Rick Santorum plans to endorse Mitt Romney in the general election against President Barack Obama, that much is clear. The question is, how strongly will he support his former rival after months of brutal back-and-forth attacks during the Republican primary season? The answer could become more clear on Friday, when Santorum and Romney plan to [...]

A super PAC supporting Rick Santorum announced Thursday that it bought $310,000 in ads in Illinois in advance of that state's primary next week. The target: Mitt Romney. Santorum racked up a pair of wins earlier this week in Mississippi and Alabama, but trails far behind Romney in the delegate count.

As Crowley points out, Mitt Romney was pretty well-poised to seize on Obama's open mic moment, in which he told Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he'd have "more flexibility" on missile defense after his re-election. Romney dug in on the issue Monday, hammering the White House on the stump and calling Russia "without question our number one geopolitical foe" on CNN.

The letters recently sent out by the Santorum campaign that ripped into Mitt Romney were ordered before the he suspended his bid for the Republican presidential nomination, his campaign manager said.

Primary elections in Mississippi and Alabama Tuesday are giving Mitt Romney an opportunity to extend his lead in the Republican presidential race by winning in Southern contests that he has characterized as "a bit of an away game." Voting was under way Tuesday in the two states, with polls set to close at 8 p.m.

PHOENIX, February 3, 2012- Mitt Romney's win in Florida didn't happen because the voters felt at heart with Romney's message and past, but rather the negative onslaught of campaign ads run by the Romney campaign and its allies against Newt Gingrich.

Almost exactly four years ago, Barack Obama made one of the worse gaffes of his political career. He told highfalutin donors at a San Francisco fundraiser that "bitter" voters in rural Pennsylvania "cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren't like them... as a way to explain thei...

not directly political or media.. but its a gd read.. ron paul and mitt romney are in the list

For those who don't really know about Mormonism, here is a great video about it. I hope you all know that Romney is a Mormon, and it is believed that "his Mormonism could be 'the x-factor' that costs him the election in a tight race against Barack Obama for the White House in November." If you don't feel like watching a 25 minute video, the article under is more or less the same thing, but less entertaining.

Yana Paskova for The New York Times LEOMINSTER, Mass. - These are the voters who know best - the ones who chose him as their governor a decade ago, embracing his promise to shake things up as a newcomer to elected office and positioning him for a future on the national stage.

Rural Ohio Voters Grudgingly Accept Romney But voters in this city, which sits in John Boehner's congressional district, seemed divided at the polls, between those who had decided, grudgingly, to accept Mitt Romney, and those who just couldn't do it.

Take that, Mitt Romney. Also, check out www.barackobama.com/truthteam. even our dear obama is subject to framing, please check out the blog! it's just a tad ridiculous.

Watch campaign ads in the 2012 presidential campaign and track campaign ad spending by candidates and interest groups. Super interesting site, I didn't know Romney was spending THAT much on ads (more than all the other candidates combined), it's crazy! Plus, if anyone still couldn't find ads for the position papers, there are plenty here, enjoy!

I looked into Romney's ads, and when you see his campaign strategy, it's not too surprising. He has made ads targeted at individual states (new hampshire, missouri) and is attacking candidates left and right (mainly Santorum and Obama). These are distinct from the general platform ads he has running on TV.

US politics starting to resemble Lebanese politics...

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is expected to suspend his campaign next week, US media reports. The former House Speaker said on Wednesday that he expected Mitt Romney, who won five primaries on Tuesday, to be the Republican nominee.
