Washington Examiner Daily Political Digest
Perry, for the first time in any GOP debate, rattled former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney. He did it by bringing up a 2007 charge that Romney hired illegal immigrants to do lawn work at his Massachusetts home. Jobs are the magnet for illegal immigrants, Perry said. "And Mitt, you lose all of your standing, from my perspective, because you hired illegals in your home and you knew about it for a year. And the idea that you stand here before us and talk about that you're strong on immigration is on its face the height of hypocrisy."
A fractious rollicking debate at the Venetian in Las Vegas tonight, sponsored by the Western Republican Leaderhip Conference and anchored by CNN's Anderson Cooper, who asked crisp questions and let the candidates go at each other. How did they do? Some first impressions:
Tonight's CNN debate in Las Vegas was the liveliest one to date. There was no clear winner, but several candidates bloodied each other.
LAS VEGAS -- In the most explosive Republican presidential debate yet, candidates on Tuesday opened fire on former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has clung to frontrunner status despite a string of surges from other hopefuls, most recently businessman Herman Cain.
If Republicans are to succeed where Reagan failed, they must make a strong case for repealing or reforming the specific environmental laws that are slowing our economic recovery. On this regard, Perry's economic plan falls short.
EMPORIA, VA. -- His jacket and tie gone, his shirt sleeves rolled up to the elbow, President Obama reinstated the "Yes we can" mantra of 2008 in pushing his jobs package Tuesday in a gymnasium packed with about 1,300 students, teachers and residents who, as Virginia voters, could help decide the president's political fate.
We've been hearing a lot about immigration on the campaign trail, most of it based on outdated assumptions and echoing the arguments made when Congress was considering so-called comprehensive immigration reform bills in 2006 and 2007. But up on Capitol Hill, there appears to be progress -- bipartisan progress, even -- toward changing our immigration laws to reflect current and emerging realities.
