These early contests are supposed to be about small-scale retail politics but, post-Citizens United, Romney didn't win by winning over people in diners, he won with a blizzard of negative ads funded by "outside groups." While outside money killed Newt, all the dollars spent by Romney and his allies weren't enough to buy Mitt the caucus-goers' love, as he scraped by with an eight-vote win and a lower percentage of votes than he attracted in 2008. In the aftermath, Bachmann bailed, Perry said he was heading back to Texas -- then abruptly decided to stay in the race, and Santorum became the latest darling of the Not Mitt crowd. Now the unreal reality show, minus its female lead, rolls into New Hampshire. <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/verizon-convenience-fee">Verizon Convenience Fee</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-perry-iowa-caucus">Rick Perry Iowa Caucus</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucuses">Iowa Caucuses</a>, <a href="/tag/michele-bachmann-quits">Michele Bachmann Quits</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-santorum-iowa-caucus">Rick Santorum Iowa Caucus</a>, <a href="/tag/mitt-romney-iowa-caucus">Mitt Romney Iowa Caucus</a>, <a href="/tag/newt-gingrich-iowa">Newt Gingrich Iowa</a>, <a href="/politics">Politics News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/07/jon-huntsman-voters-ready_n_1191573.html 2012-01-07T16:43:00Z 2012-01-07T16:43:59Z The Huffington Post News Team http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-news/ NORTH HAVERHILL, N.H. -- Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman told northern New Hampshire voters Saturday that a campaign button worn by one o... <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/iowa-caucus">Iowa Caucus</a>, <a href="/tag/new-hampshire-primary-2012">New Hampshire Primary 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-santorum">Rick Santorum</a>, <a href="/tag/mitt-romney">Mitt Romney</a>, <a href="/tag/elections-2012">Elections 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/republican-debate">Republican Debate</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-perry">Rick Perry</a>, <a href="/tag/jon-huntsman-2012">Jon Huntsman 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucuses-2012">Iowa Caucuses 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/republican-primary">Republican Primary</a>, <a href="/tag/new-hampshire-primary">New Hampshire Primary</a>, <a href="/tag/santorum">Santorum</a>, <a href="/tag/jon-huntsman">Jon Huntsman</a>, <a href="/tag/2012-election">2012 Election</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucus-results">Iowa Caucus Results</a>, <a href="/tag/mitt-romney-2012">Mitt Romney 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-perry-2012">Rick Perry 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucuses">Iowa Caucuses</a>, <a href="/tag/rick-santorum-2012">Rick Santorum 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucus-2012">Iowa Caucus 2012</a>, <a href="/tag/video">Video</a>, <a href="/politics">Politics News</a></p> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/06/teen-athlete-paralyzed-yo_n_1190339.html 2012-01-06T15:44:14Z 2012-01-07T12:17:28Z The Huffington Post News Team http://www.huffingtonpost.com/the-news/ Every week, HuffPost High School rounds up the best local news stories about high school students from across the country through our friends at Patch... <p>Read more: <a href="/tag/jack-jablonski-injury">Jack Jablonski Injury</a>, <a href="/tag/jack-jablonski-paralyzed">Jack Jablonski Paralyzed</a>, <a href="/tag/youth-vote">Youth Vote</a>, <a href="/tag/technology-education">Technology Education</a>, <a href="/tag/ea-hall-middle-school">Ea Hall Middle School</a>, <a href="/tag/rock-the-caucus">Rock-the-Caucus</a>, <a href="/tag/ron-paul">Ron Paul</a>, <a href="/tag/iowa-caucuses">Iowa Caucuses</a>, <a href="/tag/teen-theft">Teen Theft</a>, <a href="/tag/high-school-patches">High-School-Patches</a>, <a href="/tag/high-school-news">High School News</a>, <a href="/tag/jack-jablonski">Jack Jablonski</a>, <a href="/tag/teen-drinking">Teen Drinking</a>, <a href="/high-school">High School News</a></p>
