This was the week Mitt Romney should have sealed the Republican presidential nomination. He was expected to win Tuesday’s caucuses in Colorado, to win or tie in Minnesota and to do credibly well in Missouri. Instead, the former Massa-chusetts governor managed to lose all three contests to Rick Santorum, a candidate who has spent most of the campaign stuck near the bottom of the polls.

When good news happens to a bad candidate like Mitt Romney, it makes an already difficult situation worse. He has enough trouble communicating any message, much less a mixed one.

WASHINGTON – Rick Santorum is back! Is Herman Cain next? Do you think Rick Perry is kicking himself for dropping out of this race? Paging Sarah Palin!

On Sept. 4, 2003, three Israeli air force F-15s flew low over the gates of the former death camp at Auschwitz. On the ground – on the train tracks, in fact, leading to the gas chambers– a delegation of Israeli military officers stood at attention.

It’s depressing to watch the unfolding of yet another political season in which the parties are united in their determination to keep public attention away from the elephant in the room.

WASHINGTON – You’d think the political process had turned into one big, sexy GoDaddy Super Bowl ad, with all the focus on breasts, bellies and even butts this week.

In the 15 states that are likely to decide who controls the White House and the Senate in 2013, Hispanic voters will represent the margin of victory.

The State of the Union address is a political exercise in the best of times. But when a president is running for re-election and Congress is dominated by his most bitter opponents, there’s even less pretense than usual.
JEFFREY GOLDBERG
One of the arguments often made in favor of bombing Iran to cripple its nuclear program is this: The mullahs in Tehran are madmen who believe it is their consecrated duty to destroy the perfidious Zionist entity (which is to say, Israel) and so are building nuclear weapons to launch at Tel Aviv at the first favorable moment.
DOYLE MCMANUS
For months, Mitt Romney’s rivals in the Republican presidential race have hammered him as a closet moderate, especially on third-rail social issues such as abortion and gay marriage.

On Jan. 13, India became the latest country to celebrate a year completely polio-free. After more than a century as a global scourge and hundreds of thousands lives lost, polio may now be on the verge of being the second human disease wiped off the face of the Earth, after smallpox, which was eradicated 36 years ago.
