It's been six months since voters handed Barack Obama the White House, and in the minds of a lot of Iowa activists that means only one thing: It's time to start the campaign again.

2012 already?

Yes, 2 1/2 years before Iowans gather for their first-in-the-nation precinct caucuses, early presidential campaigning has begun.

"We had a brief pause for two or three months when people went somewhere warm, and then it starts again," said Richard Schwarm, a Lake Mills lawyer and former state Republican Party chairman. "Most of the old war horses hear the bell and start responding again."

Potential Republican candidates who have visited the state include Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, who won the GOP caucuses in 2008. More politicians have trips planned, starting with Nevada Sen. John Ensign, followed by Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and another appearance by Huckabee.

The Vermont Legislature is considering a bill that would legalize so-called "sexting" between teenagers.

Sexting refers to the exchange of explicit photos and videos via mobile phone. Under current laws, participants can be charged with child pornography, but lawmakers are considering a bill to legalize the consensual exchange of graphic images between two people 13 to 18 years old. Passing along such images to others would remain a crime.

Supporters told The Burlington Free Press they don't want to condone the behavior but they don't think teenagers should be prosecuted as sex offenders for consensual conduct.

Should "sexting" be legalized for teens?

The Obama administration is calling for even greater oversight and regulation of pay at banks all over the nation -- including Wall Street firms and even some smaller companies. This comes amid public outrage from executive bonuses at companies such as AIG and Merril Lynch.

This oversight is expected to maintain the ebb and flow in the world financial markets and ensure that the natural rise and fall of stock prices is not amplified.

New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo just won a legal battle which will force Bank of America -- which recently bought Merrill Lynch -- to reveal the names of top Merrill Lynch employees who received bonuses; even as the brokerage firm was losing billions.

He vowed to do the same for American International Group (AIG) who just rewarded $165 billion in government bailout funds as bonuses to their top CEOs.

Embattled AIG CEO Edward M. Liddy pleaded with Congress on Wednesday to keep these names private as some AIG employees have received death threats over the last few days. But Cuomo says he's still going to get the names.

We want to know:

Should companies that received government money name executives who received bonuses?
