Security video shows struggle between RFK son, nurses – USATODAY.com : ""It is sickening to think that our simple desire to take our son outside for fresh air has been warped into a charge of child endangerment," they said. "The nurse had no right to attempt to grab our child out of his father's arms." The couple said they hoped Westchester District Attorney Janet DiFiore would conclude that she had made "a grave error in making a crime out of a father protecting his baby." An emergency room doctor at the hospital who was accompanying Kennedy when the altercation happened said in a statement that the nurses were "the only aggressors." "Then and now I felt that Douglas would not be putting his healthy child at risk or danger by taking him for a quick walk outside," said Dr. Timonthy Haydock, who said he has been a friend of the Kennedys for decades. "To charge Mr. Kennedy with a crime is simply incomprehensible to me."...

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. - Ron Paul on Saturday laughed off remarks made by fellow GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum earlier in the day speculating that Paul and Mitt Romney have a backroom running mate deal going. "I don't know what all that meant," Paul chuckled backstage of a rally he held here at Central Michigan University. "No, we've never had a conversation, anything like that ... but he's a family person, I've known him for five years, so it is a little bit different. But I don't agree with [him on] hardly anything, probably." Santorum has openly speculated that Paul and Romney are working together. He vented his frustration at multiple events on Saturday that "in 20 debates, Ron Paul never attacked Mitt Romney." During last week's debate in Arizona, Santorum said, "I felt like messages were being slipped behind my chair." Paul admitted to reporters that he's never "volunteered" an attack on Romne...
