The Never Ending Campaign

Is it me, or does it feel the campaign for President might never end? Especially when I see things like this:

Could Rand Paul bridge the gap between libertarians and Republicans?

Rand Paul, son of Ron Paul and Senator from Kentucky, is considering a run for President in 2016.

Is this a new Mitt Romney? [video]

Today, Politico reported that a shift in the Romney camp is leading to a “let Mitt be Mitt” shift in the Romney campaign. Then, we saw this (click here if you can’t see the video):   What do you think? Is this “new” Mitt Romney (which is actually the “old” Mitt Romney) the Mitt Romney we’ve […]
