Morning Clo:

Both sides seem to be reinforcing their bases rather than reaching out to the middle. Both only seem comfortable within their respective cocoons.

WASHINGTON - The Education Department opened its Race to the Top competition to school districts on Sunday, inviting the poorest districts across the country to vie for almost $400 million in grants.

The Education Department unveiled its final criteria for the district-level competition, which will award 15 to 25 grants to districts that have at least 2,000 students and 40 percent or more who qualify for free or reduced-cost lunches — a key poverty indicator.

Paul Ryan 'not a safe' choice?

Peter Fenn Democratic media consultant :

This is clearly NOT a safe, do-no-harm choice. This is risky and if not totally Palin-redo, it is close. The Ryan-Romney plan for the economy is back to the future, more radical tax cuts for those at the very top and harsh hits on America's middle class, including tax increases. In addition, Medicare will be unrecognizable under their plan and the social safety net that Ronald Reagan embraced will disappear.

It is a dangerous pick. The Romney-Ryan ticket will either talk generalities and keep the specifics of their economic plan "secret" (think Nixon's plan to end the Vietnam War) or they will be honest and up front about how they will pay for $5 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy (think an end to breaks for savings, health care, mortgage interest on your home, child care, etc) - either way they are in deep trouble.

This will solidify the impression of Romney as anti-middle class and the candidate who stands up for the super wealthy in America.
