TGIF. This has been a rough week!

To make things worse our headlines feature a lot of syndicated content. The political world awaits the first Presidential debate between President Barack Obama and GOP nominee Mitt Romney. It’s going to be up to Romney to perform strong and get the naysayers off of his back.

On the local level, GOTV efforts are running at full speed as campaigns tout their phone call and precinct walk numbers. The GOP is declaring that they’ve already past the number of doors knocked by the McCain campaign in 2008 and Orange County has some of the strongest GOTV efforts by both parties in the state.
