This impending PR campaign is irresponsible when there is a Supreme Court decision expected in the not-too-distant future that may affect the very existence of the Affordable Health Care Act.

WASHINGTON — Mitt Romney's vice presidential search has entered a new phase: auditions. As his campaign evaluates potential running mates, Repu...

The elections of today are all about appearance and public perception; looking "presidential," it seems, is now more important than a candidate's ability to act as such. A vice presidential candidate is not immune from these superficial requirements.

This coming Tuesday, in Indiana, voters will go the polls in the GOP Senate primary to decide if they are going to stick with six-term Sen. Dick Lugar...

WASHINGTON -- Mitt Romney's privileged background and personal wealth will not prevent Americans from voting for him in November's presidential electi...

The 2012 Republican "Veep-Stakes" are barely underway, and already two schools of thought are emerging on the wisdom of nominating Florida Sen. Marco Rubio as Mitt Romney's running mate.

WASHINGTON -- If Haley Barbour advised Mitt Romney about whom to pick for his running mate, the former Mississippi governor might repeat something he ...

Now that Mitt Romney has all but sewn up the GOP nomination, the political press can turn its attention to Romney's policy positions choice for the person who will be "one heartbeat away from the presidency" and cutting ribbons at the dedication of historic monuments and shopping malls. It's "Veepstakes" time -- that time in the campaign where journalists fill the hole left in their hearts by the conclusion of the competitive primary season with a metric ton of panicky speculation about who might be the nominee's running mate. At any rate, the one thing that everyone agrees on is that if history is any guide, Mitt Romney's vice-presidential pick will not be Tim Pawlenty. (Or will he?) (No.)

WASHINGTON -- As the parties battle over taxes, the deficit and economic inequality, two arguments that have been marshaled to advocate for the Democr...

With a tough image, Hispanic background and Palin endorsement, this Republican gem will help make the party shine after the primary dust settles. Named "Woman of the Year" and "Prosecutor of the Year," she portrays the image of a tough and competent yet cheerful leader.

It is another GOP ruse to firmly establish in America an economy designed for, dedicated to and directed by corporations rather than a just economy controlled by and beneficial to the 99 percent.

WASHINGTON -- The six Democratic members of a 12-member super committee with extraordinary powers to shape spending over the next decade held another ...

WASHINGTON -- The super committee created by the debt limit deal to plot $1.5 trillion in deficit cuts is set to begin hearings in the next two weeks....

There's a reason why the Super Committee was designed to bypass normal democratic processes. The public hates what it's trying to do. And so do policy experts who understand how destructive their cuts would be to an already-wounded economy.

WASHINGTON -- With congressional leaders having finalized their selection of the 12-member, bicameral panel designed to pinpoint $1.5 trillion in defi...

WASHINGTON -- Republican leaders of the House and Senate announced their picks Wednesday for the "super Congress" deficit committee slated with findin...
