Ben Swann of Fox 19 Cincinnati said that it appears that Romney is pulling ahead of Santorum in the hotly-contested state. He said, “I think the Romney-effect here has been that he realizes there are really two kinds of conservatives in Ohio. (More…)
Ann Romney appeared on Your World to discuss what it’s like being with her husband, GOP candidate Mitt Romney, on the campaign trail. She admitted that while she was vocal about her husband not running for president again, this time she felt like he’s the person to fix the economy and “bring some sanity back to Washington.”
Neil Cavuto asked Mrs. Romney how she will manage the rigorous job of being first lady if it comes to that, all the while dealing with multiple sclerosis, a fatiguing disease that Neil himself knows all too well. She responded, “If I can do a campaign, and I haven’t been home (More…)

BALTIMORE – Maryland residents do not have to provide a “good and substantial reason” to legally own a handgun, a federal judge ruled Monday, striking down as unconstitutional the state’s requirements for getting a permit.
U.S. District Judge Benson Everett Legg wrote that states are allowed some leeway in deciding the way residents exercise their Second Amendment right to bear arms, but Maryland’s objective was to limit the number of firearms that individuals could carry, effectively creating a rationing system that rewarded those who provided the right answer for wanting to own a gun.

A colonel who received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his heroism during World War II has died at the age of 92.
Col. Van T. Barfoot received the honor in 1944 for his bravery during a famous WWII battle in Italy in which he faced down a column of tanks and single-handedly saved the lives of two injured men — but the story involves more than his selfless rescue of his fallen comrades.
Barfoot, a Native American who (More…)
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh apologized this weekend for offensive comments he made about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified in front of Congress about contraception coverage. Columnist for The Daily Beast and Democratic political analyst, Kirsten Powers, thinks that there is a double standard when it comes to liberals versus conservatives.
While she agrees that what Limbaugh said was “extremely egregious” and “deserves the outpouring of anger,” Powers wonders where is the outpour of cries when liberals, (More…)

The NFL is expanding its investigation into bounty-gates for hits and injuries to players. Former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams is in hot water today after admitting he ran a bounty program, which essentially pays players to injure others and knock opponents out of games.
Former NFL player Greg Buttle said there were bounty pools for interceptions, fumbles, and winning tackles during his time with the NFL, but you only won the pool if you scored a touchdown.
He said that when you get a shot on a quarterback, you take it, and therefore Buttle remains unsure as to the implications of Williams’ bounty admittal.
“The game of football is mandatory physical abuse of the opponent,” Buttle said. “That’s the game.” (More…)
In an appearance before White House reporters on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu listened as President Obama reaffirmed the U.S.’s commitment to the nation. Obama told the PM that America would “always have Israel’s back” and that the bond between the two countries is “unbreakable.”
Netanyahu then responded to his comments, taking a hard stance in reminding the commander in chief of his nation’s long-standing tie to America.
“When Americans look at the Middle East, they know (More…)
During Saturday’s ‘Huckabee Forum 3: Jobs’ in Ohio, a father of a wounded veteran became emotional when he asked Mitt Romney what he would do as president to take care of veterans like his son, who suffers from severe post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury. Mitt Romney replied, “I can tell you if I’m president of the United States, I will not be raising co-pays on soldiers that are wounded, on men and women who serve this country. And I will do everything in my power to help your son and the men and boys and women and girls like him.”
Today on America’s Newsroom, Mike Huckabee weighed in on this “risky moment” during the forum. He said this was a seminal moment in Romney’s campaign because, if he answered with a cold response, his campaign could have effectively ended.
“What people are looking for is not somebody who could solve problems, but someone at least who has some sense of (More…)

After entire neighborhoods were completely wiped out by deadly tornadoes that struck over the past days, the town of Henryville, Ind. is among them as a community that has no choice but to start to rebuild … but only after deciding what can be salvaged and what can’t.
One family of business owners recounted the terrifying events leading up to the moment a tornado hit their restaurant. The husband and wife owners, along with their customers, family and friends, took shelter in the establishment’s basement, not knowing what the outcome of the twister would be.
One local resident who drove to the restaurant for safety said that (More…)

He’s the leader known as the Russian Rambo, and you have often seen him hunting shirtless and riding horseback shirtless (are we seeing a trend, here?). However, after winning Russia’s presidential election this weekend, the usually-tough ruler shed tears of joy. Putin declared himself the winner of the election, although only a quarter of the votes had technically been counted at the time.
According to exit polls, Putin took 59 percent of the country’s vote, yet independent watchdogs report widespread ballot rigging.
Watch this, er, emotional video: (More…)

Last week, Baier traveled to Michigan ahead of the primary there. Here’s a picture of the trip from his blog.
On Thursday’s Special Report, NPR’s Mara Liasson said that the similarities between Michigan and Ohio can’t be denied. She said, “But I think the big deal now is Super Tuesday and mostly Ohio, which is just like Michigan without the home state advantage for Romney.”

Tonight at 8p ET, this Federal judge emails a racial joke about President Obama — Should he be impeached for his bad judgment? “Is it legal” renders a verdict! Don’t miss ‘The O’Reilly Factor!’
According to FoxNews.com, the chief federal judge of Montana, Richard Cebull, apologized Wednesday for sending a racist email about President Obama that appears to compare him to a dog, the Great Falls Tribune reported.
Chief U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull sent the email from his courthouse email address to seven recipients on Feb. 20, with the subject line, “A MOM’S MEMORY,” according to the newspaper, which obtained a copy of it.
“Normally I don’t send or forward a lot of these, but even by my standards it was a bit touching. I want all of my friends to feel what I felt when I read this. Hope it touches your heart like it did mine,” the email reportedly began.

During the second half of the Super Tuesday special, a mixed party group of voters joined Frank Luntz to discuss more hot button topics. Luntz asked the voters what they think of Congress’s handling of the budget. Some responses from the group included sloppy, blindfolded, corrupt and partisan. Only one person had a favorable impression of how Congress has dealt with the budget.
Budget Committee chairman Paul Ryan (R-WI) was there to respond to their answers. “I expect that reaction,” he said, “because that’s the results that Congress has provided. The system is broken. We’re in paralysis. Our government has been making promises to people that it knows it can’t keep. Both political parties have done this.”
Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) thinks everyone in Washington is responsible for the failure to pass a budget, saying, “There’s a reason we have a nine percent approval rating (More…)
