ReutersDec. 26, 2011: Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum takes a break from pheasant hunting in Adel, Iowa.With 45 percent of Iowa Republican voters undecided and a roller-coaster ride about to come to a screeching stop next Tuesday with the GOP caucuses, it may be Rick Santorum's turn to take the final ascent and surprise the political class by ... doing better than expected?Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, has been touted as the sleeper candidate by none other than 2008 Iowa caucuses winner Mike Huckabee. He has relentlessly campaigned in the state, hitting all 99 counties and moving his family out there. He has held 350 campaign events in the past year.He has received key endorsements from well-known social conservatives in the state, and has had solid performances at each of the debates. And he's running an old-school style campaign that Iowa voters expect in the retail-style politics of the Hawkeye State.T
Chairman Mark Fahleson said Tuesday. "The Nebraska Republican Party is more focused than ever on electing another conservative Republican to join Sen. Mike Johanns and recapturing the U.S. Senate so that we can reverse the damage done by Ben Nelson, Washington Democrats and the Obama Administration."Nelson upset incumbent Nebraska Gov. Kay Orr in 1990 to earn his first statewide office and was re-elected in 1994 by a landslide. In 1996, he reneged on a campaign pledge that he would not seek higher office while governor and announced his candidacy for the Senate seat vacated by the retiring Sen. Jim Exon.Omaha millionaire businessman Chuck Hagel soundly defeated Nelson in that Senate race, but the two later served as colleagues when Nelson was elected in 2000.Stenberg thanked Nelson for his service, but said Nebraskans need "a genuine, lifelong conservative who is committed to serving his country -- not to personal financial gain."
ReutersHBO is catching some flak in the wake of comedian Bill Maher's crack about Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.Maher, who hosts the long-running HBO show "Real Time With Bill Maher," wrote a message on his Twitter account after the Broncos lost to the Buffalo Bills on Saturday."Wow, Jesus just f**ked #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere ... Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler "Hey, Buffalos killing them."Tebow had thrown four interceptions in his team's Christmas Eve loss to the Bills, which prompted Maher's remark.Tebow tweeted after the game: "Tough game today but what's most important is being able to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas everyone GB2."(GB2 is a phrase Tebow has made popular that means "God Bless + Go Broncos," according to his official website.)And while Tebow did not respond to Maher, some of his fans are calling for a boycott of HBO, urging customers who find Maher's tweet offensive to cancel their
BEIJING A long-awaited government report said design flaws and sloppy management caused a bullet train crash in July that killed 40 people and triggered a public outcry over the high cost and dangers of China's showcase transportation system.A former railway minister was among 54 officials found responsible for the crash, a Cabinet statement said Wednesday.The crash report was highly anticipated by the public. Regulations required the government to release the report by Nov. 20. When that date passed, the government offered little explanation, drawing renewed criticism by state media, which have been unusually skeptical about the handling of the accident and the investigation.The Cabinet statement cited "serious design flaws and major safety risks" and what it said were a string of errors in equipment procurement and management.The report affirmed earlier government statements that a lightning strike caused one bullet train to stall and a sensor failure allowed

ginia, Perry returned to hand-to-hand campaigning, his strength, and is blanketing Iowa airwaves with ads promoting his biography and his record.Campaigning as a hard-talking outsider, Perry planned to rumble through Iowa on a bus tour, meeting with supporters in coffee shops and diners non-stop ahead of the caucuses. As he ended the day, a pastor in the audience of a town hall-style meeting questioned him about a recent endorsement of a pledge that opposes abortion in all cases.Perry signed the Personhood USA pledge, which states "abortion and the intentional killing of an innocent human being are always wrong and should be prohibited." Gingrich, Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania also signed the pledge.Paul signed the pledge but with a footnote to emphasize his libertarian beliefs.Previously, Perry said he would allow abortion in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is at risk. He said he changed that vi
