In his latest presidential campaign ad, Texas Rep. Ron Paul (R) positions himself as the only candidate who can stand up to the “Washington machine.”

In a year when every candidate wants to be an outsider, it might not be a bad strategy.

EARLIER ON THE FIX:
2012 redistricting update: Republicans and Democrats fighting to a draw in battle for new seats
The contenders and the pretenders of the Republican race
Mitt Romney: Unstoppable in New Hampshire?
WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:
* Jon Huntsman’s three daughters (who run a group Twitter feed) have cut a parody video of the “smoking” Herman Cain ad, complete with fake mustaches. No, they don’t smoke. “We are shamelessly promoting our dad like no other candidate’s family ever has,” they say in the video, so there’s probably more like this coming.
* Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is no stranger to the flip-flopper charge, and yesterday he gave his critics more ammunition. “We don't know what's causing climate change,” he told a Pittsburgh crowd yesterday; in June he said he believed humans contributed to climate change. Romney has steadily moved away from his past support for curbing emissions.
* Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) is wading — or jogging — into the upcoming special election for the seat vacated by ex-Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.). The congressman is reairing his 1996 “Running” ad, needling Republican candidate Rob Cornilles for putting out a very similar spot. Cornilles is the frontrunner in the Nov. 8 primary.
* Gary Johnson paid extra to file in New Hampshire, nearly missing his chance to not win the first-in-the-nation primary. Having missed the deadline to file by proxy, the candidate was forced to jump on a plane to the Granite State and submit his paperwork in person.
WHAT YOU SHOULDN’T MISS:
* Romney picked up a former Perry supporter today — New Hampshire Republican state Rep. Norman Major. He also won the support of social conservative activist Maureen Mooney, who went to Austin to talk to Perry but never actually endorsed him.
* Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) is courting a new hire in South Carolina — Republican consultant Wesley Donehue. Donehue, whose firm has done work for Sen. Jim DeMint (R) agreed to help the campaign through the weekend and then see what happens from there.
* In New Hampshire today, Texas Gov. Rick Perry joked about skipping debates but did not say what he was planning to do. “I don't know whether or not we're gonna forego any debates or not," he told reporters. “Shoot, I'm gonna be a good debater before it's all over with.”
* Another poll — this one from the University of Akron’s Bliss Institute — shows Ohio’s anti-collective bargaining law in trouble. Less than two weeks before a vote on a referendum to repeal the law, registered voters support repeal 37 to 25 percent. Voters favor Issue 3, which would block health-care mandates, 34 percent to 18 percent. Unlike a recent Quinnipiac poll, this one asked about the actual ballot measures rather than describing the policies, which helps explain why so many more respondents are undecided.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:
* Ed Rollins, former campaign manager to Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), told MSNBC today that Bachmann doesn't have the “ability or the resources” to compete beyond Iowa “at this point in time.” Rollins quit Bachmann’s campaign last month, citing health reasons. He remains an informal adviser to the candidate; he also has a longstanding reputation for speaking his mind.
* Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Connie Schultz resigned from The Plain Dealer in Cleveland on Monday, saying it was “painfully clear” that she could not continue to write for the paper while it covered the reelection campaign of her husband, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D). Schultz took a leave of absence from the paper the first time her husband ran for Senate, in 2006. She apologized earlier this month for not mentioning state Treasurer Josh Mandel (R) — who is running against her husband — in a column about a tea party event.
* Rep. Danny Davis (D-Ill.) is endorsing Raja Krishnamoorthi in the Democratic primary for Illinois’ 8th district. Krishnamoorthi, a former Obama adviser, will face ex-administration official Tammy Duckworth in the primary for the seat currently held by Rep. Joe Walsh (R); remapping will make this district more Democratic.

Obama has a people problem, not a Jewish problem

What Rick Perry learned from Donald Trump
WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:
* Former Homeland Security Secretary Tom Ridge endorsed Jon Huntsman today in Manchester, New Hampshire — one of the first major endorsements for the longshot 2012 contender. Ridge said the former Utah governor and ambassador to China was “the only candidate with demonstrated success at the state, national and international levels.”
* A new Quinnipiac poll finds former WWE executive Linda McMahon “slow off the mat” — she would be pummeled by any of the Democratic contenders in the 2012 Connecticut Senate race. On the other hand, she beats ex-Rep. Chris Shays handily in the primary, even though he fares far better in head-to-heads with Democrats.
* House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) is wading into a local Virginia race, endorsing independent candidate Bill Janis for Henrico County commonwealth attorney. The Republican candidate, Matthew Geary, is crying foul, saying GOP endorsements for Janis violate party rules.
