...only hiccup in Obama's final day came in Rochester, where a small group of protesters in the balcony of the Rochester Opera House interrupted his stump speech with a chant, "Abortion is an abomination." When Obama's backers began to drown out the dissidents with their own cheers, Obama hushed the crowd by saying, "This is an example of not listening to each other." But when the chanters would not stop, and the event seemed unable to continue, Obama moved toward a staircase to the balcony, seemingly prepared to talk to the chanters one on one - a dramatic maneuver...
...Gibbs represents the kind of voter that Romney has always appealed to, and the kind of voter Romney targeted back in February, with an announcement speech that extolled "innovation and transformation" (synonyms for change!) and used the metaphor of a laboratory to exemplify the kind of technocratic, rational approach he would bring to the presidency.

He delivered a new stump speech, retailored for the less religious and more libertarian New Hampshire voter. It was full of big statements about the wonders of America, the need for low taxes and his identification with the little guy. Back in Iowa, Huckabee would often compare slavery and abortion - both resulted, he argued, from ignoring the principle that every human life is created equal. Now in New Hampshire, he begins the same riff, about the horrors of racism...
