Romney's limited victories
After winning six Super Tuesday state contests -- the primaries in Ohio, Massachusetts, Vermont and Virginia, and the Idaho and Alaska caucuses -- Mitt Romney has reason to crow. Instead, he may be asking himself: If this is victory, what must defeat feel...

Iowa, 2011: Here they come a-courting
In Iowan Meredith Willson's "The Music Man," Marian, the River City librarian, spends a lot of time looking for love, while pretending not to. In the end she does, in fact, find it, with a huckster — a man who may be slightly less than sincere. We...Tags: Republican Party, Ron Paul, Herman Cain, Tim Pawlenty, Jon Huntsman, Jr.

Sun election coverage not so super
I am mystified. The Sun's front-page coverage of Super Tuesday was a masterful effort to frustrate the reader ("Voters give a mixture of wins," March 7). The importance of the primary warranted only 1/8th of a page, and the small photo was of Mitt...Tags: Republican Party, Mitt Romney

First look at HBO's 'Game Change' - A film so political in so many good ways

On illegal immigration, GOP voters smarter than candidates
"I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though some time back they may have entered illegally."
That was Ronald Reagan speaking during his 1984 reelection campaign. After that election, he stuck to his...Tags: Ronald Reagan, Barack Obama, Fox News Channel (tv network), U.S. Elections, Government

Mitt the inevitable
One can hardly blame Mitt Romney and his supporters for suggesting that it's time for his GOP opponents to step aside. Although his victories on Super Tuesday were not as decisive as he might have liked, with about half the delegates committed so far...Tags: White House, Ron Paul, Ronald Reagan, Republican Party, Barack Obama

The GOP's politics of pessimism
In a Chrysler advertisement aired during halftime of Sunday's Super Bowl, actor and director Clint Eastwood says, "I've seen a lot of tough eras, a lot of tough downturns in my life, times when we didn't understand each other.

Voting for the Republican, by default
I sympathize with the letter Dovey Kahn wrote in today's Baltimore Sun ("Obama by default," Sept. 6). Just as some will hold their nose and vote for President Obama in 2012, I held my nose and voted for John McCain in 2008, and I'll likely be holding my...Tags: Ron Paul, Barack Obama, Government, Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann
