If a business practice is legal does that automatically make it ethical?

      Alexandra, this is the most unpredictable campaign on the GOP side we've seen in decades!

      actually, I think what Andrea Mitchell meant to say is, this is the worst field of candidates the Republican party has ever offered for the highest office in the land.

      I mean, Trump? Cain? Bachmann? It's been a circus.

      If Romney loses Florida, will the establishment look to Mitch or Jeb?

      In other words, who cares what the Tea PArty or evangelicals want, the wealthiest 1% of Republicans will call the shots.

          Obama gets more donations from Wall St. people than all the Repubs combined-check the Wall St.ers in his cabinet.

            Laguna, I guess you like talking out of the side of your neck. This time around Romney is getting most of the money from wallstreet. Two places to verify this, the Federal Elections Comission site and another non partsan site which disclosed the large amount of money Obama got from wallstreet in 2008. So far, these sites have always been nonpartisan.. Actually, 91% of Romney's money is bundled from big business, mostly wallstreet. Obama contributions are mostly from individual only 28% is bundled from businesses of many types and not concentrated from wallstreet. The FEC records are official and audited by the congressional watchdogs GAO.

              Pamela,

              Has the FEC finshed the 2008 audit on Obama's campaign?

                Very well said Amy B. Portland, ME! Progressive Power has been reading your posts, and finds your facts very accurate. The "Economic Evil" of "Romulian Romney" is only spewed in "Quiet Rooms." Why is that Amy?? The "Nutty Newt" tactics of blaming others for his past and present failures is a poltical joke. Look deeper intellectually of what really is going on with the "Gross Odd People" (GOP), and the "Really Not Competent"(GOP). Here are some questions to ask yourself Amy B. Also get Feisty to think about these following questions. Why will "Romulian" only produce his 2010, and 2011 Tax Returm? Who did the "Romulian's" taxes since the 1980's?? What would a "Bain Trained" Capitalistic Speculator do with taxes, trade, and financial regulations?? What would the "Romulian" do to Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, Food Stamps, and other Economic Safety Nets?? How will the "Romulian" deal with the terrible housing crises?? Will he go work for Freddie Mac as well?? If the money was enough? The "Romulian" would show up at Freddie Mac with rotten Tea Bags hanging around his pointed ears.

                Hi Andrea,

                I have a question about the Keystone Pipeline. Would the oil from that pipeline be sold in the United States and if not how will it effect the prices we pay for gasoline at the pumps?

                        As a former news reporter in New York City, I need to say, it sickens me to watch and listen to Andrea Mitchell's reports. She is perhaps the most bias, rude and unethical political reporter I have ever watched. Andrea why ? Why are you so bias ? I find it shameful that your news director lets you continue to do what you do every night. You Andrea should be ashamed of the way you spoke to Mitt Romney.

                          Andrea, I wish you and Chuck Todd would let the world into the misconception of Rubio representing the Hispanic. With your background in South Florida, you are aware that the Cuban community does not represent the Hispanic. One they are are refugees ( or were) and that mindset is very different; two: their negative memory of the Bay of Pigs makes them anti democra(actually anti Kennedy)

                          Cubans set them selves apart ( higher) than all other hispanics. The South Florida world for a hispanic is not replicated anywhere else in the country. Rubio when it is exposed represents the South Florida Hispanic but not the Hispanics of Texas, California, New york, etc

                          Is this too dangerous to talk about? With both of your backgrounds, you are acutely aware of this reality.
