Washington Post - Miami Dolphins fans want Peyton Manning as their quarterback and they’re willing to stop traffic to get their point across.

Take a look at Manningtomiami.com and see what it's about.

ESPN - Yes, Manning should be the next superstar player to land in Miami. The Colts are expected to release Manning before his $28 million bonus is due in March. Indianapolis holds the No. 1 overall pick, which will kick off the Andrew Luck era while simultaneously ending the Manning era.
It's obvious how great a player Peyton Manning is after seeing how terrible the Colts did in 2011-2012 season without him.













Ron Paul May Be Mitt Romney's VP or Will He?

Mitt Romney may be looking to have Ron Paul as his VP but don't count on it. It appears Mitt Romney may be trying this just to win over some of Ron Paul's supporters. The Establishment will never let him become VP, the only way for him to get in office is for him to get voted in.
From infowars.com Former Ron Paul staffer Lew Rockwell says that talk of an alliance between Mitt Romney and Ron Paul is an “establishment trick” to smear Paul by making him appear as a sell out. Read the entire article here

Ron Paul and Mitt Romney answer questions during a Republican Debate


Lew Rockwell who is a former Ron Paul staffer talking about Mitt Romney said "Just because he looks good in a suit doesn’t mean that he’s not one of the top creeps, otherwise he wouldn’t be supported by the Republican establishment and by the establishment in general, so no we don’t want anything to do with him except to oppose him"

The Washington Post says The two teamed up Wednesday night to blast former senator Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) at the GOP presidential debate in Mesa, Ariz. And now, Paul’s national campaign chairman, Jesse Benton, confirms that the decision last week by the two campaigns to skip a March 1 CNN debate in Georgia was a closely-coordinated one.

Jessie Benton said this about Ron Paul and Mitt Romney missing the Georgia Debate. ”A lot of it just comes down to scheduling. Both of our campaigns, for example, had places, specific places we wanted our candidates to be on March 1st, and they weren’t in Georgia. Other states that were priorities for us. And so we talked it out and we said, ‘Hey, let’s present a united front and make sure our candidates can get where they need to be rather than being at the 22nd or 23rd debate in Georgia.’ That’s how we cooperate.”

So now the story continues, where it will go we'll just have to wait and see.
