After Loss, G.O.P. Faces Struggle Over Party’s Direction With their party on the verge of losing the popular presidential vote for the fifth time in six elections, Republicans across the political spectrum anticipate a prolonged and probably divisive period of self-examination. The coming debate will be centered on whether the party should keep pursuing the antigovernment focus that grew out of resistance to the health care law and won them the House in 2010, or whether it should focus on a strategy that recognizes the demographic tide running strongly against it.

After Loss, G.O.P. Faces Struggle Over Party’s Direction

With their party on the verge of losing the popular presidential vote for the fifth time in six elections, Republicans across the political spectrum anticipate a prolonged and probably divisive period of self-examination.

Earned

Victims. Dependent. That’s what Mitt Romney called forty-seven percent of Americans. Including people on Medicare. But what about his plan for you? Romney would replace guaranteed benefits with a voucher system. Seniors could pay six thousand dollars more a year. A plan AARP says would undermine Medicare. You’re no victim…you earned your benefits. Don’t let Mitt Romney take them away.

Chrysler: Romney is wrong, Jeep not leaving US for China

Chrysler is not moving Jeep production from Ohio to China despite claims by Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign, the auto company said.

During a campaign rally in Defiance, Ohio, on Thursday, Romney accused the Detroit-based automaker, one of the recipients of the Obama administration’s $80-billion bailout of the U.S. auto industry, of planning to shift production of its Jeep brand of cars overseas.

John Sununu Thinks He Knows Why Colin Powell Endorsed Barack Obama (Hint: It’s Because of His Race) After a solid spell without a serious gaffe, the Romney campaign reclaimed some of its awkward glory on Thursday when campaign co-chair and former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu told Piers Morgan he was pretty sure Colin Powell had endorsed President Barack Obama because they’re both black. He was responding to a question from Morgan about whether Powell should leave the Republican Party after endorsing Obama twice now, but he didn’t actually answer that question until hours later, when he tried to walk back his remarks.
