Rick Santorum’s trio of victories ...is shifting the Republican presidential contest into a state-by-state fight for delegates that could last much longer than initially anticipated. The battle appears to be breaking down along regional lines, with Santorum gaining momentum in the Midwest, Newt Gingrich resonating in the South and Mitt Romney faring best in the Northeast and elsewhere... For now, all four candidates are on a hunt for delegates, each with an incentive to stay in through the next several contests. Gingrich and Ron Paul were already pledging to stay in the race for the long haul, and both have...

Graham said that what Gingrich did as Speaker back in the 90's while Bill Clinton was President was something to praise and appreciate. Graham was in the House while Gingrich was Speaker. This points out something to me. Truth is very important. It should be. For Santorum and Romney to cloudy the truth about Gingrich to garner votes is despicable. During the month of February, the Truth about Gingrich's legislative and conservative success will be clarified. Also, the Truth about Santorum's spotty success and spotty conservatism will be clarifies. Lindsay Graham has begun the Gingrich clarification.

Dear Greta, I remember you from your CNN days. I am also aware that your husband Mr. Coale is a dedicated Demcrat liberal and you have been a loyal wife in co-hosting Democratic fund raisers with him. I do admire your ethics in not having posed as a conservative in your Fox News show. In fact I actually have scrutinized your interviews and would be hard-put to point out any unfairness on your part. Having said the above; I feel certain that your email basket is loaded on a daily basis and it is nearly impossible to even browse the...

January 27, 2012 Inside Newt's bus Greta takes a ride on Gingrich's bus in an inside look at his Florida campaign

Announced last night and again this morning. Greta will be riding on Newt's bus tonight. Watch her program tonight for the coverage. (Sarah must have called her ;~)

Allen West, in discussing what the Republican Party needs to do to get black voters into the Republican party, was asked which presidential candidate has the conservative principles to help turn the tide of high unemployment in the black community, and he was quick to point out that despite those on the left accusing Newt of race-baiting, he believes that Newt is the one who is diagnosing the problem well and is trying to open a dialogue with the black community by offering to speak before the NAACP.

Newt takes it to Romney. Also, talks about captalism, Bain, Establishment, Romney abortion,etc--- (See Video- 8 minutes)

We Stand for Principle Over Politicsand the Establishment Can't Stand It December 21, 2011 BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: "House Democrats tried Wednesday to force a vote on the Senate’s two-month extension of the payroll-tax cut, but Republicans gaveled the House closed to prevent them from having a chance, as top GOP leaders huddled down the hall to try to figure a way out of the mess. The House was set to hold a pro forma session, but two top Democrats, Reps. Steny H. Hoyer and Chris Van Hollen, demanded to be recognized to try to force a vote on the...

Gingrich Rising 'On the Record,' Pt. 1 Surging GOP frontrunner on Pelosi's threats, White House race polls, Obama's speech and more

Who in the list below is most likely to get endorsed by Governor Sarah Palin? Gov Mitt Romney Mr. Herman Cain Speaker Newt Gingrich Representative Michele Bachmann Governor Rick Perry

Donald Trump urges Herman Cain to "bring a major lawsuit against those two women if what they assert is false."

GRETA VAN SUSTEREN, FOX NEWS HOST: "The Rodney Dangerfield of Republican politics," not getting any respect from Republican Party establishment? Well, that's what Mr. Herman Cain has called himself. But his view must have changed this view and a lot of other people when the Florida straw poll voters showed Mr. Herman Cain respect, big-time respect! In the straw poll in Florida over the weekend, Mr. Herman Cain clobbered the GOP front-runners, Governor Rick Perry and former governor Mitt Romney. It wasn't even close!

Check this picture out that The Daily Caller is spreading around on the internet. Tucker must be really proud tonight of his employee who doesn’t get what was wrong with his vile and disgusting posting and so is now, but posting this picture, suggesting my interview with Tyson was like his posting – trash. My interview was not trash. I actually know the difference. I interviewed Mike Tyson about his life and boxing. Frankly, in many years on the air, I have interviewed all sorts of people including murderers – what I have not done is used them as a...

I really don’t understand my friend Tucker Carlson.  He owns the website The Daily Caller and it currently has on its front page the most vile story — referring to a sex act with Governor Sarah Palin as a “womb shifter.”  It is even the headline.  Do you know what that means?  Figure it out  It is really vile.  It is not just smut…this is violence against women. The “womb shifter” reference reported in the story is only the tip of the ice berg in terms of the vile nature of the posting.  I am sparing you the details.  To...

VAN SUSTEREN: All right. I take it from -- a little bit from your discussion -- I don't mean to read into it. You can speak for yourself, obviously -- but that you -- that you are -- that you're pleased with at least with the field tonight or with the way that they answered. Is that correct? PALIN: Yes, I was pleased. I was very happy with it. Let me go back to that issue with Governor Perry. I was governor of Alaska at the time that that issue came down, and I told our health and human services...

I saw the GOP debate and the Greta interview with Palin and Bachman. I am absolutely against Perry's mandate of the Gardasil vaccine. On policy grounds. Period. But, to see the two ladies pile on with corruption charges against Perry was truly disgusting. If they have any proof that Perry mandated the vaccine to profit Merck, I am the first one who wants it. And, if proof emerges that he did so, I will be the first one to revoke my support for him. It happens in the industry all the time. Acquaintances get you an audience. So, in this...

Herman Cain talks a bit about the debate, but then hammers Obama. Great interview.

Karl Rove responds to controversy over his speculation if Fmr. Gov. Sarah Palin will indeed enter the GOP field. Rove said chances are she will jump in, but was not definitive in his observation. "I mystified," Rove said about his speculation. "Look, she is all upset about this saying how I am trying to sabatouge her in some way. How do I speculate on her future." "Look, if she doesn't want to be speculated about a potential presidential candidate there is an easy way to end the speculation. Simply say 'I'm not running.' Instead, every time she pops up in...

I did some research for my interview with Karl Rove for tonight’s ON THE RECORD at 10pm and I was surprised at all the recent articles about Karl Rove and Governor Palin. Apparently the other day he made a statement about whether she would be running or not — or whether he thought she would run or something like that — and the media went wild. He doesn’t know if she is running – only she does (and probably her family.) Anyone who cover politics or is fascinated by politics or recognizes the importance of politics, wants to know who...

I just read a very bizarre blog post about entrenched incumbent Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch by Fox News anchor Greta van Susteren and then watched an equally distressing interview van Susteren conducted last night with Sarah Palin regarding Hatch. First, the title of van Susteren’s blog post: “Is someone trying to manipulate the UTAH Tea Party vote unfairly away from Senator Orrin Hatch?” Van Susteren absurdly suggests that dark, sinister, unnamed, and uninformed forces in Utah with outside backing are somehow trying to take away Hatch’s seat through nefarious means. She’s clearly talking about D.C.-based fiscal conservative groups like FreedomWorks...

Make sure you tune in tomorrow night, Thursday, for Governor Sarah Palin at 10pm eastern, ON THE RECORD.

VAN SUSTEREN: Well, you know, I think -- it will be interesting to see what happens. The Tea Party, I think, had an enormous victory, because they did change the discussion here in Washington. It's a little bit like trying to change the direction of an aircraft carrier. It's not easy. So they certainly, I mean, that's huge. And I'm sort of curious whether the American people will now sort of take a bow, those who are Tea Party activists, and go back to their lives, which are very busy and very full, and they're worried about their own lives,...

It seems everyone has something to say about the debt crisis / Boehner / President Obama. I was just emailed by an FNC colleague Gov Palin’s Facebook posting ..so here it is: —– Lame Duck President by Sarah Palin on Friday, July 22, 2011 at 7:11pm After listening to the President’s press conference today, let’s keep in mind the following: This is the same president who proposed an absurdly irresponsible budget that would increase our debt by trillions of dollars, and whose party failed to even put forward a budget in over 800 days! This is the same president who...

Jim DeMint at his calm persuasive rational best tonight with Greta On The Record. Cut, Cap and Balance would actually have a chance if all of the Republican Senators would get off their behinds and get behind a full-court PR offensive. The conservative Senators are taking the lead--Thune, Sessions, DeMint, Kyl, Cornyn, Rubio, Paul. Do something for your country John McCain! Where are you Scott Brown? Hell even Graham and Hatch are giving it a go.

Who has a better chance of winning the Republican nomination?

Family friend and fellow Fox News contributor Greta Van Susteren is the only journalist we've noticed that has much access of any kind to Sarah Palin's inner circle. And this morning Politico pointed to her surprising prediction on her blog: "First, I have absolutely no inside track (despite what some may think) but I am guessing Governor Sarah Palin is running for President in 2012." That seems like a pretty bold prediction for someone without any "inside track." But, despite Van Susteren's claim to the contrary, it does seem like she would be privy to the workings of a nascent...

First, I have absolutely no inside track (despite what some may think) but I am guessing Governor Sarah Palin is running for President in 2012. Basis for my guess ? First, she has never said no. In fact, she told me in an interview about 8 weeks ago, and this remark has been repeated by other journalists to her and by her, she has the “fire in her belly” interest in running. This is not a yes, and it is not a no but leans more in the yes direction. In that interview I tried to get a more definitive...

"I thought NBC this morning, in a program that had nobody on camera, nobody quoted by name, that quoted reporters talking anonymously about cowardly people, who, frankly, lied about my wife..."

Here’s the full uncut interview of Sarah Palin and Greta on the tour bus. There’s more here than they aired on TV. Loved her answer on Egypt and Pakistan dealing with Foreign aid Enjoy! Link to Video

Make sure you tune in tonight to ON THE RECORD at 10pm to hear our interview with Governor Sarah Palin. As you know, on ON THE RECORD at 10pm about 10 days ago, Governor Palin said that she had the “fire in her belly” to run for President. So….has that fire burned out? or, is it burning hotter? You can find out…

"Dear Mr. President, please allow our ally, PM Netanyahu, to respectfully arrive through the front door this time. Thanks, Concerned Americans"

What is is about Governor Sarah Palin and the media? Last night she was in DC to give a speech and thus could not attend the White House Correspondents Dinner. She DID go to two after parties to meet some people and catch up with her daughter Bristol who was in town for the dinner. But what is fascinating to watch is how the media (all of them!) just can't get enough of Governor Sarah Palin. They were all taking pictures of her with themselves for souvenirs and writing about her. She was prominent in the Washington Post coverage, Politico...

Last night, Governor Palin spoke at Heroic Media’s “Heroes Among Us” fundraiser dinner. As always, she defended the pro-life message and stressed the importance of having a culture that promotes the worth of all life–including the unborn. The Governor shared her own story and her daughter Bristol’s story, for they are examples of how to handle less than ideal circumstances. Being in attendance personally, I was able to witness again the respect that she receives by those who know that she not only talks the talk, but she has been walking this walk.

Twitter is going crazy with tweets and pics of Sarah Palin as a guest of Greta Van Susteren walking into the MSNBC White House correspondent Dinner After-Party. Andrea Mitchell tweeted that Rachel Maddow is bartending and serving Palin a diet coke and others are saying that the crowds at the MSNBC event are surrounding Sarah asking to have photos taken with her

And you thought this weekend was going to be all about Donald Trump! Probably only one other lightening-rod VIP could have stolen the mogul’s buzz in the pro-am zeitgeist tournament known as the White House Correspondents’ weekend, and darned if she didn’t pull a surprise appearance. You betcha, she did. Sarah Palin walked into the Georgetown home of Mark Ein shortly before noon Saturday to dazzle a brunch crowd of Washington insiders and visiting luminaries. Black bell-sleeved summer dress, shiny hair. She and a clean-shaven Todd Palin posed for a few photos with hosts Wendi Murdoch and Susan Axelrod, then...

Guess who came to brunch? The hockey mom herself, Sarah Palin, attended Tammy Haddad's annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner brunch on Saturday. The former vice presidential candidate was immediately enveloped by a large crowd on a patio after making her entrance with Fox News anchor Greta Van Susteren. Palin spent some time posing for pictures with both Dems and R's alike. About an hour later, she took off with Van Susteren.

VAN SUSTEREN: All right, you talk about out of office -- let me ask you about 2012, not about you specifically. I may get to that. I don't know. But in terms of (INAUDIBLE) I'm sure you've seen all the controversy surrounding Donald Trump. What do you think about Donald Trump? PALIN: I respect what he's doing in putting his money where his mouth is. He's actually investigating his speculation there on Obama's birth certificate and Obama's college records and all those things that Obama, though he promises to be a transparent official, he certainly isn't because he could certainly...

Governor Palin On The Record w Greta Van Susteren 10pm April 26th

Did anyone catch Greta Van Susteren b slapping that New Jersey Senator Rob Andrews? He started on some typical left wing nonsense trying to blame the Republicans for the waste and started trying to advance some "common sense idea" of his own. She jumped on him saying "if it was such a good idea than why didn't you Democrats do this over the past two years when you controlled all 3 branches of government." She didn't relent and was talking about how they "are driving her crazy..." It's definitely worth the watch. This was right after she had MY CONGRESSMAN...

When former Democratic National Committee chair/former Democratic presidential hopeful/yeller Howard Dean recently criticized Fox News as nothing more than “a very expensive, incredibly well-funded, right-wing propaganda organization,” it was only a matter of time before someone at the network responded. Today, On the Record anchor Greta Van Susteren did.Writing for her Fox News blog, Van Susteren asked, “What’s Up With Howard Dean?” and wondered why he seems to be devoting so much thought to her network:

In March, CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 was the #1 cable news program at 10 pm in the key demo adults 25-54, overtaking FNC’s On the Record with Greta Van Susteren for the first time in 26 months (January, 2009). For the month, AC 360 averaged 496k among adults 25-54, while FNC slipped into second place with 480k and MSNBC’s The Ed Show was a distant third with 266k. Compared to a year ago, the CNN 10 pm program had significant growth, increasing +153% in the key demo (496k vs. 196k) and +66% in total viewers (1.165m vs. 702k). During the...

On her blog, Greta Van Susteren comments that she noticed Mediaite’s article on Bill Maher’s recent controversial joke about Sarah Palin (Maher called her the “c-word”), and also gives our own Tommy Christopher a shout-out. Greta apparently has had enough of Maher’s remarks and doesn’t understand why other cable news channels continue promoting Maher? To be clear, Greta doesn’t advocate that Maher be silenced, since “he has the right to be a pig.” Yet she asks:

March 28, 2011 Donald the Birther? Donald Trump on why he's focused on questions Obama's birth certificate, wonders why the U.S. is involved in the mission in Libya and more

She’ll talk to Greta tonight at 10 PM EST to analyze what we already know will be another lackluster speech about Libya from the man who engaged in a land transaction with convicted felon Tony Rezko..
