that upheld the Federal Healthcare Bill in June?

Of course you do. It was a heartbreaking loss for conservatives. However, all hope is not lost.

Mitt Romney has been saying that he'll repeal the Federal healthcare bill on day one of his presidency. In order for him to repeal a law, he needs a bill to hit his desk.

The Supreme Court upheld the bill by ruling the mandate as a tax. A tax bill is a revenue bill. Revenue bills only need 51 votes to pass - they can't be filibustered. That means if we get 50 Senators and Paul Ryan as the tiebreaker, the Federal healthcare bill will be repealed.

Virginia is sending a new U.S. Senator to Washington. It will either be Tim Kaine and a vote for the Federal healthcare bill, or it will be George Allen and a vote to repeal this abomination.

From my email. And vote for the Republican wherever you can.

OBAMACARE'S ENTIRE APPROACH ... "is premised on the idea that we are all alike. And if we aren't alike, everything they are doing doesn't make sense.... [But we] are not all alike. And our health care shouldn't be either."

HEH. Obama's debate notes. Take note of the name of the linked website -- it's a nearly perfect description of President Obama following the first presidential debate.

PAUL GREENBERG: The Choice Just Got Clearer.
