Uano Romney to Gingrich: Release Freddie Mac report
Mitt Romney s personal aide during the 2012 campaign is disputing a story by President Obama s top political strategist that Romney implied Mr. Obama won the election by getting out the black vote across the country.According to the New York Daily News, Mr. Obama s campaign strategist, David Axelrod, wrote in a new memoir that when the president hung up the phone - unsmiling...and slightly irritated - he relayed to his advisers what the 2012 GOP nominee said during his concession call. You really did a great job of getting the vote out in places like Cleveland and Milwaukee, in other words, black people, Mr. Obama said, paraphrasing Romney, according to the book. That s what he thinks this was all about.

In the Zogby poll of likely Democratic voters, Hillary Clinton leads Barack Obama 33 percent to 26 percent, with John Edwards the only other candidate in double digits at 21 percent.

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday paved the way for the nation s toughest abortion law to remain in place in a ruling that again deflated clinics hopes of stopping - or even pausing - the restrictions anytime soon.The ruling by the all-Republican court is the latest defeat for Texas abortion providers, which have now lost at both the U.S. Supreme Court and the state s highest court since a ban on abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy took effect in September. This is a win for thousands of unborn Texans and I m proud to defend those who do not yet have a voice, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said. It is likely to further embolden other Republican-controlled states that are now pressing forward with similar laws, including neighboring Oklahoma, where many Texas women have crossed state lines to get an abortion for the past six months. The Republican-controlled Oklahoma Senate on Thursday approved a half-dozen anti-abortion measures, including a Texas-style ban.The decision by the Texas Supreme Court turned on whether medical licensing officials had an enforcement role under the law known as Senate Bill 8,

It is a task that is often overlooked by the media
