Last week was the Republican National Convention but there was more to the event than hearing Mitt Romney and hunky Mr. Schue VP nom Paul Ryan speak.

We’ve been rocking the vote ever since Madonna wrapped herself in a flag back in 1990, but music has evolved -- Material Girl to Madge to MDNA -- and that’s why it’s time to SPIN THE VOTE!

Ron Paul has pulled the plug on his primary effort but that doesn't mean he's ghost. His Revolution delegation, which he hopes will be the second largest behind frontrunner Mitt Romney, plans to make LOTS of noise at the Republican National Convention. GOP dramz is gonna go down! Guess who else always makes a statement -- fashion or otherwise -- when they show up at a big event?! Weezy F baby!

Adrian Grenier is a busy dude, y’all. When he’s not spreading the smart media gospel with screenings of his Sundance doc Teenage Paparazzo for overexposed high school and college students, he’s stomping sustainable grapes, launching a canned craft beer, creating his own app, running an online eco-platform, drumming for The Honey Brothers, and switching local co-ops. (Yes, let’s pause to soak up the OMG-I’m-so-lazy feeling as we click on each of those links.) Oh yeah, he’s also got this side career where he acts and stuff.

Is it game over for Ron Paul in the Republican Presidential primary? Who knows with all the GOP dramz, but Daniel Williams -- a 27-year-old self-proclaimed “college stopout" (take that, Kanye!) and “Ron Pauler” from Houston-- sure believes his candidate has plenty of lives left. That’s why he’s creating a video game called “Ron Paul: The Road to REVOLution” starring the former Texas Congressman as a Mario-like warrior on a mission to take his libertarian platform to the next level -- like 50+ levels!

The search for "America's Next Top Republican" has moved even further south to steamy Florida and the Presidential primary heat is really on! In honor of the intense election action going down (this is the first to have three different winners at each primary so far), we decided to host one of our own -- but we flipped the script and dug into the state’s hip-hop heritage for an off-da-chain Florida rapper race!

Yesterday 95,669 showed up for Mitt Romney as he won nearly 40% of the vote in the first-in-the-nation primary.

Here's what you need to know from the New Hampshire primary:

It's been real, Iowa. If the 2012 candidates aren't all already gone from Iowa and onto New Hampshire or South Carolina, the next states to hold presidential primaries, they will be by the time you read this.
