For Romney, 2012 strategy runs through NH, Nevada (AP) Posted: 02 Apr 2011 05:29 PM PDT AP - In his first presidential run in 2008, Mitt Romney sought back-to-back victories in Iowa and New Hampshire to propel him to the GOP nomination. He won neither, the two-state sprint failed and so did his candidacy.

Michele Bachmann: The Minnesota Clipper (Time.com) Posted: 01 Apr 2011 09:00 AM PDT Time.com - Though not yet a candidate, Michele Bachmann is upending a stodgy GOP field. Why she's for real

EPA Administrator Backs Climate Science as House, Senate Vote on Anti-EPA Bill (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 11:37 AM PDT ContributorNetwork - The GOP and several Democrats in Congress are continuing to fight the EPA over its power to regulate greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act, citing that doing so severely hurts job growth and economic development across the country. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has already approved a piece of legislation that would strip the EPA of this power and now it has moved to the Senate, even though there have been several days in voting this past week. However, next week there is expected to be a vote in both the Senate and the House on the GOP-introduced bills and the EPA could lose their regulating power for greenhouse gas emissions relatively soon.

Factbox: Obama Administration is Vague on Immigration (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 11:37 AM PDT ContributorNetwork - As President Barack Obama stands poised to announce his candidacy for a second term in office, the administration's track record on immigration is a mixed bag.

Harry Reid Says Republicans Fear the Tea Party (The Atlantic Wire) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 02:54 PM PDT The Atlantic Wire - While these thoughts about Republicans and the Tea Party may have been on the minds of Reid, Schumer and other Democrats for a while now, it was surprising to hear them vocalized so bluntly. It also seems that, with Obama's reelection campaign announcement expected early this week, Democrats are drawing an even starker line in the sand between them and their Republican counterparts.

President Obama's Quest for a Second Term (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 01:32 PM PDT ContributorNetwork - It may seem like a foregone conclusion, but even so it is newsworthy that President Barack Obama will probably announce during the next few days that he intends to seek a second term.

Romney Tries to Turn Health Care Reform Lemons into Electoral Lemonade (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 01:32 PM PDT ContributorNetwork - Mitt Romney has all of the advantages of a potential frontrunner.

Tea party, labor spend big in Wis. high court race (AP) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 01:30 PM PDT AP - Pro-labor organizations and one of the country's largest tea party groups are pouring money into Tuesday's Wisconsin Supreme Court election in an effort to turn the normally sleepy race into a referendum on the national fight over labor rights.

How Much of the 'Union Label' Will Be Shown 2012 Campaign? (ContributorNetwork) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 12:50 PM PDT ContributorNetwork - COMMENTARY | President Barack Obama is expected to officially launch his re-election campaign as early as this week. But despite the projections that he's going to raise some $1 billion for the 2012 campaign, one of his biggest rallying elements from 2008 may very well be less vocal and visible: unions.

Scott Walker by proxy with their unwavering support for JoAnn Kloppenburg over Justice David Prosser in Wisconsin’s April 5 Supreme Court election.

Government appeals judge's health care ruling (AP) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 10:43 AM PDT AP - The federal health care overhaul's core requirement to make virtually all citizens buy health insurance or face tax penalties is constitutional because Congress has the authority to regulate interstate business, the Justice Department said in its appeal of a ruling that struck down the Obama administration's signature legislation.

Meet the Man in Charge of Re-Electing Obama: Jim Messina (The Atlantic Wire) Posted: 03 Apr 2011 10:18 AM PDT The Atlantic Wire - Still, it's impossible to know what type of campaign manager that Messina will be. Will he make disenchanted liberals fall back in love with Obama while also wooing the undecided or will he continue to allow the core that got Obama elected in 2008 to feel forgotten? As with anything, only time will tell. That said here are five things about Messina, gathered from details and anecdotes throughout the Zeleny's profile, that we can be certain of:
