Mitt Romney Not Sorry for 'Romneycare,' but Will It Kill a White House Bid?
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsToday, likely GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney defended the universal health care law he implemented as governor of Massachusetts, saying there's a clear difference between his plan and President Barack Obama's reform effort. Romney has been in the hot seat during the health care debate because key elements of his plan are reflected in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. "Romneycare" includes an individual coverage mandate, for example, the provision that prompted Judge Roger Vinson to declare Obama's plan unconstitutional. According to Romney, "states have rights that the ...

Geithner says this expiration will not hurt the struggling economy. Republicans beg to differ. Their respective arguments for and against, plus some handicapping of the ...
Jews and Sarah Palin: Who's Got the Problem?
By David Corn - Politics DailyIs it a sin for a Jew to hate Sarah Palin? Jennifer Rubin, a contributing editor for Commentary, sort of argues that in a piece for the magazine. The article, titled "Why Jews Hate Palin," has set off a spat in literary circles, with Jonathan Chait, a writer for The New Republic, penning an acerbic response headlined "Jews Who Hate The Jews Who Hate Palin." Rubin starts her piece with a clichéd observation: Palin is a "national Rorschach test." Conservative admirers see her as the embodiment of good ol' American common sense and common-folk independence. Liberal (and, yes, conservative) ...
