Veepstakes: Will Romney pick Wisconsin’s Paul Ryan?
There will be talk of who comes from a swing state, who has the right kind experience and who has the right ideological credentials -- but an important and overlooked factor may be the personal connection of the kind that was on display with Ryan.. . -
This Election Will Be All About Women
A new USA Today/Gallup poll shows President Obama's lead over Mitt Romney widening among women. The poll, a sampling of registered voters in 12 swing states, finds that while Romney has a slight lead among men, 48 percent to 47 percent, he lags by a whopping 18 points, 54 percent to 36 percent, in the women's vote. That means Obama's nine-point lead over Romney in the poll can be entirely attributed to the women's vote.More » -
SANTORUM: OBAMA PREFERABLE TO ROMNEY
Rick Santorum's latest attempt to use a Mitt Romney aide's "Etch-A-Sketch" remark against the Republican front-runner instead gave his rival a chance to fire back on Thursday, after Santorum seemed to say he'd rather see President Obama reelected than send Romney to the White House. Speaking at an event in Texas, Santorum again made the case that Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom's comments Wednesday on CNN about a "reset" of the campaign if Romney clinched the nomination showed the former Massachusetts governor's efforts to appeal to conservatives were insincere.. . -

Mitt Romney’s Dilemma: Picking a Running Mate if He’s the GOP Nominee
The veepstakes is one of the great political parlor games, an exercise both fascinating and overrated. A bad pick can hurt a campaign, as John McCain learned last time, but only in the rarest of instances does a No. 2 help a presidential candidate win the White House. (Could Hillary Clinton be an exception? Former New York Times editor Bill Keller is sure promoting the idea. But that remains a fantasy, given the remote likelihood that Barack Obama would dump Joe Biden.)More » -
Romney win provokes panic
Mitt Romney improved his own 2008 New Hampshire primary showing by about 20,000 votes and is the first Republican non-incumbent ever to win both the Iowa caucuses and in New Hampshire. But even though Romney exceeded 2008 Republican nominee John McCain's New Hampshire share by at least 3 points and improved on McCain's margin of victory by 12 points, Romney isn't getting credit for a great win. Democrats, liberal commentators as well as Romney's conservative detractors point to lower turnout this year than in the open contests in 2000 and 2008 as evidence that Romney is sapping the party's enthusiasm.. .
