EXCERPT of text:
But the lessons for Joe Biden - as he thinks about his upcoming debate with Paul Ryan - derive less from watching Obama than from watching Romney. Romney had one of the best performances I can remember watching in a presidential debate ever - it was punchy, intelligent, empathetic. There is no question there were substantive problems, most notably the fact that Romney's tax plan simply doesn't add up - he cannot do a 20 percent tax rate cut while also retaining all the big deductions for most people without massively adding to the deficit. He certainly can't do it while also promising to maintain Medicare and Social Security as is for current retirees. But Romney was good en...

From ABC News: Romney Rolls = Projected to Win in Wis., Md., DC

Romney Rolls: Projected to Win in Wis., Md., DC
Mitt Romney swept the three Republican primaries tonight, beating his main challenger, Rick Santorum, in what has become mostly a formality as the perennial frontrunner jogs toward the party's presidential nomination.
ABC News projected that Romney would defeat second-place Santorum in Maryland, in Wisconsin, and in Washington, D.C., where Santorum was not on the ballot.
Looking more inevitable than ever, Romney strode through the latest primary contests with a parade of establishment and revered GOP figures hoisting him up. His latest endorsements came from former President George H.W. Bush, budget idol Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin and tea party scion Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida.
"Republicans are unifying," Ryan told Ro...

Prominent GOPers may be getting nervous about Romney's chances

With recent polls showing Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney either trailing or at best tied with Rick Santorum in the Michigan primary, some Republican leaders are starting to get nervous.
One "prominent Republican senator" told ABC News senior political correspondent Jonathan Karl on Friday that "if Romney cannot win Michigan, we need a new candidate," because with such a weak nominee "we'd get killed" in the general election.
He insisted that he expects Romney to eventually prevail in Michigan, but stated that "if he can't even win in Michigan, where his family is from, where he grew up ... he'd be too damaged" to run a successful presidential campaign.
The unidentified source also expressed the opinion that neither R...

Gingrich turns the heat up even more: Blast GOP 'establishment'

Columbus, Ohio -- Newt Gingrich took a page out of the history books Monday to advocate for his vision of building a colony on the moon, saying America isn't a country that is "stingy and afraid" but one that has reinvented itself over and over to create a better future.
The candidate blasted his rivals Rick Santorum and and Mitt Romney for assuming his call for a moon colony would involve more federal funding, saying that their reactions were proof that the Republican establishment is just a "cheap version of the Democratic establishment."
Tuesday marked the first day of multiple presidential nominating contests, with non-binding elections being held in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. Santorum and Romney are positioned to do well in those states and Gingrich...

White House Faces Political Dilemma on Health Law Challenge
By Info in News, Posted in Presidential Race 2012
August 19, 2011, 7:43 pm CDT
The Obama administration now faces a key legal and political dilemma -- what to do about the recent decision from a federal appeals court that said the new law's mandate that every uninsured American must buy health insurance is unconstitutional.
Many political analysts think the White House will try to delay Supreme Court consideration as long as possible.
"They definitely don't want to see it go to the Supreme Court until after the elections," said Kirsten Powers, a former Democratic operative and a Fox News analyst. "So my expectation is they would do whatever they can to slow walk this so that this does not get to the Supreme Court where possibly the individual mandate could be struck down which would be very damaging for the administration."

Nation World Science/Tech Biz/Money Political Satire/Parody Culture Say What? Activism Chris Matthews on Perry: 'He looks like a clown'

One clear prediction most could make already on Rick Perry's Presidential bid: Chris Matthews won't be apart of any of the Texas governor's campaign rallies.
A day before Perry officially announced his bid for the Republican nomination of President, the MSNBC host slammed Perry on his Hardball show, challenging the integrity of the Texas governor.
"He looks like a clown," Matthews said. "He dresses very fancy, there's something about the way that he puts himself together that doesn't look authentic."
He added: "There's something about him that doesn't add up to me. Maybe it's this Texas B.S., this boots and tuxedo thing they do down there. Why does it work? Outside of Texas it doesn't travel very well."
