It is deeply weird to me that political media spent the better of the morning seriously weighing whether this marginal candidate had done meaningful damage to his marginal campaign by spacing on the name of a city in a country whose civil war most Americans aren't paying attention to. And there's no better expression of that weirdness than the clip below, in which Mark Halperin breathlessly badgers Johnson about it in vintage "what about your gaffes?!" fashion.

Conservatives have a deep and completely principled belief, stemming entirely from abstract constitutional premises and not at all from partisanship or substantive opposition to his policies, that Barack Obama has governed like a dictator. Everything he does is vaguely unconstitutional, from the laws he passes through both chambers of Congress to his enforcement of laws that existed beforehand.
The Democratic state chairman and other local leaders have helped U.S. Senate candidate Ted Strickland kick off an Ohio campaign tour where he'll contrast his record on working families with the record of his November opponent, Republican Sen.

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson framed an embarrassing lapse on foreign affairs as simple human error on Thursday after he responded to a question about a flashpoint in the Syrian civil war by asking, "What is Aleppo?" The gaffe came during an MSNBC interview about the continuing battle for Syria's biggest city, Aleppo, which has been divided for years into government and rebel sectors and has been in the news daily in recent weeks. The embarrassing exchange followed a forum on Wednesday night in which Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and Republican rival Donald Trump sought to showcase their national security and defense credentials.

Hillary Clinton was forced to defend her dubious handling of classified information on her private email server, her ill-fated vote authorizing the war in Iraq and her hawkish instinct to support intervention in Libya. Donald Trump dodged specifics on how he'd destroy the Islamic State group, delivered conflicting answers on how to improve veterans' health care and obscured his past support for the deployment of troops abroad.
As Deborah Ross sharpens her criticisms this week of U.S. Sen. Richard Burr's plan for Medicare, the North Carolina Republican incumbent's office says he's no longer looking for a vote in Congress on the plan he helped draft four years ago.

Donald Trump is the Republican nominee, which is frightening.We must make sure his hateful rhetoric does not even come close... Donald Trump has gone too far with his attacks on Gold Star parents Khizr and Ghazala Khan, whose son Army Capt. Humayun Khan... A Donald Trump White House would be a disaster, and this goes way beyond any ideological difference.
The Dallas Morning News became part of the story yesterday when they announced that they would endorse a Democrat for President for the first time in 75 years. Their editorial is a fairly obvious recitation of the reasons that Donald Trump is manifestly unfit to serve as President, but the fact that the DMN editorial board saw fit to actually endorse Hillary Clinton, as opposed to merely endorsing Gary Johnson or some other third party candidate, is evidence that a growing number of conservatives find themselves obligated to choose actual sides in the Trump v.
