Washington Wizards big man JaVale McGee is undoubtedly the most wonderful player in the NBA. Whether he’s running the wrong way when his team gets possession of the basketball, throwing alley-oops to himself while his team is getting blown out of the building, or attempting to single-handedly torpedo the NBPA’s position during a tense labor negotiation period – this guy’s knack for unintentional comedy… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Opposing Views Discovery Date : 23/02/2012 03:19 Number of articles : 2
Rick Santorum’s presidential campaign released a new television ad on Thursday that features no spoken words, save the former senator approving the ad’s message. The spot, which will air in Michigan, is nothing more than a compilation of past Romney quotes and positions, which flash on the screen in white text against a black background. Despite the lack of sound, it’s remarkably effective. Read More… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Huffington Post Discovery Date : 23/02/2012 13:47 Number of articles : 3

Members of the United Auto Workers expressed extreme displeasure with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s comment that rather than bail out the auto industry, “we should have let Detroit go bankrupt.” They said that Romney doesn’t understand that the bailout didn’t just save companies and jobs, it saved careers and families. They went further to say that when conservatives like Romney… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Crooks and Liars Discovery Date : 17/02/2012 13:18 Number of articles : 3

Ron Paul comes in third in latest GOP contest. By Gil Kaufman Mitt Romney Photo: Joe Raedle/ Getty Images Just four days after notching his most convincing win of the primary season so far, former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney made it two in a row by taking Saturday night’s Republican caucus in Nevada with 47.6 percent of the vote. In a season where three different candidates have won the first four contests, that gives Romney the distinction of being the first to grab two consecutive wins. “This is not the first time you’ve given me your vote of confidence, and this time I’m going to take it to the White House,” a clearly excited Romney said at a victory speech, where he once again turned his attention away from his Republican opponents and on President Obama. Unlike Florida, where Representative Ron Paul didn’t compete in order to focus on Nevada and other upcoming states, and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum was forced to suspend his campaigning to deal with a sick child, all four remaining candidates worked the road in the first Western contest of the season. After coming in 14 points behind Romney in Florida, Newt Gingrich was hoping for a solid comeback but could not rely on a strong debate performance, as there was not one in advance of the latest battle. On Saturday night he finished well behind Romney, rolling up just 22.7 percent of the vote (with 71 percent of precincts reporting at press time). While Romney took to the stage in a room full of cheering supporters, the Gingrich headquarters was a stark contrast, an empty room where the former House Speaker spoke to reporters via television. “I am a candidate for president of the United States,” Gingrich said. “I will be the candidate of the president of the United States.” Romney won Nevada handily in 2008, taking 51 percent of the vote because his rivals in the last GOP primary race basically let him run unopposed assuming the state’s large Mormon population would ensure Romney — who is Mormon — a win. Though Mormons only account for 7 percent of the state’s population (around 180,000), they are rabid voters and reliably make up one-quarter of Republican caucus-goers. But it wasn’t it as clear-cut this time. Even Santorum, who has moved to the back of the pack since his recount win in Iowa a month ago, put up a strong battle, though he ended up in fourth place with just 11.1 percent. And Paul, who was counting on the state’s vocal Tea Party contingent and independent voters to come out for him, had a decent showing in third place with 18.6 percent. As he did in Florida, Romney came in with a much bigger ground game than the rest of the field, a record of visiting the state often over the past year-and-a-half and, for what it’s worth, the endorsement of real-estate mogul and once-potential candidate Donald Trump. Regardless of the results, unlike winner-take-all Florida, no actual delegates will be awarded following the Nevada caucus. As in Iowa, delegates will be elected to go to the county convention and then to a state gathering, who will then decide where the state’s 34 delegates go to the GOP convention in Tampa. It’s possible the delegates who go to Florida in late August may not reflect the final results of Saturday’s vote. Voting also began Saturday in Maine’s caucus, whose vote will take place over the next week. More voters go to the polls on Tuesday, when Colorado and Minnesota also caucus.

Chuck Schumer at a campaign event for Lew Fidler Senator Chuck Schumer had some fun the other day when he “mistakenly” confused the “Buffett Rule,” President Barack Obama’s tax proposal that the wealthy pay at least the same tax rate as the middle class, with presidential candidate Mitt Romney. “So, it’s a priority for us to act on some kind of Romney—I mean, Buffett Rule,” he joked .

Mitt Romney looking stiff, forced and a little awkward? There’s a stunner! We kid. While we are endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights, as the GOP presidential hopeful reminds us, most of us are not endowed with singing abilities. In that respect: Mitt Romney … He’s just like us! Mitt Romney Sings America the Beautiful The Republican often delves into a monologue on the campaign trail about the greatness of America as seen through the lyrics of “America the Beautiful.” In Iowa, for instance, he said that the “amber waves of grain” were corn; in Florida, he tied the “spacious skies” to the state’s role in space exploration. Typically, Romney will talk-sing the lyrics, but he must have had a second cup of coffee this week, as he actually burst into song in The Villages, Fla. The crowd of mostly senior citizens sang along. The press covering Romney, who won Florida’s primary easily, wondered, “Was this really happening?” It was, and on the Tonight Show last night, Michelle Obama described Romney’s singing as “beautiful” and said the song should be sung by everyone. Classy lady. But can Mitt hold a candle to Barack singing Al Green ?! Obama Sings Al Green Who’s the better singer of these 2012 candidates?
