We've spent a lot of time talking about Ron Paul's "caucus strategy" approach to the GOP nomination season, but haven't really been able to illustrate what's actually going on behind the scenes. The lackadaisical approach is to liken Paul's strategy to the advantage Barack Obama took in the...

From time to time during the campaign season, the candidates vying for the GOP nomination have been set upon by marriage equality activists at public appearances and subjected to "glitter-bombing." This tactic has been highly effective, as each of these candidates have, post-glittering, completely reversed their opposition to...

When the Washington Press Club Foundation approached the people of HuffPost Hill to provide video entertainment for its 68th Annual Congressional Dinner, the only thing we wanted to know was if we'd be sharing the bill with the Second Amendments -- Congress' own house band, featuring...

I have nits to pick with a few parts of Jim VandeHei's column "The political transformation of Barack Obama," but I'd rather talk about the way he takes on the whole super PAC issue with startling candor.

As you know, President Obama has bestowed his "reluctant...

Just how much do ordinary Americans dislike the group of legislators who are currently spending their days babbling at each other in the House of Representatives and the Senate?

So much so that they would now actually be pretty okay if all of the lawmakers were replaced by people...

None. People are still getting this wrong. Don't be one of them.

New York Observer political reporter Hunter Walker unearths a pretty hilarious relic from the past holiday season -- a wonderful little holiday card intended as a celebration of Hanukkah, sent out by Rick Santorum's South Carolina campaign team. Stars of David, candlelight, and a pair of dreidels festoon...

President Barack Obama's decision to give his "reluctant blessing" to a super PAC supporting him, Priorities USA Action, has created something of a low-grade mess for his campaign team, which has had to spend the past few days fending off charges of hypocrisy from the press. This is understandable!...

On last night's edition of his eponymous Fox News show, Sean Hannity briefly took a trip to his smile-time fantasy world when he had this conversation with Frank Luntz:

HANNITY: I know the president will say, 'Well, we got bin Laden.' Putting that aside...

LUNTZ: And the public gives...

Well, hello there! You have arrived just in time for your Sunday Morning Liveblog of the political chit-chat shows. My name is Jason. Last night, Mitt Romney prevailed in the Nevada Caucuses, like everyone expected. And everyone else decided, for some reason, to keep on campaigning. So there were no...

Congratulations, America: you survived January of 2012, along with its four super-hyped primaries and its eleventy-billion debates. Your reward? A snoozy February, with some primaries and caucuses that will not draw the same level of media attention and only one debate scheduled between now and March. That's good news for...

One of the things you learn from watching political coverage, especially during an election season, is how important it is for the Big-Time Political Media to have ample opportunity to breathlessly cover all manner of manufactured pseudo-events. If, for instance, you don't get to spend a day blathering on and...

Dave Dayen today flags an exchange between Fox News White House Correspondent Ed Henry and HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan, in which the former drives the latter to distraction in a discussion over the White House's new plan to allow certain struggling homeowners refinance their homes in order to...

According to Tuesday night's CNN exit polls, one of the few demographic segments that Gingrich won the Florida primary were voters for whom the debates were the "most important factor" in choosing a candidate. In this subset of Florida voters, Gingrich prevailed -- barely! -- pipping Romney by...

Most of the time, when Herman Cain sends someone a text in the middle of the night, the rest of the world doesn't find out about it until Gloria Allred files a discovery motion. Fortunately for everyone, Cain went on Fox And Friends this morning to let everyone know about...

One of the more effective ways Newt Gingrich has managed to galvanize voters and bring them to his side -- most notably, in South Carolina -- has been to savage the media for all of their sins. But if Newt criticizes the media and the media isn't around to write...

With the Florida primary in the books and a triumphant Mitt Romney headed out to favorable settings -- like Nevada, Arizona, and Michigan -- loaded with momentum and flush with cash, we would, in ordinary circumstances, be saying that the 2012 GOP nomination is over. Just need to have the...

Years from now, assuming that the human race survives in a way that allows us all to have the free time to reminisce about the politics of the past, and not in a way where we're all on the run from our own drone warbots turned sentient, our grandchildren are...

At the moment, the Sunshine State is where all of the action is, and going to be, for the next 48 hours or so. As former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney holds a big lead in the most recent polls, he and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich crisscross the...

Good morning and welcome once again to your Sunday morning liveblog of televised, politics-related gasbagging. My name is Jason, and congratulations -- you have almost made it through the first month of 2012. And you probably have not had to "suspend your campaign" or "dissolve your super PAC"...
