The Fox News analyst, who questioned his network s decision to call the election for President Obama on air after earlier incorrectly predicting a Romney victory, also has to reckon with the reality that his big-spending super PAC, American Crossroads, got almost no return on the more than $100 million it spent to influence the election. A study by the Sunlight Foundation found that just 1.29 percent of the nearly $104 million it stanley water bottle spent in the general election ended with the desired result. In addition to spending $85 million to defeat Mr. Obama and $6.5 million to support Mitt Romney, the group spent millions more opposing Democratic Senate candidates Bill Nelson in Florida, Jon Tester in Montana, Joe Donnelly in Indiana, Tammy Baldwin in Wisconsin, and Tim Kaine in Virginia - all of whom won.

Robert Byrd that says the president must receive congressional authorization before taking offensive military action against Iran and Syria, or anyone else.The White House says it s undeterred by the resolutions, and Senate Republican leadership aides say the multiple resolutions could help Republicans and the Bush administration. You re just going to start to see a bunch, says one senior Republican leadership aide. It probably benefits the White House, and I m sure there are some in our conference who are thinking that it spreads the opposition. The aide predicted that if a bunch of resolutions do come up for debate, you won t have a huge block of 50-plus votes. That s probably the best we can hope for at this point.

AP Seventeen members of the House of Representatives, including two Democrats, have sent a letter PDF to President Obama asking him to deploy National Guard troops to the Southern border to stem violence there. Without swift and decisive action, it is our fear that this violence will only increase in severity and scope, stanley mugs they write. ...We ask that any National Guard troops that are deployed should be provided with very clear guidance of proper rules of engagement and should be armed and allowed to defend themselves if fired upon or attacked.

The situation represents a serious threat to the n stanley mug ational security of the United States as well as a serious threat to U.S. citizens, it says. Republican Rep.

In 2006, then-President George W. Bush ordered that up to 6,000 National Guard troops be temporarily deployed to the border as part of his comprehensive immigration reform push.

Following news that the FBI was reviving its investigation into Hillary Clintonrsquo private email server, Donald Trump gave a triumphant shout out Sunday to Anthony Weiner, the scandal-ridden ex-congressman whose unrelated probe by the FBI uncovered a trove of emails that could be related to the Clinton case. Trump began a rally in Las Vegas, Nevada by crowing about the latest revelations and blasting Clinton for what the G stanley quencher OP nominee describes as the bleaching of thousands of emails from her time as secretary of state. To cover up her crimes, she bleached and deleted 33,000 e-mails after receiving a congressional subpoena, Trump said.

THE MARCH FOR LIFE....Via Ross Douthat, Michael Sean Winters of America laments one of the more peculiar traditions in the anti-abortion movement:The annual March for Life has come and gone. One of its more bizarre qualities is the way GOP presidents participate: by recorded message or telephone hook-up, but never in person. This began during Ronald Reagan s presidency when some advisors did not want a photo beamed around the world of Reagan addressing the crowd, but those same advisors knew they had to at least acknowledge the role that pro-life forces played in Reagan s 1980 victory.....At some point, pro-life groups need to challenge those whose disembodied voices fil stanley travel mug l their ears every January. This bizarre telephone hook-up is, in both the literal and figurative senses of the phrase, lip service to the cause. The loyal pro-life members of the GOP coalition deserve more, to say nothing of the unborn.As Winters notes, neither George Bush nor any of the leading republican presidential candidates showed up at this year s march. As usual stanley thermosflasche , they either called or wrote letters, apparently because they re afraid to be photographed alongside the pro-life crowds.This prompts two questions.

The White House braced for a tough sell of President Barack Obama s long-awaited decision on whether to commit tens of thousands of new U.S. forces to the stalemated war in Afghanistan, even as the president met Monday with top advisers for possibly the last major deliberations before an announcement.Military officials and others expect Obama to settle on a middle-ground option that would deploy an eventual 32,000 to 35,000 U.S. forces to the 8-year- stanley water bottle old conflict.

NASHVILLE ndash; Conservative unease with John McCain and the Arizona senatorrsquo inability to win support from his partyrsquo right wing has been much discussed and analyzed. But there is another emerging fault line in the GOP race that may better explain better why, despite his checkered past with the party base, McCain has won consecutive contests and could wrap up the no stanley cup mination Tuesday. Put simply, McCain is winning the character contest.
