Here are the moms you're going to see on the campaign trail this year in various roles -- they're ones we should all be watching!
Mitt Romney's wife Ann may not be the only "secret weapon" the GOP's presumptive nominee is planning to deploy this fall to try to surmount his embarrassing double-digit gender gap with President Obama among women voters.
None of us can fully escape our fear of judgment, or our inclinations to judge others. But we could be more generous with ourselves and each other and do it less often.
The case of Governor Haley is just the most recent example of how, if the media spend more time dealing out rumors than exposing them, we risk deceiving ourselves once more on a mass scale.
Women are the majority of the electorate, and, in large part, our votes will decide the outcome of the 2012 presidential race. Judging by the president's speech, it's clear that he gets this. Judging by recent comments from supporters of Gov. Mitt Romney, it's equally clear that they don't.
When Nikki Haley and other Republican leaders opine about the lack of voter interest in contraception, it's more wishful thinking than political insight.
Haley has been seen as a new Republican star for many years and many political observers believed she would be right at the top of the VP short-list in 2012. But that's never going to happen. Why? One reason -- Sarah Palin.
Political committees controlled by Mitt Romney's campaign have made generous donations to prominent Republicans in early primary states, but records show contributions have tailed off as the GOP nominees head in to Super Tuesday.
Monday could have been an opportunity for the GOP candidates to express their support for the myriad advances of the Civil Rights movement and the problems that remain, but it turned into a mess of racially-charged attacks on African Americans, immigrants and the poor instead.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, who became governor on January 12, 2011, is a rising star in the Republican Party and a possible vice presidential candidate. This perception conflicts markedly with the opinion of Haley in South Carolina, where there's voters' remorse. According to a Winthrop University poll late last year, only about 35 percent of South Carolinians approve of the job she is doing. To give Haley the benefit of the doubt, let's examine her first year in office according to the issues she laid out for voters while campaigning for governor.
The American South can't seem to shake off the Civil War. Or Jim Crow. And yet, that region of the U.S. is undergoing some dramatic changes. How the South responds to these changes will determine how easily it will enter the modern world and usher out the racial demons of its past.
Republicans have shown they don't care if they're hypocrites. Or if they lie. Or about apologizing when they do. Instead, they double-down and tell you it wasn't meant to be a factual statement.
Wouldn't it be a hoot to see the DNC come up with a strategy to Alvin Greene the South Carolina GOP Presidential nominee?
In South Carolina, two of the state's top executives are embroiled in scandals that - anywhere else - might have the potential to remove them from off...
No person anywhere else in the cosmos of politics, culture or celebrity has caused such a stir as Sarah Palin this year. So why wasn't she even considered for TIME's annual award?
