Mitt Romney's Biggest Problem
 | ||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||
The Big Story, By E.J. Dionne Mitt Romney has lost his central asset. It is no longer obvious that he is the Republican with the best chance of defeating President Obama. The worst part for Romney is that the best case against Santorum on the matter of electability involves the former Pennsylvania senator's positions on social issues, which are well to the right of the center. Yet if he goes after Santorum as too socially conservative to win in the fall, Romney risks casting himself as to Santorum's left on social and moral questions. And it is precisely Romney's image as an inconstant conservative that created an opening for Santorum on the Republican right in the first place. READ MORE | ||||||

Featured Column: Bo Cutter President Obama's recent budget is the "numbers" version of his State of the Union speech. It mirrors the speech almost exactly. Of course it is a political budget. But that doesn't mean that it's not important. READ MORE | ||||||

Politics Appearing at a Milwaukee padlock plant, President Barack Obama called Wednesday for tax cuts for American manufacturers and higher taxes for companies that move overseas, pressing what he hopes will be a winning campaign issue. Wisconsin's embattled Governor Scott Walker, who greeted Obama at the airport, had been scheduled to join him for the event at Master Lock but decided at the last minute not to attend. Walker's spokesman, Cullen Werwie, said the governor was recovering from the flu and had to cancel his plans to go to the event. READ MORE | ||||||

Video Of The Day Rick Santorum's newest ad, titled "Rombo," features a Mitt Romney lookalike -- easily identifiable by his fancy clothes and trademark haircut -- stalking through an abandoned warehouse with an old-fashioned machine gun that shoots mud at a cardboard Santorum. The ad concludes with "Rombo" covered in mud from his own gun, and the ominous warning that "in the end, Mitt Romney's ugly attacks are going to backfire." READ MORE | ||||||

Social Security And You Many times over the years, I've seen Mom getting the short end of the Social Security stick in a mom-and-pop business because husbands and/or their accountants reported all the business income on the Schedule SE under Pop's name and Pop's Social Security number without thinking things through.

The Big Story, By Gene Lyons For the record, the priest who married my wife and me in 1967 advised us that we could in good faith practice birth control. He reasoned that as Pope Paul VI was then preparing an encyclical regarding faith and sexuality, young Catholics could reasonably assume that church dogma regarding contraception would soon change to reflect contemporary realities: specifically that a couple intending to bring children into their marriage might legitimately seek to do so in their own time. A university chaplain, he no doubt understood how the combination of Rome's authoritarianism and theological nit-picking tended to drive educated young people from the church. Anyway, everybody knows how that worked out. Next came Humanae Vitae, Pope Paul VI's 1968 doubling down on the church's blanket condemnation of artificial means of birth control -- a blast from the medieval past as most American Catholics now see it.

Featured Column: Leonard Pitts Jr. One explanation is ignorance, i.e., that when a troupe of U.S. Marines posed in Afghanistan with a flag bearing the logo -- a double "s" in the shape of lightning bolts -- of the Schutzstaffel, or SS, the military and police arm of the Nazi Party, they had no idea what it was. If that's the best case scenario, it indicts the facts-optional "truthiness" that often dominates political debate. READ MORE | ||||||

Featured Column: Ellen Chesler Two things we can be sure of: Whoever emerges from the bloodbath of the GOP contest will try and backtrack from the birth control extremism of the primary. And Obama supporters, backed up by the advocacy community, will in turn stand ready to pounce on this inevitable flip-flopping. READ MORE | ||||||

Law & Order This weekend, five more journalists from a Rupert Murdoch-owned British tabloid were arrested as part of an ongoing bribery investigation. The arrests have once again raised questions about whether Murdoch's News Corp. might face prosecution for bribery in the U.S. under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Reuters reported last week that U.S. authorities are "stepping up investigations" of the possible bribery by Murdoch employees. READ MORE | ||||||
