2012 Presidential Race

When it was announced that Republican Paul Ryan would be running as Mitt Romney's sidekick for vice president, the world noticed a few things. One, the guy's name is two first names and that is just plain ridiculous. Two, this dude is in shape, and, three, his surname shares a first name with American superstar and internet sensation Ryan Gosling. Oh Ryan, how do we love thee? Let us meme the ways

Each time we get closer to a presidential election, it seems the political landscape gets weirder and weirder. Now, thanks to comedian Roseanne Bar entering the race, the trend remains consistent.

In April, Ebony magazine published a handwritten note from Beyonce to Michelle Obama in which the singer expressed her admiration for the First Lady. In the letter, Beyonce praises Michelle as "the ULTIMATE example of a truly strong African American woman...

If Mitt Romney were to be elected president, his five sons would equal the total offspring of the last three Presidents combined. (Although he would be nowhere close to being the President with the most kids -- 10th prez John Tyler had a whooping 15!)

Earlier this week, Amber Lee Ettinger, who rocketed to notoriety in 2008 as the bikini-clad 'Obama Girl,' seemed to un-endorse the man she once had a "crush" on. But while the President may have lost his Obama Girl, he's gained an Obama Boy.

It seemed simple enough: a free app in which Mitt Romney supporters could take a photo and then send it out to Facebook or Twitter with one of 14 Romney campaign approved slogan like "I'm a Mom For Mitt" superimposed on it. The app launched yesterday, to coincide with Romney officially capturing the GOP nomination by winning the primary in Texas. Everything would have been great except t

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Newark Mayor Corey Booker are legends in their own right. However, when the two get together, their natural competitive instincts kick in and they become bitter rivals that can make Seinfeld and Newman look like the Olsen Twins.

As the 2012 presidential race continues to heat up, voters are paying close attention to all the candidates (we're hoping), even how they react to Mother's Day. To celebrate moms everywhere (and in an effort to snag your future votes), President Barack Obama and presidential candidate Mitt Romney both released video tributes to honor the most important women in their lives.

GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney came off as something of a, shall we say, "stiff." Even his most passionate supporters would admit this much. But Romney's campaign thinks they have a secret weapon in making their guy seem less like a robot. His loving, and completely human-like, wife Ann. However, in a clip that Jimmy Kimmel uncovered, it seems Ann's influence may loosen Mitt up a

Newt Gingrich announced earlier this week that he would be suspending his campaign for President. It wasn't exactly big news, since Newt had about as much of a chance of winning the GOP primary as he did being the first pick in the upcoming NFL draft. But it was a big deal to the folks over at 'Conan,' because they've gotten a lot of mileage out of Andy Richter's impression of the rotund former Sp

BadLipReading, the website that puts words into prominent politicians' mouths, has been quiet for a while after having fun with Presidential candidates like Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann. But now they are back with perhaps their most difficult subject yet -- Joe Biden.

Turns out no one was spared on this year's April Fool's Day. Not even our presidential candidates.

Last week, Mitt Romney's campaign adviser, Eric Fehrnstrom, likened his candidate's plan to retool and change message once he secured the GOP nomination to the classic toy the Etch-A-Sketch. "You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again," Fehrnstrom said during the now notorious CNN interview. While changing courses for a general election is pretty standard practice, it's not

If only presidential campaign videos all looked and sounded this cool. YouTube user Hugh Atkin's latest upload has racked up tens of thousands of views in just a matter of days. Why? Because if you take Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" and replace the original lyrics with Mitt Romney quotes, and make it rhyme perfectly, you get the internet to "please stand up" and pay attention.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum went to Puerto Rico last week to gin up support for the GOP primary which took place on the island territory over the weekend. He probably would've been better off staying stateside, as he ended up getting crushed by GOP rival  Mitt Romney 83 to 8% in the contest. Even the former Pennsylvania Senator's attempt to do a little sunbathing turned against
