The Wall Street Journal reports:

Mitt Romney handily won the Nevada caucuses Saturday, capping a pivotal week that saw him regain his front-runner status on the strength of a hard-fought win in Florida.

With 41% of the precincts counted, the former Massachusetts governor was the top pick of 42% of Republican caucus-goers, with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich a distant second with 26.5% of the vote and Texas Rep. Ron Paul in third at 18%.

Turmoil in the Energy Markets from Shale Gas

Professor Mark Perry has this amazing quote from the Washington Post:

"Cheap natural gas has also thrown energy markets into turmoil. It is impossible for almost any other source of electric power to compete, especially coal and nuclear. By trimming fuel bills, cheap gas has reduced incentives for energy conservation and efficiency. And it has left solar and wind, despite their own falling costs, heavily dependent on government mandates in California and roughly 30 other states, including Maryland."

As you can see, the "green movement" can't let free-market capitalism work.

She's a statist academic who's an activist member of the Democrat party. Professor Theda Skocpol takes to the pages of the Washington Post to warn America that Mitt Romney is a "stealth Tea Party candidate":

Romney has become the stealth tea party candidate, endorsing the essence of the movement while remaining unburdened by its public label. This makes him the ideal tea party candidate for the general-election battle against President Obama.

That's right, Mitt Romney of Blue Massachusetts is secretly some fan of Mises and Hayek! The Washington Post really should identify a partisan person who works at an institution as more than the :

Victor S. Thomas professor of government and sociology at Harvard University

After all, Professor Skocpol works at Harvard, one of Obama's biggest donors. Those upper class Harvard professors sure are "non-partisan".
