GOP Launches Online Poll: Which Federal Programs Should End?
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyWith polls showing Americans deeply anxious about federal deficits and frustrated with increased federal spending, House Republicans have launched a website for people to vote to cut spending for one of five federal programs.

Got Leaders? Conservatives Should Look Outside Washington
By Matt Lewis - Politics DailyThis probably goes without saying, but it is becoming more and more clear that conservatives can quit waiting for (in the words of Bruce Springsteen) "a savior to rise from these streets." ...

In fact, we probably don't even know the name of our next great leader, because he's probably running for congress -- or more likely governor -- right now.
