Sarah Palin Hits New Low in Poll
By Steve Pendlebury - AOL News(Feb. 11) -- Just when she starts to hear warm words from some unlikely quarters, a new survey reveals cold, hard statistics about the public's view of Sarah Palin. After days of jokes about her palm reading at the Tea Party convention last Saturday, no less than Washington Post columnist David Broder -- who's been called the dean of the Washington press corps -- praised her "pitch-perfect populism." Broder said in an op-ed today that he's impressed by "a politician who knows who she is and how to sell herself, even with notes on her palm." Also today, Time magazine's Joe Klein -- who ...
Obama Says Lack of Transparency on Health Reform Was a 'Mistake'
By David Sessions - Politics DailyIn an interview with ABC's Diane Sawyer on Monday, President Obama said he regretted not making Congress' drafting of the health care reform bills more accessible to the public.

"We had to make so many decisions quickly in a very difficult set of circumstances that after a while, we started worrying more ...

By Emily Miller - Politics DailyMarc Mezvinsky, 31, will marry Chelsea Clinton, 29, the daughter of former President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the summer of 2010. In this wedding, certain to be one of the social events of the season, the bride is more famous than the groom.
