Mitt Romney has simply spent too much of his life in the penthouse - there's no fixing him. Here, he tells Fox & Friends that he wishes he could claim Hispanic roots.
You were talking about how your father was born in Mexico. It’s the first time I’d heard you say that. Is that helping you with the Latino community in Florida?

Bobby Jindal complains about a teachers union leader who argued against expansion of Louisiana's new voucher law, suggesting that parents aren't sophisticated enough to make school choices for their kids.
If I’m a parent in poverty I have no clue because I’m trying to struggle and live day to day.
The voucher program is currently limited to “Opportunity Scholarships” in New Orleans.
The program is a key element of Jindal’s broad proposal to overhaul Louisiana’s education system and would make any low-income family whose child was in a school rated C, D or F eligible for public money to send the student to a private school, writes Adelson.
Teacher tenure and the use of seniority in making personnel decisions are also at risk of being cut under the proposals. However, Steve Monaghan, president of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, has attacked these aspects of the proposal and has accused Jindal of using “inflammatory rhetoric” to demonize teachers.

John Heilemann is a regular on Morning Joe, so it's surprising to see Scarborough giving the Game Change co-author such a hard time.
How many times did you bring up John Kerry's 13.1% tax rate in 2004? Is that none? Is that 2? Answer the question...

Was Jan Brewer's finger motivated by racial animus when it wagged in the president's face? The race warriors are swarming.
...the reality is, we live in a country, we live in a world where there is, you know, bias that we have that is subconscious...
While many in the media have speculated that Brewer might have caused the dust-up for political gain, I've not heard anyone suggest the more likely scenario that the president - who plays politics with every issue, no matter how serious - made the scene to stoke his base.

Is Allen West over the top, or exactly what's needed when he says the liberal leadership should take their socialist policies elsewhere - in hard hitting terms.
You can take it to Europe, you can take it to the bottom of the sea, you can take it to the North Pole, but get the hell out of the United States of America.

Newt says in debates that he never advocated for a federal insurance mandate. But here's tape - from 2009 - in which he does just that.
I didn't advocate federal mandates. I talked about it at a state level... finding a way to try to have people have insurance, particularly for wealthy people who are simply free-riding on local hospitals.

Asked for the single most significant moment of his life (after the obvious such as the birth of children), Alec Baldwin cites a thank you call from Ted Kennedy.
I felt like I was going to cry, because I worked so hard to try to puff my little wind into the sails of Teddy's campaign...
Baldwin discusses investing 16 whole days in Kennedy's successful reelection campaign (against Mitt Romney), so you can understand why he was so deeply impacted by Ted's call.

Why has Mitt surged to a 15 point lead in Florida? By spending lots of money - 5 times more than Newt - making Gingrich into a demon.
The money was the answer here - they just carpet-bombed Gingrich... they really have made Newt Gingrich not unelectable, but unacceptable.
