Gingrich Tells Romney He Will Quit Race
Newt is finally throwing in the towel. Newt contacted Romney early on Wednesday and told him that he would try his best to get conservatives to vote for him. Newt said earlier on Wednesday, "“I think obviously that I would be a better candidate, but the objective fact is the voters didn’t think that. And I also think it’s very, very important that we be unified". Do you think that after a candidate loses, he is really unifying the political party, or is he just supporting his previous opponent to possibly get a job in the White House?
Romney's insult to women on equal pay
Romney's insult to women on equal pay is an alarming article because this conflict could possibly lose Romney a lot of votes. When asked if women should be paid as equal as men, Romney and his team of advisers drew a blank and asked if they could "get back to them". What do you all think about this article? I personally think that it was more disrespectful to women to not have an answer than to oppose the bill.

Out Of Context
A video compilation of Mitt Romney's greatest moments. I understand that it's unfair to judge him by a collage of painful moments made by the Huffington Post but I couldn't help myself. I can let go a few mistakes but that many stupid comments is outrageous for a presidential candidate.
Romney Ties Obama In Polls
Romney and Obama both know that the economy is the biggest issue in this year's campaigns. Both have angles that will push them forward in the race. Romney is targeting "pocketbook issues" and Obama is slowly lowering the unemployment rates. Is the economy going to be the most important factor when it comes time to vote in the next election? Who has the better plan?

Hispanic Voters is a must for anyone who wants to win
For any nominee to win, they have to win over many different minority groups. One of those key minority groups is Hispanics. This article describes the struggle to win over these voters before the election rolls around. Personally, I think it would be a smart move for Romney to get Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) to be his running mate, 1. Because he is a popular senator who hasnt been in the Senate very long, 2. Because republicans and democrats alike respect him, 3. He will win the Hispanic vote for Romney. But that's just me.
Stiff Mitt
Now that the GOP nominee has been all but officially chosen, this article basically goes over why some people didnt like him in the first place: he's too stiff. He can't really get connected to voters, because of his different lifestyle. However, the people who know him closely say that he is simply trying to hard, and that if he left people know the real him, he would succeed.

Once Every 36 Years, Primary Fight for Indiana Senator
This Senator is truly feeling the backlash from the partisan lines that are currently crippling our legislative branch. Due to the increased presence of the Tea Party, Republicans are being challenged. This incumbent has been a senator for about as long as our parents have been alive, but he is still being challenged because he has made compromises before with the evil liberals... cool.
New Evidence Cited in Secret Service Prostitution Inquiry
11 Secret Service members were charged with misconduct involving prostitutes. This is worrying for our nation's safety, for the Secret Service's dedication the President is what keepshimalive. This lack of discipline by military members is unacceptable, I just hope it isn't as widespread as it appears.

mo money mo problems
So President Obama raised $1.75 million in one state. With Romney already being rich as anything, money is not going to be an issue for either of these candidates in the general election. I hope everyone's ready for an absurd amount of campaign ads this fall.
Romney vs. Obama
It would appear that the stage is set for the general election this fall. Mitt Romney's path to face Obama is now clear after Rick Santorum announced his campaign's suspension. I can't say that I'm surprised though, Romney was always the favorite, and this general election is going to be very interesting. What are your thoughts?

Buffet Rule
Obama makes a big push for increasing taxes on the wealthy, and proposed the Buffet Rule. The general principle behind the Buffet Rule is that millionaires and billionaires shouldn't pay a lower percentage of their income in federal taxes than middle-class households. I think this is awesome - it will definitely make the middle class happier if this rule becomes legitimate. It may upset some of the wealthy, but who cares! The majority of the population is middle class anyways.
Well, it's about time Santorum.
Here's a nice little video of a montage of Santorum's best moments throughout his campaign. One of his best moments was when he said that he didn't want to make "black people's lives better" by giving them "somebody else's money." Nice one Santorum.
