ABOUT LAST NIGHT – “Lady Gaga shows at Obama fundraiser” – AP/Atherton, Calif.: “Lady Gaga was among the guests at a Silicon Valley fundraiser for President Obama. The intimate gathering was held under a tent in the yard of Facebook chief operating officer Sheryl Sandberg on Sunday night. Gaga wore a black, sleeveless gown and high heels, and with her hair piled up she towered over the Silicon Valley elites who were paying up to $35,800 per couple to attend. Gaga attended as a paying guest. She said last week that she wanted to meet with Obama to discuss her concerns about bullying.” --POTUS, at a DNC brunch fundraiser in Medina, Wash.: “2012 is going to be tough. … [T]here is a lot of revisionist history that says our [’08] campaign was perfect and we never had any problems, and it was all just the big ‘hope’ posters, and everybody was feeling good -- Bruce Springsteen singing. (Laughter.) That wasn’t how it felt when I was in the middle of it. (Laughter and applause.) “So this stuff is always hard. But this is going to be especially hard, because a lot of people are discouraged and a lot of people are disillusioned about the capacity of their leadership and of government to make significant changes … that impact them in a positive way. But I’m determined, because there is too much at stake. The alternative, I think, is an approach to government that will fundamentally CRIPPLE AMERICA in meeting the challenges of the 21st century. And that’s not the kind of society that I want to bequeath to Malia and Sasha -- and your children and your grandchildren.” TOP TALKER -- Newsweek 5-page spread, “ROGER’S REALITY SHOW: First, Ailes dialed back the Tea Party talk.

And if that makes you laugh incredulously, see a href=”http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2011/09/27/why_shouldn_t_obama_be_in_trouble”Rush Limbaugh/a, taking a dig at Perry (and Romney) while discussing Herman Cain’s straw poll victory in Florida: blockquoteHerman Cain won the straw poll in Florida. Why do you think he won the straw poll in Florida? You want to know why Herman Cain won the straw poll in Florida? ‘Cause you can’t find one example of Herman Cain, at any point in this campaign, not being a conservative [..] pI know where this country is. I know what the people of this country want and they don’t want John McCain, Jr. They don’t want another moderate Republican to work with the other side. They don’t want somebody who wants to cut it both ways on illegal immigration or on health care. They want a conservative./p /blockquote pAnd a href=”http://www.glennbeck.com/2011/09/23/perry-doubles-down-on-immigration-you-dont-have-a-heart/”Glenn Beck/a and his sidekick Pat:/p blockquote“There’s nobody on this stage who has spent more time working on border security than I have. For a decade I’ve been the governor of a state with a 1200-mile border with Mexico. We put $400 million of our taxpayer money into securing that border. We’ve got our Texas Ranger recon teams there now. I supported Arizona’s immigration law by joining in that lawsuit to defend it. Every day I have Texans on that border that are doing their job, but if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state from no other reason than they’ve been brought there, by no fault of their own, I don’t think you have a heart,” Perry said. p“That is a progressive talking point, that you don’t have a heart, you don’t like children. Shut up. Don’t give me that,” Pat said./p p“It’s the old Rick Perry,” Glenn suggested./p /blockquote pThe “old Rick Perry”? That would be the one who was a Democrat. So yeah, he’s now a liberal./p pSo what does this Fox News poll tell us? It tells us that GOP primary voters are now flirting with strongHerman Cain/strong—the conservative version of “some of my best friends are black”! It makes them feel good about themselves, without actually having to vote for him come election day./p pIt tells us that strongNewt Gingrich/strong is getting some traction. Can you believe it? Newt! It’ll be interesting to see if his boomlet is confirmed by other polling./p pIt tells us that strongMichele Bachmann/strong is doing her best to make me look like a fool for a href=”http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/06/27/988434/-Why-Michele-Bachmann-will-be-the-GOP-nominee”predicting/a she’ll be the nominee. Am I recanting? Not yet. Maybe I’m just stubborn, but I still don’t see a viable ballot box alternative for the teabagger set./p pstrongRick Santorum/strong certainly hopes he’s there to pick up the pieces after the inevitable demise of Cain’s boomlet. Michele Bachmann will try to win her defectors back. strongSarah Palin/strong will be tempted to fill that void. You know she’s chaffing at her sudden irrelevance. Getting in the race would bring back the spotlight./p pBut in all of this, look at poor Romney. He’s still in those low 20s—the sum total of Wall Street Republicans and conservatives who can read the polls and want the most electable candidate in 2012. No matter what other candidates do, Mittens treads water, forgotten by the other 75 percent or so Republicans looking for the purest conservative./p pAnd that’s why the GOP establishment continues their search for savior—that mythical creature who is acceptable to Wall Street, is acceptable to the teabaggers, iand/i is electable in a matchup against Obama. Is it strongChris Christie/strong? Is it strongMitch Daniels/strong? Is it strongzombie Ronald Reagan/strong? (Certainly not the latter. Reagan would be unceremoniously booted from the modern day GOP without hesitation.)/p pThe GOP establishment would be thrilled with Romney as the nominee. They just know he can’t survive the GOP’s primary electorate. And the alternative (Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Santorum, etc) is just as scary to them as it is to us./p pa href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2SCgk-O57u6Sm33-urW2irSdT0Y/0/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2SCgk-O57u6Sm33-urW2irSdT0Y/0/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/abr/ a href=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2SCgk-O57u6Sm33-urW2irSdT0Y/1/da”img src=”http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/2SCgk-O57u6Sm33-urW2irSdT0Y/1/di” border=”0″ ismap=”true”/img/a/pdiv class=”feedflare” a href=”http://feeds.dailykos.com/~ff/dailykos/index?a=eUYrVd7jigQ:yuLJuBxGu94:H0mrP-F8Qgo”img src=”http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/dailykos/index?d=H0mrP-F8Qgo” border=”0″/img/a /divimg src=”http://feeds.feedburner.
