    Opinion: History Says Mitt's the Man for 2012 Michael Medved Contributor AOL News (Nov. 29) -- Conventional wisdom says the battle for the GOP nomination in 2012 is wide open and unpredictable, but Republican history suggests that there is an obvious front runner who is nearly certain to represent his party in the presidential race. For nearly 70 years -- long before most of the current contenders were even born -- GOP leaders and primary voters have displayed a shockingly consistent tendency to pick a candidate whose previous national campaign, whether successful or not, suggested it was "his turn."

"There are some talks under way to have an exchange, if it is possible," he said. "Recently they (the U.S.) have sent messages, we answered to bring them (the Iranians), to bring these people (the hikers). We are hopeful that all prisoners will be released."

    TALLAHASSEE, Mar 27, 2008 Tax dollars could be funneled to Florida religious schools and a controversial private school voucher program be revived under a proposal the state's powerful tax reform commission is sending to the November ballot.

State voters on Nov. 4 will be asked to remove that prohibition and replace it with this language: "Individuals or entities may not be barred from...
