Authorities have confirmed tor the first time ever, that hackers attempted and almost succeeded at rigging a Miami primary vote, uncovering underlying security issues with the online voting systems of the future.
Speaking to Neil Cavuto, Herman Cain was more specific on the timetable for reassessing his campaign: "A week from now I will have made a final decision."
Previously, Rick Perry has shown that he is capable of remembering two out of three things at a time, but on Tuesday, at a campaign event in New Hampshire, he reportedly forgot both the United States voting age and the date of the general election.
It may be hard to remember, but Rick Perry's candidacy once seemed very promising to a lot of people, and book publishers jumped aboard the handsome cowboy/Bush II bandwagon--only to get off the second that everything got derailed.
The reason why Mitt Romney can afford to look cavalier about competing in the Iowa caucuses is because he's had a commanding lead in polling in the first early voting state, New Hampshire--until today, that is, when a new poll showed that back-from-the-dead Newt Gingrich is virtually tied with him.
It took the resurrection of Newt Gingrich for Jon Stewart to dredge up a familiar refrain: since pundits give every contender the momentary spotlight (before declaring them "dead"), why can't Ron Paul become the fleeting media darling?
Ron Paul hasn't gotten much attention at recent GOP debates and, as Politico's Dylan Byers reports, that streak may well continue at CNN's next square-off, where he'll be situated on the far right side of your TV screen in Santorum nowhereland.
As Mitt Romney plays down expectations, Newt Gingrich revels in his national momentum and Herman Cain finds his support slipping, the bellwether of all bellwether states, Iowa, is now looking at a four-way race: with Ron Paul gaining ground.
This is a Daily Show clip that you don't see often: In appraising the latest GOP debate, Jon Stewart had a few semi-agreeable things to say about the foreign policy remarks of candidates he frequently mocks, Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum.
In her first interview since the sexual harassment allegations against Herman Cain resurfaced, his wife Gloria told Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, "I'm thinking he would have to have a split personality to do the things that she said."
Friday morning, after a week of Herman Cain pressers and Rick Perry flubs, how did the evolving top tier of GOP contenders shake-up? Well, lets see: CBS News polling finds it to be a three-way race with Cain still holding on to a slim lead, Mitt Romney trailing close behind and a somewhat real "surge" for Newt Gingrich.
Herman Cain seems to be making more quips that haven't gone over that well recently, including his latest stab at humor by joking about Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas' sexual harassment accuser Anita Hill endorsing him.
Herman Cain's latest apparent outbreak of very poor wording occurred at a Michigan campaign stop where he remarked to a voter "How do you beat Obama?" and added the pun of "beat him with a Cain," according to multiple political reporters listening and tweeting at the same time.
Mitt Romney's ability to remain above the daily fray of campaigning has worked for him so far -- but now, with a new web ad and site, Jon Huntsman hopes that he can turn that strength into a weakness.
The latest example being bandied about Mitt Romney of his not-so-affable personality is a reportedly aloof exchange between him and passenger while flying in coach
Over half of Republicans don't view Herman Cain's resurfaced sexual harassment accusations as a "serious matter," and 69 percent of those who lean Republican say the ever-evolving storyline won't affect their vote either way, according to a newly released ABC News/The Washington Post poll.
After a bit of posturing and a few threats, New Hampshire finally set their "first in the nation" primary date officially to January 10th, which settles the schedule for the bellwether early voting states.
We've been hearing the counter-intuitive notion that the story of Herman Cain's resurfaced sexual harassment accusations may not derail the candidate--but what does polling have to say about it?
Herman Cain acknowledged that he was accused of sexual harassment while he was head of the National Restaurant Association, but called the claims "totally baseless" in his first direct comments on the story.
In a Politico profile, White House chief of staff Bill Daley describes what the president needs to do to get reelected, and the bar appears pretty high.
In all the drama of the 2012 Republican primary, The Daily Show host centered in on the mystery of Mitt Romney's ever-steady results in the polls: "How has he managed to neither gain nor lose support?"
Even though Donald Trump called Rick Perry's birtherism hints a "positive thing," he didn't seem sure that the tactic was great in the long run, according to comments he made last night to Piers Morgan.
In Iowa, as Politico reported, Rick Perry is debuting new ads geared to tout his job-creating prowess, and the message is a stark contrast to his pulse-pounding, sci-fi thriller web trailer he released a few weeks ago.
Last night, Jon Stewart sized up the recent "jokes" of Rick Perry and Herman Cain, and spots a trend in the sense of humor of the GOP candidates.
Texas governor Rick Perry, fading in the latest poll, has kept up his questions about Barack Obama's birth certificate that he brought up in a Parade magazine interview, telling CNBC, "It's fun to poke at him."
In the newest New York Times/CBS News survey, Herman Cain and Mitt Romney are still vying for the lead while Rick Perry's showing has dwindled all the way down to 6 percent, which is below Ron Paul who notched 8 percent support in the poll.
What was running through Rick Perry and Mitt Romney's minds during their notably tense debate face off?
Here's a new, wonky game: what words do you think voters mentioned the most when Rick Perry's name was read by a pollster?
The first votes of the 2012 presidential campaign will be cast on the third day of the new year, according to a schedule announced Monday evening by the Iowa Republican Party.
