Democratic candidate for governor Charlie Crist got a boost from Bill Clinton Saturday night at the Florida Democratic Party’s Leadership Blue gala.

Not only pleased — beaming!
Todd and Trig Palin were all smiles today for Trig’s first day of school:

So, therefore sweet.
Naturally, some jerks couldn’t resist getting nasty, cracking exhausted jokes about Sarah Palin’s cleverness:

Twitter is buzzing (but all mellow-like) with the news that President Obama was a huge fan of the ganja and was quite the weed connoisseur. David Maraniss’ biography is due out soon and advanced copies are, of course, floating around.
Obama Pot-Smoking Details Revealed in New Book http://t.co/MUUEwM7y

Not only was President Obama a big old toker, he bogarted it too! That aggression should not stand.
New biography details Obama's pot-smoking 'interceptions' http://t.co/6YsHMbL6
— Los Angeles Times (@latimes) May 25, 2012
More from the Los Angeles Times:
In this case, Maraniss describes how Obama and a group of high school buddies from the exclusive Punahou School in Honolulu would hang out together to sample – extensively – the island’s copious varieties of weed. Obama, himself, described the pot smoking of his youth in his memoir of growing up, “Dreams From My Father,” but left many of the details unsaid.
Unlike Bill Clinton, who famously claimed that he had smoked, but never inhaled, Obama’s friends credited him with setting a rule of “total absorption”: anyone who exhaled prematurely lost his next turn at the joint. And he was known, Maraniss reports, for “Interceptions”: “When a joint was making the rounds, he often elbowed his way in, out of turn, shouted ‘Intercepted!’ and took an extra hit.”
We guess he felt entitled. Some things never change!
On a heavy and disturbing news day, the Maui-wowie revelations are a much needed mock break. As you can see, the blogosphere had some fun with President Obama and his “choom gang.”

Along with TA, Barry popularized the concept of “roof hits”: when they were chooming in the car all the windows had to be rolled up so no smoke blew out and went to waste; when the pot was gone, they tilted their heads back and sucked in the last bit of smoke from the ceiling.
What happened to his disdain for wasteful spending?
When Joe Biden talked about Obama’s “big stick,” we didn’t realize he really said “likes to blow a stick.” We are also pretty sure “arugula” is a code word. This also explains Michelle Obama’s obsession with junk food. She’s totally tired of the President and his munchies.
Twitter users had a blast (without the joint) as well.

From the ABC article:
1) CHOOM GATE A blogger who attended the same high school as Obama, the Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawaii, HAS POSTED HERE the page of “Barry Obama” from his senior class yearbook.
Obama’s senior class note includes a reference to the “Choom Gang,” which the blogger claims was a reference to marijuana, though his office demurs from exlpaining what it meant. (Obama has admitted marijuana and cocaine use during his teenage years.)

The Daily Mail’s Tony Harnden is reporting today that internal polling from the Mitt Romney campaign shows the GOP candidate with narrow leads in Ohio, New Hampshire and Iowa. The numbers also show the two candidates dead even in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
According to last night’s numbers as collected by campaign pollster Neil Newhouse, Romney leads by 1 point in Ohio, 3 in New Hampshire and 2 in Iowa. Both Wisconsin and Pennsylvania are said to be dead even.
As Twitchy reported earlier, Romney will be campaigning in Pittsburgh, Pa. and Cleveland, Ohio on Election Day.

Unicorns? Please try to keep up, Media Matters. We’re discussing poll numbers, not Obama campaign promises.
Doubters believe the “leak” of internal numbers is a ploy to rev up the GOP base.
There’s a reason Romney is releasing his “internal” polls.Cause every single public poll shows him going down. #revvingupthetroops
— Chris In Alabama (@ChrisNBama) November 5, 2012
Yes, we’ve seen those public polls, like CNN’s poll released yesterday with a ridiculous D+11 sample.
BEST polls are always internal polls. They aren’t meant for the public, they tell candidate real story good or bad. Romney’s say up in 0hio.
