"President Obama, Vice President Biden and leading congressional Democrats have all scheduled high-profile events next week to counter-program the Republican gathering in Tampa.
"Even first lady Michelle Obama is in on the act, scheduling an appearance on the “David Letterman Show” smack in the middle of Romney’s nominating bash."....
The purpose of the Democratic blitz is clear: With Romney and the Republicans scrambling to defend Romney’s tax history and undo the damage from Rep.

Interview: Akin’s Strategist Elsass Speaks
WSJ, by way of Taegan D. Goddard 's Political Wire "Mr. Elsass said an ad by Mr. Akin asking forgiveness will run through the weekend. Mr. Akin will return to Missouri on Friday—he is now in Tampa—and begin holding a regular campaign events and talking to the local press.

He uses a pseudonym, but I know his name and it will likely come out shortly. The bottom line is that doing this makes you a douche of epic proportions.
