Campaign Manager Beth Myers On The West Virginia Convention  —  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  —  Boston, MA - Today, Romney for President Campaign Manager Beth Myers issued the following statement regarding the outcome of West Virginia's Republican Party convention:

Limbaugh Defends Clinton and Obama on Iraq  —  Talk show host Rush Limbaugh is so exasperated about Senator McCain's surge in the Republican presidential contest that he is coming to the defense of Senators Clinton and Obama.  —  On Mr. Limbaugh's program today, he said people should not be rushing …

Penn: More debates!  (One on Fox!)  —  In a conference call with reporters, Clinton strategist Mark Penn announced that Clinton would like to face off against Obama in one debate every week between now and March 4.  —  “The campaign believes that it's critically important that we continue the debate …

Intelligence Chief Cites Qaeda Threat to U.S.  —  WASHINGTON — The top American intelligence official said on Tuesday that Al Qaeda is improving its ability to attack within the United States by recruiting and training new operatives.  At the same time, he said, the group's affiliate in Iraq …

Early Exit Polls in Massachusetts: Dems Close, Romney Up Big  —  My first word of exit poll results says that the first two waves of results in Massachusetts show a “dead heat” between Hillary and Obama, and a 20-point margin for Romney among Republicans.

Fourth undersea cable cut near UAE, suspicions rise  —  For the fourth time in a week, an undersea communications cable has apparently been cut (or “failed due to a power outage,” as some sources suggest), and while no official reports of subversion have surfaced just yet, things are beginning to get suspicious.

The Die Has Been Cast  —  Like many I prefer McCain but will gladly support Romney if he wins the nomination.  His campaign ad here in California against Hillary's inexperience was excellent, and so was McCain's on his new views on illegal immigration.  —  But so far today I have gotten …

The Cooper Concerns  —  I'm not a Hillary-hater.  She's been an outstanding senator.  She hung tough on Iraq through the dark days of 2005.  In this campaign, she has soldiered on bravely even though she has most of the elected Democrats, news media and the educated class rooting against her.
