Is The Factory Half Full?, Who Believes Rubio?, Ted Nugent, and Dog Wars Jump the Shark, Drunkard's Dream (PM Note)

"Metaphors needn't be explained to educated people." - T. Nugent - http://abcn.ws/J6yqeG

A Drunkard's Dream - There's a metaphor for a day when policy took a backseat to cookies, aging rockers obsessed with the 2nd Amendment and the 1st Amendment, dog chow and prostitutes in Colombia.

George Stephanopoulos Says the Dog Wars Jumped the Shark - "Voters in the end are going to know that Mitt Romney is a good family man and he's got nothing against dogs," said George in his Power Player's video this week. "Voters are going to know that President Obama is not a Muslim or a socialist or someone who hate's America, but a patriotic president."

It's going to be about the economy and who people trust, says George -  http://abcn.ws/HTg9k9
