Buzz Cut: Obama tries to buy a thrill Baier Tracks: Stakes a mile high Orman: Party pick only valid until spring Pryor double fumbles on Ebola Would the juror driving the silver Mazda please see the bailiff

OBAMA TRIES TO BUY A THRILLThe hard and bitter sentiment against President Obamas policies, foreign and domestic, is plenty to drive Republican voter enthusiasm. But how can you get Democrats to the polls at a time when the partys base is deeply disillusioned over a 30-year war and the Senate looks like a lost cause? Cash. U.S. News explores a $60 million Democratic grassroots voter turnout initiative, but the real sums being spent are likely more than quadruple that once we factor in deep-pocketed party patrons and labor unions. But however big the push, can you recreate the Obama magic recipe for victory without the key ingredient: an enthusiastic voter base? Having been forced to not only expand the war in Iraq and Syria but also abandon some plans for enthusing Democrats and trolling conservatives, the president cant do much to get the band back together. So the only thing left to do is go see the millionaires and billionaires in hopes that they will underwrite a massive get-out-the vote effort to close the gap in key states.

M.O. moves for Quinn - Chicago Sun-Times: Team [Pat Quinn, D-Ill.] is pulling out all the stops in star-studded political endorsements and the latest is a new TV ad where First Lady Michelle Obama urges voters to back Quinn for reelection. The release of her TV ad comes one day before she leads a political rally for Quinn at UIC on Tuesday. It also follows Michelle Obama's radio ad and follows the president's visit to boost Quinn last week.

BUBBA TELLS VOTERS TO IGNORE OBAMAByron York: In what is likely to become a theme of the last weeks of campaigning before the midterm elections, former President Bill Clinton all but begged voters here in Arkansas not to use their vote as an expression of disapproval for Barack Obama [Republicans] are really running against the president, aren't they? Clinton said. They see the polls, the president is unpopular in Arkansas. They want you to make this a protest vote, Clinton continued. They're saying, You may like these [Democrats], but hey, you know what you've got to do. You've got to vote against the president. After all, it's your last shot.

Hillary echoes Panetta - Ottawa Citizen: Hillary Clinton said Monday that military action against Islamic extremists in Iraq and Syria is essential to stop the growth of ISIL outside the region. Clinton, the former U.S. secretary of state who is likely to seek the Democratic nomination for the 2016 presidential race, made the comments in an appearance in Ottawa. This kind of jihadist extremism is expansionary, Clinton told several hundred people at the conference hosted by the Canada 2020 think-tank. Overall, Clinton said that there may be 50,000 to 100,000 hard-core jihadists in the world right now. I think we turn away from it at our peril, she said. This is a long-term struggle and we just have to be sensible about it, and be smart, and learn the lessons from the past.
