CARSON CITY, Nev. -- Don't mistake Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's invitations to the Republican presidential contenders as anything more than a hospitable gesture. The governor is staying out of the nomination fight despite his rising stature in the GOP – or perhaps because of it.

Sandoval has invited the candidates to his office this week as they campaign ahead of Saturday's caucuses. If they make the trip to Carson City, the four – Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Ron Paul and Rick Santorum – can count on a smile and a firm handshake but no public stamp of approval.

"There isn't a candidate that wouldn't love to have his support, that's for sure," said Bob List, state Republican committeeman and a former Nevada governor who endorsed Ronald Reagan in 1980.

Sandoval was quick to endorse Texas Gov. Rick Perry in this year's presidential race, only to see him drop out last month after dismal showings in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Now, Sandoval is pledging his "full support" to whomever wins the party nomination. And he has recorded an automated phone message urging Nevada Republicans to vote in the caucuses – for any of the candidates.

Wild Thing's comment........

Gov. Sandoval had endorsed Rick Perry for President back in September. He has chosen not to endorse anyone that is left in the campaign. Good for himl, Our Gov. Rick Scott did no tendorse anyone either and I was glad. Gov. Scott is friends with Perry so I iimagine after Perry got out of the race Gov. Scott probably thought it better not to endorse anyone. Maybe the same thing with Nevada Gov. Sandoval.

Gingrich Tells Las Vegas Crowd He Will ‘Win The Nomination’

Las Vegas Sun Newspaper

With less than 24 hours to go before caucus time, Newt Gingrich stood in a Las Vegas bar and told voters not just why they should vote for him, but that if they voted for him he could win.

“Come join us,” Gingrich said. “Tell every friend you’ve got: You go to the caucus and speak up for a people’s campaign ... with your help, together, we will win the nomination and we will then win the election.”

Electability has been a recurring question, especially for Gingrich, who has trailed Romney by at least 20 points in the Nevada polls. In his past few campaign appearances, he has looked like he’s feeling the weight of those numbers.

But whether it was the excited fans, the professional lighting, the presence of his wife, Callista, or the mechanical bull — which he didn’t ride — 30 feet away, Gingrich appeared re-energized for the final campaign push — even joking with some supporters that they looked like they’d been in the bar “since last night.”

Yikes....oh my gosh. I don't think I would say this if I was trying to get people to vote for me. hahahaha

.."even joking with some supporters that they looked like they’d been in the bar “since last night.”

Nevada will head to caucus sites on Saturday to choose their preferred 2012 GOP nominee.

RENO, NV – After watching all the debates and contests in Iowa, New Hampshire and Florida, it’s finally Nevada’s turn in the political spotlight. Our moment will be brief, but at least 50,000 Nevada Republicans are expected to show up at caucus locations around the state Saturday and make their choices.

For first time participants it can be confusing. A caucus is not a primary. The government's election apparatus plays no part. It is organized and run by the political parties.

By definition it is a meeting of local members of a national party with two major functions, selecting delegates to a convention and registering preference for candidates. Both will be addressed at this Saturday's caucus, but all the attention will be on that second duty. It's called a presidential preference poll.

Unlike the Democrats, Republican officials rejected the idea of same day registration, so, in order to take part, you must have been a registered Republican by January 20th.

Pelosi Vows to Stand With Obama Against Catholic Church; Says Decision Forcing Catholics to Act Against Faith Was ‘Very Courageous’

CNSNews

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) vowed today that she will join with the Obama administration in standing up against the Catholic Church in defending a new regulation that will require Catholic individuals to buy, and Catholic institutions to provide, health insurance plans that cover sterilizations and artificial contraceptives, including those that induce abortions.

The Catholic church teaches that sterilization, artificial contraception and abortion are morally wrong and the Catholic bishops of the United States have argued that forcing a Catholic individual to purchase a health insurance plan that covers these things–or forcing a Catholic institution to provide such a plan–forces Catholics to act against their consciences and is a violation of the First Amendment right to free exercise of religion.

In letters being read from the pulpit in Catholic parishes across the nation, Catholic bishops are saying: “We cannot—we will not—comply with this unjust law.”

QUESTION:
“The administration has issued a regulation that will require all healthcare plans to cover sterilization and all FDA approved contraceptives including those that induce abortions. This will force Catholic individuals and institutions to act against their consciences. All across the nation..”

PELOSI:
“Is this a speech or do we have a question disguised as speech?”

QUESTION:
We cannot and will not comply with this law.

Will you stand with your fellow Catholics in opposing this law?

PELOSI:
I’m going to stand with my fellow Catholics in supporting the administration on this. I think it was a very courageous decision that they made and I support it.

Wild Thing's comment......

We have truly evil people in power. We cannot let them get another 4 years, it will only get worse.

Notice how Pelosi changes the words the reporter asked her ....from opposing to supporting. What an outright lie!!!

The highlight of the exchanges today between members of the House Oversight Committee and Attorney General Eric Holder came when Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY) was given her time to question the Attorney General regarding his responsibility in Operation Fast & Furious. The Congresswoman showed no patience for Holder's stuttering or dodging of questions and at one point said, "Excuse me, sir, my time is ticking."

Wild Thing's comment.......

Good for Rep. Ann Marie Buerkle! Holder could care less what has happened, remorse does not exist in the soul of Holder or Obama. .

Carl Cameron reports that the Florida primary may not be over. Under the Republican National Committee rules, no state can be winner take all until after April 1, which Florida was. Fox News has learned that tomorrow, the Gingrich campaign will send a Florida campaign official to look into the issue and see if they can get the rules enforced that prevent the state from being winner takes all and require that the delegates be divided proportionally. That could give Gingrich delegates from the state.

Wild Thing's comment........

So Newt is going to try and have the GOP of Floirda give him some hand outs of delegates. Newt the handout rino.
You can't win Newt but you will beg, borrow and steal delegates instead. sheesh

.E. Cupp and the Blaze panel sat down with Senator Jim DeMint during Thursday’s “Real News From The Blaze” to discuss the 2012 election, particularly Romney’s success with Tea Partiers in the Florida Primary. Of Romney, DeMint said, “he showed that he could stand tough” in Florida and “that’s what made the difference in my mind.”

“I‘m glad we dispelled this myth that Tea Partiers won’t support Romney.”

When asked if he thinks the Tea Party’s credibility will be tested this election, DeMint suggested that there is no one candidate that fits the Tea Party because the Tea Party comprises so many different small groups around the country — from Libertarians to disaffected Democrats to conservatives and Independents.

Wild Thing's comment.......

Interesting. DeMint is not endorseing anyone. I have heard him say he will only be working to get the other elections to elect a Republican and feels it would not help to pick out one presidential candidate.

I thought Mitt gave a really good speech and he hammered Obama which is what I wanted to hear.

Gingrich Predicts GOP Race Will Last 6 More Months

Gingrich delivering a defiant speech in the wake of a distant second place finish to Mitt Romney. Gingrich never congratulated Romney on his victory in Florida, but instead made it clear he intends to fight Romney in every state.

Newt Gingrich said to his crowd of supporters in Florida last night:

“I will be back in Florida, as the Republican nominee in August.” He even said that the only way that the race will end much before August’s Republican National Convention in Tampa is if front-runner Mitt Romney drops out.”

.

Wild Thing's comment.....

I am so glad Romney beat Newt. Not being a big fan of either of most of their politics, but Newt truly disgusts me. augh.Newt = Low class, self absorbed, egomaniac.

At least Romney has some good character traits when it comes to some areas that Newt is lacking big time.

It has been 1,000 days since the U.S. Senate passed a budget. With debt at record highs, Senate Democrats stand Idly by.

Neither side is perfect, but in comparison as to the most corrupt, the worst to have in office the democrats win the Gold medal.

Flashback 2006: NBC's Brian Williams Points Finger At President Bush

As NewsBusters previously reported, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams on Thursday, reacting with predictably similar disgust as the rest of the media to the picture of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger at Barack Obama, asked viewers, "Who have you ever seen talking to the president like this?"

Maybe he should have looked in the archives of interviews he did with George W. Bush wherein he was guilty of making the exact same supposedly offensive hand gesture at the President of the United States

Apparently Williams doesn't either, for here's part of his highly outraged report from Thursday:

Wild Thing's comment.....

Hahha the media is so phoney. They do it and to them it is OK, but if a Republican does it then it is oh soooo horrible. hahhahaa

The other thing too, Jan Brewer's State of AZ. is being sued by Obama for wanting to follow our immigration laws...I think she has a right to point a finger at the freak Obama.

Wild Thing's comment.......

This is so funny. Nick and I laughed so hard.

Sen. Rick Santorum will stay off the campaign trail, canceling scheduled stops in Florida so he can remain in Philadelphia with his 3 year-old daughter, Bella, who is hospitalized:

.

ABC News: Santorum's Daughter Has Pneumonia

The reason Bella Santorum was admitted to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia Saturday night is because she has pneumonia in both of her lungs, a campaign aide told ABC News.

The 3-year-old, who has the serious genetic disorder Trisomy 18, is not on a ventilator, though, which is a very good sign. The family has medical equipment in their Virginia home and because of the risk of infection in hospitals they try to keep her out unless it is absolutely necessary.

She was in and out of hospitals the first year of her life, but since then — aside from besides being admitted for surgeries — she has not spent any time in the hospital before Saturday, Rick Santorum has said on the campaign trail.

Wild Thing's comment.........

This goes beyond politics, I am praying this dear child will get well soon. And prayers for Rick Sanotrum and his wife and the rest of their family.
