Outside the Beltway

Rick Santorum has some bizarre views when it comes to the dispute between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

The Republican candidates for President have apparently forgotten that this guy was their party’s nominee twice.

After almost a year of campaigning, it’s finally time for someone to cast a vote.

Heading into the last day of campaigning, the race in Iowa is too close to call.

Romney, Paul, Santorum. The last set of Iowa frontrunners seems to be set.

Yet another clue about what’s going on in the Hawkeye State.

A new Iowa polls shows Rick Santorum gaining support. Or does it?

Right now, Iowa is all about Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and a bunch of also-rans.

Ron Paul is rising in Iowa, which means he will soon face the scrutiny he’s avoided so far.

The final candidate clash of 2011 didn’t lead to the sparring that some expected.

The former Speaker has the biggest lead of any candidate thus far in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

Newt Gingrich is leading the GOP field, but losing to President Obama, but Republican voters don’t seem to care.

Did you know there was another GOP debate last night? Well, you didn’t miss much.

Congressmen apparently regularly make investment moves based on the information they learn. Of course, for them it isn’t illegal.

Or, perhaps, the Perry Princple?

The real problems at Penn State aren’t just going away now that Joe Paterno is gone.

The firing of legendary Penn State football coach Joe Paterno led to a full-blown riot by outraged students.

Like some other Republicans, Rick Santorum has an odd view of the judiciary.

The Electoral College doesn’t matter in the way pundits think it does.

Despite the seeming odds against him, the Electoral College map is very favorable for President Obama.

If true, Joe Paterno’s actions in response to charges of child abuse by a coach are indefensible.

Jerry Sandusky, the longtime defensive coordinator for the Penn State football team, is being charged with eight counts of child sex abuse.

So far, Hermain Cain seems to be doing okay in the polls.

By popular demand: An assessment of the latest polling numbers.

Are America’s political parties become irrelevant?

Many of the Republican candidates for President advocate ideas that would restrict the power of the Federal Judiciary.
