By Lynn Sweet - Politics Daily

President and First Lady Michelle Obama exchanged gifts with British Prime Minister David Cameron and his pregnant wife, Samantha, who did not accompany her husband on his first visit to the White House as a prime minister.

'Single Ladies' Dancers and Miss USA: The Sizzle Over Sex

By Judy Howard Ellis - Politics Daily

Even though booty-shaking is a national pastime, much like McDonald's, SUVs and politicians with mistresses, we often struggle with our indulgences.

Women's Vote Will Likely Decide British Elections

By Delia Lloyd - Politics Daily

Many things are still uncertain as we move toward the British general elections later this spring. But here's one thing everyone agrees on: This election will be decided by women. Signs of women's strategic importance are everywhere you look. Both candidates for prime minister have assiduously courted the "Internet vote" by reaching out to the well-educated, middle-class stay-at-home moms who populate popular sites like Mumsnet. (There's even a new tag to identify these voters -- "cybermums" -- which bears resemblance to America's "soccer moms" of campaigns past.) ...
