    Rand Paul tries to bind N.H. GOP, libertarians

    With its "Live Free or Die" motto, New Hampshire would seem to be tailor-made for the libertarian-flavored presidential campaign that Sen. Rand Paul is taking for a trial run.

Ron Paul of Texas, learned in 2012, translating the typical New Hampshire voter's skepticism about big government into Republican primary votes is easier said than done.

    Senate hearings, even confirmation hearings, don't always live up to their billing (except in the movies).

  • LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Furlough shows Obama's true concerns

    During the 2012 presidential campaign, President Obama promised to protect the middle class from the Republicans.
