Romney Takes Nevada

Obama campaign makes remarks.

Mitt Romney won his second caucus since wowing in Florida.   With 48% of the vote, and an endorsement from Donald Trump, Romney has gained Republican momentum in his bid for the White House.

"This isn't the first time you gave me your vote of confidence, but this time I'm going to take it to the White House", Romney said.



Romney also won Nevada in 2008.  (How many times have you won twice in Vegas?)

Romney's running mates, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Super Tuesday bound, came in with 23% of the Nevada votes, while Rep. Ron Paul gained a jump at 18% over Pennsylvania's Sen. Rick Santorum who managed 11% of the Nevada's votes.

The White House won't speak (at least publicly) about the Republican debates and caucuses, but sure make mention of them in campaign emails.

Here's what one Obama campaign email read last week about Romney's Trump endorsement suggesting they are not impressed, nor amused, by the event at hand:
"Yesterday, Mitt Romney said he was "humbled" to accept Donald Trump's endorsement. Seriously.

Yes, Donald Trump -- birth certificate conspiracy leader -- has decided that Mitt Romney's his guy, and Romney has embraced him without reservation. He made a speech and even sent out a press release welcoming him.

Meanwhile, here's what we're humbled by: 38,830 supporters have donated to the Two-Term Fund."
We can only image what they must the saying (and thinking) about actor/comedienne Rosanne Barr's bid for the Green Party nomination.  Yes, the woman who demolished the National Anthem at the 1990 Super Bowl and wants hemp legalized, is running for president.

Ron Paul, it's time you stepped up your game.


Actually, she does make a little sense in this video. But who, and how many, will actually agree with and take heed of her message?

The Story Behind Presidents' Day

Did you know Presidents' Day isn’t just about a day off?  Originally established to honor George Washington’s birthday, it has since grown to celebrate all U.S. presidents who’ve shaped the country’s path. It’s a day to reflect on leadership, service, and the values that drive national progress. Presidents' Day dates back to 1879, when it was first recognized as a federal holiday for Washington. Later, Abraham Lincoln’s February birthday brought attention. By 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act combined the days, creating the long weekend many know today—but its purpose goes far deeper. From decisions that forged independence to policies steering modern challenges, U.S. presidents have helped shape history. It's a moment to appreciate lessons in courage, responsibility, and the impact of strong leadership on society today. How do you celebrate Presidents' Day?  Is it by learning about the leaders who influenced American history? Do you read their biographies, visit ...

Gary Locke Nominated as Ambassador to China

Gary Locke, former White House Secretary of Commerce, has been nominated by the President as U.S. ambassador to China. Locke replaces former Utah governor  Jon Huntsman, who has stepped down to (wait for it) possibly challenge President Obama in the 2012 presidential race. Locke was the first Chinese-American governor and should the Senate approve his nomination, would the be first Chinese-American ambassador to China.  He is a partner in the Seattle office of the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine which lists China as one of its specialties.

"He’s been a point person for my National Export Initiative, and last year, Gary’s depa...
