SAM STEIN, “'Moneyball' Godfather Bill James Tackles Politics In Super PAC Age”: “James is the high priest of baseball number-crunching. … ‘If you're outspent in a campaign, what you absolutely cannot do is start a pissing contest, pardon my French,’ James wrote in an email. ‘If you're outspent and you start talking about your opponent being corrupt and senile, you're in BIG trouble, because he's got a lot more guns than you have.’ Instead of going negative, he advised, a candidate should do the exact opposite. ‘Talk about your opponent in the nicest terms that you CAN, in order to take certain weapons away from him … If you're speaking well of your opponent and your opponent is savaging you, there is a chance he comes off looking like an ass and you can win the election.’ … “James suggested a candidate run on a platform distinct from either major party (anti-drug war, pro-gay rights).

CBS News Logo Obama names his favorite conspiracy theory about himself
There are plenty of crazy stories about President Obama that have circulated on the Internet and beyond, but the president said there's one he finds particularly amusing. Asked to name the most entertaining Obama conspiracy theory, Mr. Obama said to GQ Magazine: "That military exercises we were doing in Texas were designed to begin martial law so that I could usurp the Constitution and stay in power longer. Anybody who thinks I could get away with telling Michelle I'm going to be president any longer than eight years does not know my wife." The president was referring to the anxious speculation surrounding "Jade Helm 15," a three-month long military training exercise that took place earlier this year, spanning seven states. Some in Texas grew concerned the Obama administration was planning to "take over" the state after some conservative websites seized on an Army map that labeled Texas and Utah has "hostile" for the purposes of the simulation. Of course, the federal government would … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Obama names his favorite conspiracy theory about himself
CBS News Logo Obama: NRA rejected invitations to the White House “repeatedly”
President Obama on Thursday evening slammed the National Rifle Association for rejecting opportunities to discuss gun violence with him. He also accused the powerful gun lobby group for purveying the myth that he's interested in taking away Americans' guns. "We have invited them repeatedly, but if you listen to the rhetoric, it is so over the top, and so overheated," the president said during a town hall event sponsored by CNN. "I'm happy to talk to them, but, the conversation has to be based on facts and truth, and what we're actually proposing, not some -- you know, imaginary fiction in which Obama's trying to take away your guns." Mr. Obama noted that gun sales in the U.S. typically spike whenever he introduces a new rule regarding guns, or whenever there's a mass shooting. "Part of the reason is that the NRA has convinced many of its members that somebody's going to come grab your guns, which is by the way, really profitable for the gun manufacturers," he said. The president … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Obama: NRA rejected invitations to the White House “repeatedly”
