The presidential campaign of the libertarian Republican Ron Paul has reached agreement with party leaders on delegate disputes, clearing the way for a harmonious convention to nominate Mitt Romney next week in Tampa, Fla. Mr. Paul’s campaign manager, Jesse Benton, said the agreement would seat 17 additional Paul delegates from Louisiana, as well as three additional delegates and two alternates from Massachusetts. Negotiations continued over delegates from Maine. But Mr. Benton said the party’s Committee on Contests would recommend splitting the delegation from Maine between representatives of Mr. Paul and Mr. Romney. A Republican National Committee official confirmed the deal, ...

Divided as to whether they would be better off in four years under Obama or Romney PRINCETON, NJ -- A majority of voters in key 2012 election swing states say they are not better off than they were four years ago; 40% say they are better off. Swing-state voters' assessments of their situation compared with 2008 have varied little since last fall. The results are based on the latest USA Today/Gallup Swing States poll, conducted Aug. 6-13 with a sample of 970 registered voters in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin. The results are similar for all U.S. registered voters, among whom 42% say they ...
Libertarians try to block Romney from Wash. ballot (Less that 5% support)

The Libertarian Party has filed a lawsuit to block Mitt Romney from the November ballot in Washington state, arguing that Republicans are no longer a major political party, officials said Thursday.The filing in Thurston County contends that the GOP does not get an automatic slot on the ballot because state law defines major parties as those that receive 5 percent of the vote in a statewide race during a November general election in even years. Republican Dino Rossi did get 48 percent of the vote in the U.S. Senate race two years ago but wasn't officially nominated by the party at its convention, and Washington's top-two primary system is not considered a nominating process.State ...
Rep. Stearns concedes GOP primary

Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) has conceded the Republican nomination for Florida's 3th district to local veterinarian Ted Yoho, he said in a statement on Wednesday. Yoho looked poised for an insurgent win in the surprise of Tuesday night's primaries, but Stearns refused to concede the race, as initial vote tallies put him just over 1 percentage point behind Yoho. That changed Wednesday, however. "Based upon the results from last night, it would appear that there are not enough provisional ballots to make up the difference for me to win this primary election. Therefore, I am conceding the election to Ted Yoho," Stearns, a 12-term lawmaker, said in a statement. The race is ...
Operation Counterweight - The final list (Action Alert)

Operation Counterweight, the electoral strategy for the rest of us, is intended to help provide a counterweight to conservatives being sold out in two ways. First, we must elect more conservative Republicans. Second, we must hold the House majority and take back the Senate by a sufficient majority that we are not beholden to the weakest Republican links as in the past. There are so many important races that it would be impossible to list all of them, and doing so would be counterproductive in a swarm environment. With the exception of the Scott Brown and Allen West races, I have tried to select races which may not get national attention and fundraising, which again makes our efforts more ...

Over the weekend, Mitt Romney announced that he selected Paul Ryan as his Vice Presidential running mate. Just about every commentator on the left and right, has hailed this as a bold move. The left believes Romney made a tragic mistake selecting someone so "radical". The right believes that Romney made the right decision selecting someone so dedicated to "fiscal responsibility". Both sides are wrong. Ryan's so-called visionary / radical budget plan won't balance the budget until 2040. We had a balanced budget in 2000, yet the left thinks it's "radical" and the right thinks it's "bold" to wait 28 years to get America's fiscal ...

Laura Ingraham: 'Romney's Losing'

A tough, tough riff on the Romney campaign from Laura Ingraham on her show today: I might be the skunk at the picnic but I’m going to say it. I’m going to say it clear. Romney’s losing. I don’t like to start a Friday show with this, but I feel like I must. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I know one thing: conservatism wins. When you are debating the other side on substance, when you are attacking with substance, when you are laying out a vision with passion, that marries conservative ideals to the problems of the day, you will win. [At this point, Ingraham played a recording of Romney saying: “I disagree.”] When you see this happening in ...
A Bumpy Overseas Trip And A Month Of Pummeling By Democratic Ads Takes Toll; Three Polls Show Obama Widening Lead Over Romney

A bumpy overseas trip and a month of pummeling by Democratic ads depicting Mitt Romney as an out-of-touch plutocrat and possible tax evader appear to have taken a toll. Three polls released in the last 24 hours show Present Obama widening his lead over the former Massachusetts governor to as much as nine points. The surveys of registered voters, all conducted sometime between Aug. 2 and 8, also have Romney’s unfavorable ratings headed north. Two of the polls show his support among independents slipping. A Fox News poll found the largest deficit, with Romney trailing by nine points (49 percent to 40 percent) That’s the widest gap Fox has reported all year. Its July survey had ...
RNC Chairman: People Asking For Romney’S Tax Returns Are As Bad As Birthers

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus on Friday refused to explain why presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would not release his tax returns, calling the request a “distraction” that was bad as so-called “birthers” who believe that President Barack Obama is not a U.S. citizen. During an interview on CNN, host Brooke Baldwin pointed out that a recent CNN poll found that 63 percent of voters wanted Romney to diclose more than the two years of tax returns he had already released. “Come on, Reince,” Baldwin pleaded with Priebus. “It’s a perfectly valid question. If American say — if they say they want to see tax ...

The Romney campaign got Rush Limbaugh’s and RedState’s attention today. It appeared that camp Romney was touting the Massachusetts health care law — an issue they’d spent months trying to explain away during the contentious Republican primary race. Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul, responding to a new pro-Obama super-PAC ad in which a former employee of a closed steel plant blames Bain Capital for his loss of health insurance and wife’s eventual death, praised the health care mandate Romney passed as governor of Massachusetts. “If people had been in Massachusetts, under Gov. Romney’s health care plan, they would have had health care,” Saul said on ...

A new poll finds Mitt Romney’s personal popularity slipping, a sign the presumptive GOP nominee could be failing to connect with voters with only three months until Election Day. A new Washington Post/ABC News poll shows that while 40 percent of voters say they hold favorable views on Romney, a number unchanged since May, those with negative views grew from 45 percent to 49. President Obama is still seen positively, with his favorable-unfavorable rating at 53 percent to 43 among all respondents. But his numbers slip to 49 positive and 47 negative among registered voters. Romney is under water among registered voters, 42 percent favorable to 50 unfavorable. The poll notes that ...

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's (R) hot streak of backing winning candidates in contested primaries ended Tuesday, as her preferred candidate, former Missouri state Treasurer Sarah Steelman (R), lost her Senate primary. Palin, who had endorsed many long-shot candidates in 2010, only to see them lose, has been much more careful in her endorsements this cycle — and the results had paid off. Her biggest win was with Nebraska state Sen. Deb Fischer (R), who pulled off a shocking upset win for Nebraska's open Senate seat. But she'd also jumped in for a number of Tea Party candidates who already had the momentum, including Indiana state Treasurer Richard Mourdock (R) and ...

(Reuters) - Americans are increasingly pessimistic about the future but voters do not seem to be holding it against Democratic President Barack Obama, who slightly expanded his lead over Republican rival Mitt Romney this month, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll says. Three months before the November 6 presidential election, nearly two-thirds of Americans think the country is moving in the wrong direction. Only 31 percent say it is moving in the right direction - the lowest number since December 2011. But Obama's lead over Romney among registered voters was 49 percent to 42 percent, up slightly from the 6-point advantage the president held a month earlier over the former Massachusetts governor. ...

A new ad from a super PAC supporting President Obama ties former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney to a family’s loss of health insurance and a woman’s subsequent death from cancer. It’s the fourth hard-hitting ad from Priorities USA Action that focuses on former workers at companies closed by Romney’s former private equity firm, Bain Capital. “I don’t think Mitt Romney understands what he’s done to people’s lives by closing the plant,” said Joe Soptic, a former employee at GST Steel in Kansas City, in the ad. He says he lost his health care, and then his wife became ill. “I don’t know how long she was sick, and I think maybe she ...

"We've got the best workers in the world, we've got the best entrepreneurs in the world." He said what's standing in our way right now "is our politics." He blamed "the uncompromising view that says we should be going back to the old top-down economics that got us into this mess in the first ...

Conservative mega-donor Sheldon Adelson recently pressed presumptive Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney to call for the release of Israeli spy Jonathan Pollard, unnamed sources close to the two men reportedly told Daily Beast reporters Eli Lake and Dan Ephron.

There’s a secret lurking behind everything you’re reading about the upcoming election, a secret that all political insiders know—or should—but few are talking about, most likely because it takes the drama out of the whole business. The secret is the electoral college, and the fact is that the more you look at it, the more you come to conclude that Mitt Romney has to draw an inside straight like you’ve never ever seen in a movie to win this thing. This is especially true now that it seems as if Pennsylvania isn’t really up for grabs. Romney’s paths to 270 are few. First, let’s discuss Pennsylvania.

The 30 second TV and web ad features women discussing their concern that Romney, a devout Moron who has firmly stated his opposition to abortion rights, is “out of touch” and just doesn’t connect with or understand issues affecting women and their medical and reproductive choices. “This is not the 1950s,” said one woman, “Contraception is so important to a woman.
