Does Donald Trump matter?

Donald Trump has an uncanny knack for inserting himself into the center of the 2012 Republican race.

First it was as a potential candidate and the leading voice of the discredited birther movement. Then it was as a must-stop for Republican presidential candidates, with frontrunner du jour Newt Gingrich being the most recent aspirant to kiss the ring. Trump’s latest iteration is as debate moderator in a Newsmax-sponsored forum in Iowa on Dec. 27.

How U.S. Spy Satellite Mapped Soviet Union

Alexis Madrigal, The Atlantic
Here's your mission, should you choose to accept it: build a camera that can take high-resolution photographs of the Earth from orbit and return them to the Central Intelligence Agency. There's only one catch: you don't get to use a computer or a single kilobyte of network bandwidth.That's the task that the United States government gave to a group of engineers at the optical instruments company Perkin-Elmer in Danbury, Connecticut at the height of the Cold War. It was October 1966 and the new development of the new satellite system, Hexagon, was underway. The project was a...

The Dec. 27 forum is being hosted by the conservative Web site Newsmax and broadcast on Ion Television. Republican leaders have been urging candidates to avoid the event, warming that it could easily devolve into a circus-like atmosphere.

What Moves Republican Crowds in Iowa

Michael Shear, New York Times
DES MOINES — The Republican candidates for president are doing a lot of talking in the last week before voting begins.But spending a day observing how the crowds react to the candidates can be just as instructive.On Tuesday, Rick Perry held four events, starting in Council Bluffs and ending up in Osceola, about an hour south of Des Moines. Mr. Perry talked about being an outsider, taking the fight to President Obama and making the Congress a part-time legislature.

Romney's 2008 Game Plan Finally Pays Off

Jennifer Rubin, Wash Post
Politico reports on Mitt Romney’s newfound optimism about winning Iowa:This was, of course, the 2008 Romney game plan: Win Iowa, take New Hampshire comfortably and then coast to the nomination. Four years later, in a primary contest in which he tried to win without an Iowa victory, that plan may finally be coming together. Politico’s Reid J. Epstein writes: “He’s nearly 30 points ahead in his New Hampshire stronghold, which will vote the week after Iowa. Wins in both will make it increasingly hard for his rivals to continue their campaigns.”

President Obama's Slip

Pete Du Pont, Wall Street Journal
The Iowa Republican presidential candidate debate was very well done. Fox News people had good questions, Republican presidential candidates had good answers, and there was very little of the candidate nastiness that we had seen in earlier debates. The most successful candidates seemed to be Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney. Rick Santorum was nearly as good, and Rick Perry did better than he had been in the past.

The politics of the unemployment rate — in one chart!

We’ve long argued that the politics of the economy — for most voters at least — can be boiled down to a single number: the monthly unemployment rate.

Yes, economists will roll their eyes at this too-simple calculation — nerds! — that misses the real underpinnings of the relative strength (or weakness) of the American financial system.

Every poll conducted over the last two years makes one thing crystal clear: Voters are sick of the status quo in Washington and want outsiders to shake things up.

And yet, with less than a month remaining before the Iowa caucuses, the two frontrunners for the Republican presidential nomination — former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich — are political insiders of the first sort.

House GOP agrees to 2-month extension of payroll tax cut

Facing withering criticism from across the political spectrum and abandoned by Senate allies, House Republicans bowed to political reality Thursday and agreed to a two-month extension of a payroll tax cut for 160 million Americans.

The agreement represented a remarkable capitulation on the part of House Republicans, who had two days earlier rejected such a deal with Democrats as the kind of half-measure that their new majority was elected to thwart.

Gingrich and his ‘nice’ strategy are under fire from attack ads in Iowa

KNOXVILLE, Iowa — The unorthodoxy of Newt Gingrich’s presidential campaign will either make or break him, and it will happen in Iowa, where he is bleeding support under a hail of harsh TV advertising from opponents and their allies.

Gingrich’s answer to the barrage has been to try to stay “nice.” It’s a strategy that not only defies the former House speaker’s instinct for combat but also is producing uncertain results as it is pitted against the proven effectiveness of negative ads — particularly the millions of dollars’ worth that are piping through Iowa televisions in these final two weeks before the Jan. 3 caucuses.
