All Elections

Rebuttal of President Obama's State of the Union address isn't a job just for Republicans anymore, apparently. Herman Cain will speak for Tea Party Express. 'People's mike' will speak for the Occupy movement.

The State of the Union will be an opportunity for President Obama to press his plan to tax the rich more, which could become a major issue in the 2012 campaign. 

The wealthy GOP presidential candidate paid about 14 percent of his income in taxes in 2010, the Romney tax return shows. That's a lower rate than most middle-class Americans pay. Under Romney's tax reform plan, his tax bite would not change.

Mitt Romney is rich. Can American voters get beyond that fact? The Romney campaign is not doing the candidate any favors by trying to portray him as an ordinary American, says DCDecoder.

Mitt Romney landed plenty of blows to Newt Gingrich's record during Monday's GOP debate in Tampa, Fla. Gingrich has described his role at Freddie Mac as 'strategic adviser;' Romney calls it 'influence-peddling.' 

The former Massachusetts governor accused Gingrich of being an "influence peddler," while the ex-Speaker in turn called Romney a liar.

Mitt Romney is releasing his 2010 tax returns and estimated 2011 taxes on Tuesday, providing information on his income, deductions, and how the wealthiest Americans navigate the system.

The debate Monday night in Florida – the 18th of this cycle – is arguably the most important yet. Newt Gingrich faces fresh scrutiny of his record, and Mitt Romney’s campaign is in crisis.

The Florida primary may come down to this: Will Mitt Romney or Newt Gingrich be stronger against Barack Obama? Why Republican voters are tilting toward Gingrich.

Glenn Beck sarcastically endorsed Newt Gingrich on his show this morning. The Bachmann-turned-Santorum supporter is hoping the non-endorsement for Gingrich will produce Santorum votes.

Restore Our Future, a super PAC backing Mitt Romney, has already spent $5 million on ads in Florida. Can Newt Gingrich raise enough money to compete with Romney in Florida?

Ron Paul has yet to win a Republican primary or caucus. But his aim is to steadily gain delegates, building a movement and perhaps getting recognition at his party's nominating convention.

Under pressure over his wealth at a time when many Americans are struggling, and coming off a drubbing in the South Carolina primary, Mitt Romney says he’ll release his tax returns this week.

Newt Gingrich defied conventional political wisdom in coming back to win solidly in South Carolina. Can he do the same in Florida, and what must Mitt Romney do to recover from Saturday's drubbing?

Mitt Romney, recently seen as the GOP establishment candidate with an aura of “electability” about him, had to settle for second place. Now it's on to Florida and two important debates.

One major issue that might have slowed Newt Gingrich’s momentum in South Carolina – his history of marital infidelities, most recently highlighted in interviews with his second wife – appears not to be doing so.

Polls show the South Carolina primary Saturday is now Newt Gingrich's to lose after Mitt Romney stumbled this week. But Romney still is favored to win Florida's primary and the nomination.

The Cayman Islands used to be known as a 'tax haven.'  That's not necessarily true anymore, but there could be other reasons for Mitt Romney use the Caymans to store his millions.

Newt Gingrich fired back against explosive allegations from his ex-wife by wrapping himself in family at an event South Carolina, a state where family values loom large. 

The tea party has been at the forefront of the anyone-but-Mitt Romney campaign but has not yet curbed his momentum. If the movement fails to propel tea-party favorite Newt Gingrich to victory in South Carolina, its clout could come into question.
