In recent months, a number of Republicans across the nation have shown support for criminal justice reform as a result of the millions of dollars…

Will Pres. Barack Obama Call On Congress To Act On Criminal Justice Reform?
Rick Santorum posted another convincing win in yesterday’s Louisiana’s GOP primary, but still faces doubts over whether he can broaden his appeal to win the race. The Republican presidential candidate said the race was far from over, recalling the naysayers who said Ronald Reagan was too conservative to win the nomination. But the road ahead is difficult for Santorum, who’s slogging it out a game of numbers to clinch the 1,144 delegates needed to clinch the party’s nomination. Santorum will win at least eight of the 20 delegates up for grabs, according to CNN. Going into Louisiana, Mitt Romney had 563 delegates to Santorum’s 251. At this point, it is very unlikely that Santorum, Newt Gingrich or Ron Paul can overtake Romney, with their only chance being to keep him from hitting 1,144. If that were to occur, the nominee could be decided at an open convention when party officials convene this summer, but it remains a long shot at best now. The candidates get a few days of breathing space before the next round of primaries on April 3 when Wisconsin, Maryland and the District of Columbia vote. Louisiana Republican primary results: Rick Santorum 91,305 (49%) Mitt Romney 49,749 (27%) Newt Gingrich 29,655 (16%) Ron Paul 11,460 (6%)

Kim Kardashian kalled in to Ryan Seacrest’s KISS-FM radio show today and addressed two rumors and one feud. Is she adopting a baby ? “No, I don’t even know where that came from, but what’s so crazy is the magazines can easily call and ask and we would say ‘yes’ or ‘no.’ But that’s not true.” Is she engaged to Kanye West? “I think I’m still married… I’m really not dating right now at all. I’m focusing on work. I know I always say this, but I’m just trying to get through my situation and have fun.” What about that feud with Jon Hamm ? “I just feel like, to be honest, it’s all about trying to stay focused and keep everything positive. It really takes a lot more energy and effort to be harsh than to say something nice and be positive.” Overall: “I’ve heard so many ridiculous things and to be honest,” Kin said. “I used to read all the magazines and watch things. I don’t even look at any of that anymore. I’ve taken my Google alerts off my phone!” Wow, there it is, folks: the first honest thing Kim Kardashian has ever said: she used to have a Google alert for herself.

Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich called on President Obama to apologize for comments made by actor Robert De Niro at a fundraiser Monday. “What De Niro said last night was inexcusable and the president should apologize for him. It was at an Obama fundraiser, it is exactly wrong,” Gingrich said. What did the actor say to draw such a harsh rebuke? De Niro told a New York City crowd of about 90 people, including his wife and First Lady Michelle Obama, that it was “too soon” for a “white first lady.” “Callista Gingrich. Karen Santorum. Ann Romney. Now do you really think our country is ready for a white First Lady?” the 68-year-old asked, jokingly. The crowd roared. Someone yelled “No!” De Niro asked, “Too soon, right?” Gingrich said the comments made by De Niro “divide the country.” “If people on the left want to talk about radio show hosts, then everybody in the country ought to hold the president accountable when somebody at his event says something as utterly, totally unacceptable as Robert De Niro said last night,” he said. If that sounds like a defense of Rush Limbaugh , it sort of is. Newt has a point about double standards of media coverage, but De Niro was likely making light of the fact that so many people viewed Obama’s 2008 candidacy in racial terms. In any case, Gingrich said the president should hold De Niro accountable. “On behalf of my wife, and on behalf of Karen Santorum and on behalf of Ann Romney, I think Robert De Niro is wrong. I think this country is ready for a new First Lady and he doesn’t have to describe it in racial terms,” he added. The White House and the First Lady’s office agreed with Newt. “We believe the joke was inappropriate,” said Olivia Alair, Michelle Obama’s press secretary. The proceeds from Monday’s event benefitted the Obama Victory Fund, a joint venture supporting the Obama campaign and Democratic National Committee. De Niro’s comments :

Rick Santorum scored another two wins in the race for the Republican presidential nomination Tuesday night, indicating a potentially protracted race ahead. The former U.S. Senator won the Alabama and Mississippi primaries , overcoming the financial advantages of Mitt Romney and Southern allegiances to Newt Gingrich. Santorum strengthened his candidacy as the GOP campaign rolls into a state-by-state delegates battle in the weeks, and very possibly months, ahead. An aggressive push by Romney to try and capitalize on the still-divided conservative electorate failed to take hold, and he finished third in both states. “We did it again,” Santorum said, addressing jubilant supporters in Louisiana, which votes next week. “The time is now for conservatives to pull together.” The outcome of the Alabama and Mississippi primaries bolstered Santorum’s argument that he should emerge as the final GOP competitor to Romney. But Gingrich, who finished a close second in both states, noted that he earned about as many delegates as his rivals, and pledged to continue on. “The elite media’s efforts to convince the nation that Mitt Romney is inevitable just collapsed,” Gingrich said, addressing a subdued crowd here in Birmingham. “If you’re the front-runner and you come in third, you’re not much of a front-runner.” Yet Romney may end up no worse than when he started in the delegate count, which will ultimately decide the nominee (if he can win 50 percent or more). Early Wednesday, Romney was able to add to his delegate tally with a triumph in Hawaii’s Republican caucuses, as well as a victory in American Samoa.

Mitt Romney won Washington state’s Republican caucuses this weekend, gaining a boost heading into Super Tuesday tomorrow, March 6, when 11 states hold contests. The choice isn’t binding. Romney won 37.6 percent of vote. He’s put together a bit of a win streak, also carrying Wyoming, Arizona and Michigan within the last week. Ron Paul edged Rick Santorum for second place with both receiving about 25 percent of the vote, with Newt Gingrich coming in fourth with 11 percent of the vote. Republican contests on March 6 include Ohio, a swing state that President Obama, a Democrat, won in 2008 and Republican President George W. Bush won in 2004. Polls there are very close, while Santorum has the edge in Oklahoma and Tennessee, and former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich leads surveys in Georgia. Romney is expected to win Massachusetts, Vermont and likely Virginia. Paul will continue to be a factor everywhere, particularly in states with caucus formats. The 2012 Washington Republican Caucus results: Mitt Romney 19,111 (37.6%) Ron Paul 12,594 (24.8%) Rick Santorum 12,089 (23.8%) Newt Gingrich 5,221 (10.3%) Other 1,749 (3.4%)

Come on now, really??? SMDH The Republican presidential candidates Wednesday night, during a GOP debate in Arizona, took shots at President Barack Obama for his pro-choice history. Newt Gingrich deflected a question about Obama’s recent decision mandating that employers’ insurance plans cover contraception by pointing out that Obama voted in favor of a law that protected abortion providers during his term as state senator of Illinois “You did not once during the 2008 campaign ask why Barack Obama voted in favor of legalizing infanticide,” Gingrich said. “If we’re going to debate about who is the extremist on this issues, it is President Obama, who, as a state senator, voted to protect doctors who killed babies. Mitt Romney lambasted Obama’s new requirement that insurers of faith-based organizations who object to birth control must offer the coverage to those groups’ employees for free. “I don’t think we’ve seen in the history of this country the kind of attack on religious freedom we’ve seen in Barack Obama most recently requiring the Catholic Church to provide for its employees and its various enterprises health care insurance that would include birth control, sterilization and the morning after pill,” he said. “He tried to retreat from that, but he retreated in a way that was not appropriate, because these insurance companies have to provide these same things, and now the Catholic Church will have to pay for them.” In fact, the Catholic Church is exempt from Obama’s contraception mandate. Kick rocks in flip-flops douchebag! Source Flip the page to peep the video of “Nasty” Newt’s ridiculous rant.

Former lovebirds and Gossip Girl co-stars Ed Westwick and Jessica Szohr are now giving it another shot, reportedly. Says an eyewitness who saw them together: “They were eating brunch at Allswell restaurant in Brooklyn Feb. 11. They were seated in a corner table by the window and were kissing and making out!” Their lovefest continued through into Sunday. “I saw Ed and Jessica eating brunch at Cafe Colette in Brooklyn on Feb. 12 and they were all over each other, ” a second eyewitness tells Life & Style . Just last month at the Television Critics Association conference, Ed Westwick, who plays Chuck Bass, said he had no plans for Valentine’s Day. “I’ve never done anything for Valentine’s Day because there’s never been anyone worth it, and I have no plans this [year],” he told Life & Style . Though reps for Jessica and Ed didn’t comment, the duo ended things amicably before, so it’s not hard to see how a reconciliation could happen. “He’s a really rad guy,” Jessica Szohr has said about Ed. “He’s awesome and smart and talented and adorable, and we make each other laugh.”

In an interview with Music Radar this week, Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine dished on his support for Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Seriously, he did. Here’s one major quote: “I was completely oblivious as to who Rick Santorum was, but when the dude went home to be with his daughter when she was sick , that was commendable.” “Also, just watching how he hasn’t gotten into doing the horrible, horrible attack ads like Mitt Romney’s done against Newt Gingrich, and then the volume at which Newt has gone back at Romney… You know, I think Santorum has presidential qualities.” “I’m hoping that if it does come down to it, we’ll see a Republican in the White House next year … and that it’s Rick Santorum.” A spokesman for Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign, which came to life with three wins last week , has not responded to a request for comment. For Mustaine, who hopes “whatever is in the White House next year is a Republican,” candidates Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich just don’t cut it. Of Gingrich, he says, “Watching Newt Gingrich, I was pretty excited for a while, but now he’s just gone back to being that person that everybody said he was.” “He’s that angry little man. I still like him, but I don’t think I’d vote for him. As for Romney, “I was floored the other day to see that Mitt Romney’s five boys have a $100 million trust fund. Where does a guy make that much money?” A fair question. No word if Megadeth plans to open for Rick at his campaign rallies or travel on his bus with The Duggar Family … but we really hope so.
