If you thought the national coverage of Mitt Romney's gigantic Jeep lie was bad, you haven't seen anything yet.

October 31st, 2012.  Bloomberg's Al Hunt on Romney's Jeep Ads: "That's Just Desperation"

Welcome to the West Wing Week, your guide to everything that's happening at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. This week, the President reflected on the state of the auto industry, the White House opened its garden doors to the public for its annual tours, and honored blog action day, while Bill Allman spoke on the history of the Presidential Seal.

Jennifer Mulhern Granholm (born February 5, 1959) is a Canadian-born American politician, educator, author and political commentator who served as Attorney General and 47th Governor of the U.S. state of Michigan.

David Brooks over at the New York Times has penned a hilarious bigraphy of Mitt Romney's life.  Here's the start:

The purpose of the Republican convention is to introduce America to the real Mitt Romney. Fortunately, I have spent hours researching this subject. I can provide you with the definitive biography and a unique look into the Byronic soul of the Republican nominee:

Mitt Romney was born on March 12, 1947, in Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Virginia and several other swing states. He emerged, hair first, believing in America, and especially its national parks. He was given the name Mitt, after the Roman god of mutual funds, and launched into the world with the lofty expectation that he would someday become the Arrow shirt man.

Romney was a precocious and gifted child. He uttered his first words ("I like to fire people") at age 14 months, made his first gaffe at 15 months and purchased his first nursery school at 24 months. The school, highly leveraged, went under, but Romney made 24 million Jujubes on the deal.

Mitt grew up in a modest family. His father had an auto body shop called the American Motors Corporation, and his mother owned a small piece of land, Brazil. He had several boyhood friends, many of whom owned Nascar franchises, and excelled at school, where his fourth-grade project, "Inspiring Actuaries I Have Known," was widely admired.

Head over to the NYT to read the entire article.

Mitt Romney's message was clear: "Let Detroit go bankrupt." There's little question he made a fortune from businesses he helped destroy. Romney pocketed huge fees shortly before companies collapsed. Even when the businesses failed, Romney came out ahead. Are those the values we want in an American president? (Priorities USA Action is responsible for the content of this advertising.)
