This is our first-ever weekly video show featuring writers from Politics Daily's Woman UP blog. Today, Patricia Murphy, Ria Misra, Emily Miller, Bonnie Erbe and I discuss a recent Gallup Poll that suggests many Americans have been unhappily surprised to glean that Barack Obama is a... liberal. (Did they sleep through last year's election?)
In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
