Three Times

That’s how many times the embattled people in the consulate and safe house were denied help.

And what’s worse, there was an AC-130 orbiting, but the administration refused to allow it to fire. This is starting to look like manslaughter.

Too bad there’s not a Republican in the White House. If there were, maybe someone other than Fox News would be covering this stuff.

[Update a few minutes later]

It’s not Blackhawk down again. “It’s worse. Recall that the major problem in BD was the UN commander was unwilling to risk casualties to protect forward US positions and troops in the city. This is the US unwilling to protect its own. It’s like we have the UN for an administration or something.”

Or something.

The Popular Vote

Barring some major shift, Romney will win it.

Geraghty’s analysis is buttressed by the latest Gallup results of voter composition, misleadingly titled “2012 U.S. Electorate Looks Like 2008.” They’re referring to race, age and gender, but if you look at the party composition, it actually looks more like 2010. That is, another wave election against the Democrats. Combining that with other poll results means Romney plus six or seven in the popular vote (that is, basically a reversal of 2008). It also means that even blue states like Connecticut or New Jersey could be in play. In addition, it probably means long coat tails, with a solid Republican majority in the Senate.
