Come here for America in all its glory - my take on the twist and turns of the presidency, electoral races and life beyond Washington

Israel's foreign minister is in Washington. There's a lot to talk about.
Politicians and diplomats can be surprisingly coy about asking direct questions, even in private. So, "are you going to plunge us into a war in an election year?" may remain unspoken.

The Republican rodeo and we - camp followers from the media - have trekked from the snowy mountains of New Hampshire to the beaches of Florida, from the smallest of small towns on Iowa's flat plains to the refined elegance of Charleston in South Carolina.
But the view from early February, after the result from Nevada, looks exactly like the outlook on New Year's day, when my travels began. In a sense, nothing has changed since last summer.

Newt Gingrich's face fills the screen, about as attractive and trustworthy as a police mugshot.
This is one of the adverts run by Mitt Romney's campaign. It questions Newt's record and integrity.

Lessons from Florida. Money matters. Negative works. http://t.co/uQHHz5TA

This victory proved some of the truths strategists prefer to speak behind closed doors, not on cable TV. Money matters. Negative works. Go for the kill.
The biggest losers in Florida were those who like their politics civil, reasonable, and with the emotion stripped out.

There's little doubt that Newt intends to take this all the way to super Tuesday in March. But is he just dragging out the defeat ?

"Newt Crushed". Well, perhaps. But the former speaker doesn't see himself as amphibian road kill.

Has America fallen out of love with the rich ? http://t.co/MAXXhb1S

The Florida island homes of the rich and often famous are a jumble of opulence, a tumble of styles ranging all the way from understated good taste to vulgarity that would make bling blush.
The water between Miami's wealthy financial district and the exuberant hedonism of South Beach is studded with a string of exclusive islets.

Polls indicate Mitt leads Newt in Florida not just over all but among conservatives and tea party. http://t.co/n5eWofmb
