We counted every story, column, editorial, graphic and photo in all editions of the paper.

He did so, in part, the way millions of other Americans do — with the tax benefits of an individual retirement account. But he was able to turbocharge the impact of those advantages and other tax breaks in his severance package from Bain in a way that few but the country’s super-rich can ever hope to do.

The most affecting part of Ann Romney’s convention speech was — no surprise here — the personal testimonial. Her description of “this boy I met at a high school dance,” tall and nervous, polite to her folks but “really glad when my parents weren’t around.” Early married life in a basement apartment, eating tuna fish and pasta on a fold-down ironing board-turned-dining table.

She laughs easily and provides glimpses of a private down-to-earth Mitt who irons his own shirts and does his own laundry. That, anyway, is the portrait the campaign has been trying to paint through a series of new, intimate interviews with Ann Romney, 63, the one campaign surrogate they believe could dispel a hardening image that her husband is unapproachable and cold.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan kicked off their second day on the road together with a raucous rally here in Mooresville, N.C., a place where the influence of NASCAR is so strong the city is dubbed “Race City USA.” Read full article > > Continue reading Romney, Ryan rally supporters in NASCAR country I believe Ann Romney when she says she’s tougher than she was even four years ago. And nobody who’s raised five boys and gone up against both breast cancer and multiple sclerosis, as she has, was any hothouse orchid to begin with.

Claims Obama wants to ‘kill Romney’ The punch line is at least as old as the eldest baby boomer: “I didn’t get a pony.” Here’s Jerry Seinfeld : “I hated those kids [who had ponies].

On Tuesday, Anna Wintour, the Vogue editor who holds sway over much of the U.S fashion industry, is expected in Chicago, where she and supermodel Iman will join President Obama’s campaign manager, Jim Messina, for a night of stumping.

Here’s the hashtag for you to tweet them: #dontdoublemyrate.” President Obama repeated that Twitter hashtag twice more during a Tuesday speech opposing an increase in student loan interest rates. For good measure, he even had his Chapel Hill, N.C., audience chant it back to him.

The label is bipartisan and multi-network. CNN fills its air with people identified on-screen as either a “Republican strategist” or a “Democratic strategist.” So do Fox News and MSNBC.
