Ron Paul VOWS to push through.
So I was just skimming over some articles and saw this.... "From Nevada, Paul Vows to Push Ahead." I actually "loled" when I read this. It's a short article so I wont say much. Ron Paul vowed to Nevada supporters that he will push AHEAD through the primary. No one even likes Nevada.

The Santorum Family stuck in another tough battle
The rest of the campaign will be rough for Rick Santorum, seeing as his youngest daughter is very prone to medical difficulties, and the fact that he hasn't been close to frontrunner since Iowa. Even though his daughter is looking better now, I do believe that she still has a high risk of getting sick again due to her conditions. I believe that Rick should slow down his campaign to make sure everything is perfectly fine before he starts again, because he shouldn't put more pressure on his family now. Also, even if he went slower, the biggest fights right now are between Romney and Gingrich, and he has been mostly forgotten, so returning after taking car of his family could start a revival in his campaign.
What a guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Romney at his best here. He shows these Floridians how much of a regular person he is. He is trying to make it known that he is human, just like any one of the voters. He goes further than most, though, when he sings one of our countries famous patriotic songs. As you may be able to tell if you watch the video, Romney succeeded, because all of the townsfolk began to sing with him, making it seem like they were chums or something like that. But in the words of the great NWA, all you have to do is "express yourself," and Romney sure did here.

Tying Down Romney.
Scripting the debate as sharply as possible, Fox News Anchor Mr. Baier refused to hold back as he fired away at Romney. The 12 questions that were lined up were no joke. Would Romney release his tax returns was quite a genuine question, that will certainly affect people's views. A real smack in the face I felt was the statement about Romney having family in Mexico, yet him having one of strict lines on immigration reform. Romney's lead is really gotten to people and pretty soon I hope he doesn't begin to look like Herman.
Act Fast.
Romney's Rivals may continue to nibble at his business backgrounds with Bain however they're going to need to do a better job. Discussed are 4 possible upcoming issues that may affect the outcome of results. From Religious influence leaning towards helping out Santorum, a sudden dropout by yet another candidate and the next upcoming GOP debate.
Romney plays for evangelical support before South Carolina Debate
Romney decided to address a series of social issues before a largely Evangelical conservative crowd. This is a pretty big move for Romney, especially so close to the South Carolina debate. With 44% South Carolinians identifying themselves as Evangelical, this is probably going to have quite an influence on the outcome of the debate/voting turnout.
Huntsman drops out, Romney takes more shots
With Huntsman dropping out, a "reevaluation" is necessary between the rest of the candidates. As Grooms points out, "Remaining in the race at this point only serves to steer votes away from viable candidates." So, with Huntsman's dropout and backing of Romney, its pretty obvious that its going to go Romney's way. Huntsman's actions are a clear effort of the conservatives uniting to attempt to chose the candidate with the best chance of defeating Obama.

RNC Tries to Unite Candidates... Against Obama
Good article about how the intraparty negativity among the candidates may be hurting GOP hopes for beating Obama in November. Exactly to the point many of us were making about the effect that a lengthy primary may have on Mitt Romney (or any other eventual nominee).

Romney Feeling Good about today
With the election looming ever closer Romney feels very confident. The former Governor of Mass. took some shots when his talk about "firing people" was taken out of context and spun to attack him. But even with this slip of the tongue he still feels good. It will be interesting to see what comes out of today. We will have to wait and see... #votetoday
The N.H. race is really just to see who Romney's challenger is.
With the race in N.H. looking like it will easily go to Romney, I believe that the race will be very crucial for who ever comes in 2nd. The 2nd place finisher will, come the end of the primaries will be Romney's biggest challenger. So the second place finisher should feel good about himself. It will be interesting to see what happens as the race goes on with the second place finish.
Romney will win N.H. easily, but it will be interesting to see how he does when it goes down South because he is a less conservative and the South is very conservative.
What's Wrong With Mitt?!

Attack on Romney
Since Romney is now front-runner in the polls he is receiving negative comments from his competors. From Romney's remark about health insurance do you agree with Gov. Huntsman that Romney believes in putting politics first and enjoys firing people? What is your perspective on Romney?

Why vote on Tuesdays? No good reason
Jacob Soboroff, the writer of this article, brings up some very good points that exploit how stupid the reason we vote on Tuesday really is. I think if this day was changed, there would be a much greater turnout, especially in youths. Read this article and write a reaction...what do you think the ideal day to vote is?
Iowa, the Early Decider, Still Hasn’t
This article really showed that Republican voters in the primaries do not know who to vote for---no candidate has been exceptionally convincing. There still is no real favorable candidate in the Republican primaries, and it seems as if people are waiting for another candidate to come along. Do you think any candidate deserves to represent the Republican party in the 2012 Presidential Election even though there is so much opposition? Why?

Caucus Captains Told What To Say
The Republican candidates are using their supporters to deliver heartfelt and personal speeches about they are voting for. However, the only original thing about these speeches are the names that the caucus captains put for "(insert name here)." They seem harmless to me but it feels a little impersonal and dirty at the same time. Are these prewritten speeches cheating or just another part of the campaign?
Santorum Gets More Support With More Money
After being behind for awhile, Santorum found a way to boost his numbers in polls and in figures. Out of nowhere, his fundraising is almost 400% higher than it was ten days ago. With the sudden increase in funding, Santorum can now start doing more to boost his campaigning and create more ads. Will they be effective enough for him? And where did this money come from?
