A Republican appointed to the Electoral College, Melinda Wadsley was expected to cast her vote for Mitt Romney if he won the state of Iowa in the presidential election.
Wadsley decided Thursday she couldn't in good conscience vote for Romney...
[..]
"I have always been a straight-ticket Republican, and for the first time in my life I am an undecided voter, therefore, I need to resign my position as a Republican presidential elector," Wadsley said in an email exchange with The Associated Press.

Danm dust!
Good morning!
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney is expected to begin receiving regular intelligence briefings from the Obama administration in the coming days.
Senior aides report that the Romney campaign is nearing the conclusion of a required security clearance process. The former Massachusetts governor did not have to request the briefings. They are customary for major-party candidates after their nominating conventions.
With limited intelligence information, Romney struggled this week to respond in real time to a violent clash in Libya that left four Americans dead, including an ambassador. Before the deaths were confirmed, Romney mischaracterized the incident in his initial statement and accused President Barack Obama of a "disgraceful" handling of violence.
Romney has been relying on his foreign policy advisers and published news reports to inform his positions on world affairs.
And then as protesters scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on Tuesday, Romney's campaign relied heavily on a close adviser - Rich Williamson, a former aide to Sen. John McCain - in drafting a late-night statement accusing Obama of "disgraceful" handling of the attacks. The next day, after drawing strong criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike, members of this group were on conference calls with Romney himself, discussing how to move forward. McCain advised Romney to give a major foreign affairs speech laying out his critique of Obama before the end of the week.
Here's a look at Romney's advisers who inform his worldview.

Morning, comrades!
There's a new ad from Rmoney making the rounds in MA. He's accusing el Presidente of doing nothing "7 times" to stop China's "cheating" while taking manufacturing jobs away from Americans. What the hell is that about?
Copy of ad can be found here.
I'm not drawing a moral parallel here, but neither Mitt nor the terror cells like how hard this president goes after terrorists.

That's awesome. Go to London - insult our closest ally. Campaign in the US-insult our largest trading partner.
The mind boggles at whan a Romney presidency would do for the world.

And don;t be afraid to get some Zythromax if it doesn't get batter in a week. I told people that if phegm was fat -- I would have dropped to a size 4 in the month of August.
I'm not kidding. We went thru about 20+ boxes of tissues in less than 3 weeks time.

I'm hoping the Collings Foudation heavies fly in before I have to leave today. My building is right under the appoach to Worcester Airport, and we're expecting 20,000 horsepower of radials attached to a B-17 and B-24 today.

Herr Mondo, you have no idea. Of the 12 flying B-17s in the world, I have tracked down and seen 6 in the air. I've also been fortunate to see one of the two flying Lancasters left, and one of the 3 flyable Lockheed Constellations remaining, along with the only airworthy B-24J.

Good day, folks. That story of this film just gets weirder and weirder. It's too weird to even be a conspiracy theory which probably shows how pathetic right-wing operatives are. I guess I should be glad that except when I work MASN I don't really get to see the political ads and I have even seen the ads Macaca's throwing against Tim Kaine in the VA Governor's race and apparently there's a ballot initiative on gambling in Maryland. Even TriSec can't escape them because New Hampshire is part of the Boston TV market so there are ad buys in Boston aimed at New Hampshire voters.

The Kaine/Allen race is the senate. Gov is next year I think.
