Allen West, R-Palm Beach Gardens, says an ad that depicts him punching white women plays on racial stereotypes and would make liberals “apoplectic” if a Republican ran it against a black Democrat. While Sarah Palin and Herman Cain joined the West campaign in ratcheting up criticism of the ad on Friday, an NAACP official said he didn’t find the 30-second spot to be racially offensive. And [...] ibtimes.com Ron Paul’s 2012 campaign has won the majority of Washington’s delegates to the Republican National Convention, and a number of other states are expected to follow suit, pointing to a hectic convention in which Mitt Romney’s path to the nomination may face a major insurgent opponent.

Politicians vying for the highest office in America often try to project a down-home demeanor to endear themselves to the electorate. At the same time, nobody can mount a serious campaign for the presidency without money, and lots of it. So as nice as it is to come off like someone a voter would love to have a beer with, even the folksiest candidate will never make it to the Iowa caucus [...] http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/…8040A720120106 WASHINGTON | Thu Jan 5, 2012 8:08pm EST The Republican front-runner’s campaign responded with a defense of his plan and criticized President Barack Obama’s record on taxes, saying it has “stunted” economic growth.

Not only that, Mitt Romney has stated that he is not really concerned about what is going [...] The lead for the GOP presidential nomination has changed seven times says a new Gallup poll report which calls the Republican race the “most volatile for the GOP since the advent of polling.” The Gallup report says this is the first time since 1964 where the GOP front-runner spot has seen so many changes.

Huntsman tells CBS’s “The Early Show” the formula, so far as he is concerned, is quite elementary. Says Huntsman: “They pick corn inIowa. They pick presidents in New Hampshire.” The former Utah governor has made little effort [...] The establishment media is losing its power to sabotage the march of liberty Paul Joseph Watson Despite a barrage of smear attacks from every single corner of the mainstream media over the last two weeks, Ron Paul’s chances of winning the Iowa Republican Primary have if anything increased, with a new poll showing Paul increasing his lead over Mitt Romney while the New York Times’ primary projection shows Paul’s [...] Suffice to say, it’s been a pretty embarrassing year for politicians.
