Sports Handicapper Gambles on Becoming President

(Nov. 4) -- Now that the Democrats have suffered a historic defeat on election day, a sports handicapper is doubling down on his goal of becoming President in 2012. Wayne Allyn Root is a well-known Vegas sports handicapper and the current front runner to be the Libertarian Party's nominee for the 2012 presidential race after being the running mate to 2008 nominee Bob Barr. He may seem a long shot, but Root believes that enough Americans would embrace the Libertarian philosophy if they were exposed to it -- and to him.

Fox Business Network Courts Tea Party with

Fox has finally made its fawning over the tea party official by creating a new show on Fox Business Network. It's called "Freedom Watch" and is hosted by Andrew Napolitano, a libertarian legal commentator for Fox. Napolitano ends the show with a sign off that must have Edward R.

Ron Paul: A Mouse Ready to Roar?

Libertarian-GOP candidate Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) reported that he raised $5.08 million this past quarter. Senator John McCain (R-AZ) eeked past him with $5.3 million. It is truly a testament to the Internet-Age that Paul's campaign can raise a combined total over $8 million with little to no attention from the mainstream media or the GOP's Party elders. His campaign has spent about 36% of his donations leaving him with a healthy amount of cash-on-hand.
