Romney plays flag football, Biden heads to PA

Here are two very different articles:

1. This one is about Romney's flag football game with journalists from the New York Times. It also discusses the ignorance of voters and the importance of the story or narrative of this election:
"This would be merely amusing if the media’s fixation with “narrative” didn’t actually affect the race. But it does. While a lot of people watched the first Obama-Romney debate, lots of people also did not watch; many only heard about it via media chatter and maybe from their friends/family/acquaintances. What major pundits say really does make a difference, unfortunately, since conventional wisdom trickles down to voters who don’t have the interest or the time to pay attention—all they’ll hear is Romney “exceeded expectations” or Obama looked “unpresidential,” and they won’t know that those verdicts were arrived at on Twitter 20 minutes into the debate by people largely disinterested in substance or policy."

2. This article is from a very different website, breitbart.com. It talks about Biden visiting Pennsylvania. The most interesting part for me was not the ridiculous writing, but the comments below the piece. One commentator even posted a song, labelled: "JOE BIDEN- WHITE HOUSE IDIOT AND CLOWN."
