White House Takes Five Hours to Comment on FRC Shooting

The White House is coming under criticism from pro-life advocates for not issuing a condemnation of the shooting of a security guard at the offices of the Family Research Council, a pro-life group.

UPDATE: Not until after 6:30 p.m. ET did the White House respond. Obama finally commented, saying 'this type of violence has no place in our society."

Romney commented on the shooting, saying: "I am appalled by the shooting today at the offices of the Family Research Council in our nation's capital. There is no place for such violence in our society. My prayers go out to the wounded security guard and his family, as well as all the people at the Family Research Council whose sense of security has been shattered by today's horrific events." Ref.

Romney's selection of the seven-term congressman from Wisconsin helps turn the battleground state from "Lean Obama" to true "Toss-up" on CNN's electoral map.

In the survey, conducted after Ryan's selection, 49% of registered voters in Wisconsin said they back Obama, with 45% supporting Romney. The margin is within the survey's sampling error. Ref. CNN

With three days to go until the start of the Republican convention, President Barack Obama and GOP challenger Mitt Romney remain deadlocked in the race for the White House, according to a new national survey.

A CNN/ORC International poll released Friday also indicates Romney's favorable rating among those likely to vote in the presidential election is in the same ballpark as the president's, and the survey also points to a slightly higher level of enthusiasm for Republicans than Democrats.

According to the poll, 49% of likely voters say they're backing Obama, with 47% supporting Romney. The 2-point margin is within the survey's sampling error, meaning the race is a statistical tie. Ref. CNN
