Courting public sentiment at the GOP debates
As the fight for the Republican presidential nomination now moves on to the Jan. 31 Florida primary, the 2012 phenomenon of the televised debate has elevated to a political art form playing to voters' prejudices and hates.
Nothing has been more...Tags: Joe Biden, Mitt Romney, Republican Party, Barack Obama, Elections

Ron Paul is sweeping the GOP youth vote
Across the country, the youth vote is down. Registration is low. Voter enthusiasm for Republican candidates has been lackluster. Unless that candidate's name is Ron Paul. The 76-year-old U.S. representative from Texas has energized — and gained &#...Tags: Immigration, Voting, Mitt Romney, Republican Party, Ron Paul

Food stamps are good for us
The nation's food stamp program is an essential part of the American safety net. Why? Because people can't be productive — in school, at work or looking for work — if they are hungry and fearful about not having enough food to feed their...Tags: Los Angeles Times, Groceries, Republican Party, Pension and Welfare, Interior Policy

Who's happier with Tuesday's results, Santorum or Obama?
I am certain that the staff in Obama headquarters in Chicago were euphoric after Rick Santorum's primary and caucus victories Tuesday in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri. They may hardly have to use their expected $1 billion campaign war chest as the...Tags: Barack Obama, Elections, Republican Party, Mitt Romney, Timonium

Is the GOP handing the election to Obama?
The last time a Republican candidate for president defeated an incumbent Democrat running for reelection, the primary returns were a lopsided affair. Ronald Reagan won convincingly in New Hampshire and South Carolina (after George H.W. Bush took Iowa) and...Tags: George W. Bush, Government, Tampa, Republican National Conventions, Jimmy Carter

In Santorum, evangelicals seek another earthly savior
A group of conservative evangelical leaders met in Texas last weekend and endorsed a Roman Catholic for president. Given the history of evangelical antipathy toward the theological underpinnings of the Roman Catholic Church, that in itself signals a...Tags: New England Patriots, Bible, Football, Protestantism, Tim Tebow

Newt the demagogue
Rick Perry's withdrawal from the presidential race and his endorsement of Newt Gingrich give a boost to a campaign that has been gaining momentum in the days before the South Carolina primary. Much of the analysis of this latest turn of events focuses...Tags: White House, Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Ronald Reagan, Republican Party

Santorum's moral relativism should play well in South Carolina
Never mind Rick Santorum's flexibility on abortion, which columnist Thomas Schaller cited in questioning the GOP presidential primary contender's morality ("Rick Santorum's moral flexibility," Jan. 11). It's the candidate's profession of "pro-life"...Tags: Values, Civil Unrest, Ethics, Republican Party, Religious Conflicts

Romney's trump card: 'electability'
New Hampshire Republicans are practical people.
As I traveled around the state this past week, voters who said they supported Mitt Romney in Tuesday's presidential primary consistently offered two reasons for their choice.
One was Mr. Romney's resume:...Tags: Tea Party Movement, Government, Executive Branch, Polls, Voting

McCain's faint praise, Gingrich's long knives greet Romney in New Hampshire
The politics-by-the-numbers game we play has been quirkily friendly to Mitt Romney. He was able to waltz into New Hampshire a week before its Republican presidential primary boasting of being a winner in the Iowa caucuses.
He could do so despite the fact...Tags: Joe Biden, Vietnam War (1955-1975), Government, George W. Bush, Executive Branch

Post-Iowa, a weaker tea party movement
A year ago, the tea party movement looked like an irresistible wave sweeping through the Republican Party. Anyone who hoped to win this year's GOP presidential nomination, it seemed, would need to embrace tea party activists' stringent demands for smaller...Tags: Tea Party Movement, Media Industry, U.S. Senate, Voting, Rick Perry

Iowa caucus: Romney win changes nothing
As political theater, the Republican Party's Iowa caucuses came through: A photo finish with a mere 8 votes separating winner Mitt Romney from the runner-up, former Sen. Rick Santorum. Throw in a third-place for Rep. Ron Paul as well as a decent showing...Tags: Abortion Issue, Tea Party Movement, Government, U.S. Senate, Executive Branch
