The battle is on for the youth vote
As both candidates jockey for younger voters, Romney sought to neutralize the president's advantage by coming out in favor of the Obama plan that would freeze rates on student loans. Young voters aren't as enthusiastic about Obama as they were four years ago, so this is smart politics from Romney. It's one of the key blocs of the Obama coalition where Romney can make some inroads. Meanwhile, Obama's looking to shore up support in college towns -- he's in Chapel Hill, NC and Boulder, CO today. And he tapes an interview with Jimmy Fallon.
Meanwhile Romney is expected to win all five primaries tonight - in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware (no surprise) and he'll celebrate by kicking off his general election campaign in New Hampshire tonight.
Polls: Obama's leading Romney in New Hampshire, whose four electoral votes could be critical in a tight race. And the president is within the margin of error in Arizona, a state that's long been on the wishlist of Democrats hoping to expand the map.
The Obama campaign is up with new TV ads in Florida, Colorado and Nevada.
Democrats are holding their convention in Charlotte, but Politico points out that North Carolina is souring on Pres. Obama and his party.
Newt Gingrich is hinting he may drop out of the race if he can't win Delaware tonight. It's a state some Romney folks think Gingrich could actually win.
VEEPSTAKES: Nate Silver questions whether picking a vice presidential running mate can really help a presidential candidate pick up his #2's home state.
Romney campaigned in Pennsylvania yesterday with Florida Senator Marco Rubio, one of the most mentioned choices for the veep slot.
THE EDWARDS TRIAL: It all comes down to whether jurors will believe the former Senator or his one-time top adviser Andrew Young.

It's hilarious to me that Romney claims he's in favor of freezing rates on college loans when all the rest of the Republicans aren't. Gee I wonder how that would work out if he was elected President? Romney the king of saying whatever it takes to be liked or to be elected. The problem is that makes for a horrible leader.
I fully expect Romney to claim within the next couple of months that he is half African American and half Democrat just to pander to those groups. HA!
its hilarious that obama says hes against subsidies for oil companys after he voted for them

see - now rice will not take you to court in florida with zimmerman. i am big fan tovarich. your Black Russian joke was very funny - sorry i was slow to get it. you were much funnier when you pretended to be comrade mika - now that you are old man from iowa with testosterone problem and old broken nose you are not so. hope insurance pays for your medicine.
tell me - my records show that you have started to post to 8 day old dead posts. 10 maybe 15% of your posts no one reads. only adam_selene reads and i must read all of them. do posts that no one reads still count? i only ask since i need some money too and am old like you. i think i could do your job. "msnbc ratings in toilet not like #1Fox who tell real truth about black panther commie loving obama who will not tell racebaiter hosts of msnbc to stop killing white jews. lol bye bye obama."
i think i am pretty good but not sure i can post 10 a day like you do 24/7. you must never sleep. i look at your posting times is terrible schedule. at least you are not lazy but i feel sorry for you. only rest you had was 4/2 when you only posted 2 times. bet you got into big trouble and have had to work hard to catch up.
i am sorry that people have started to ignore you just when you were trying to write more meaningful posts. that must hurt. perhaps if you try make new friends with posters who do not know you, you can get them to read. dont worry i will read them. i have no choice is part of community service i must serve for posting someone elses work on msnbc without giving proper source. thats why i try to help you tovarich so you not end up like me. it would be cruel punishment for you to have to write 10 post a day and then be forced to read them.
remember comrade, pravda means truth - perhaps they have blog.
