The Real Lesson of the Midterms? It's the Economy (Again), Stupid
By Paul Wachter - AOL NewsANALYSIS (Nov. 4) -- "It's the economy, stupid." The phrase, popularized by James Carville, helped propel Bill Clinton to the White House, defeating George H.W. Bush in 1992. Above all else -- and Bush presided over the end of the Cold War and a painless Persian Gulf War -- the economy is the barometer for the country's political tides. That was evident again Tuesday with the Republican landslide, which saw the GOP retake the House, pick up seats in the Senate and perform even more impressively in various state government contests. All the other factors -- the rise of the tea party, health ...

Torture Probe, Health Care, the Economy: For Obama, Hostility From All Sides
By Bob Franken - Politics DailyIt's a bit simplistic, but generally true, for reporters to say that if we have antagonized people on both sides of an issue we're reporting on, we are probably doing our job well. Perhaps Barack Obama embraces the same belief about "presidenting." ...

According to a fascinating article in Time magazine piecing together the final days of the administration, the vice president pushed so hard against an unwilling Bush to pardon former Cheney staffer Libby that their relationship was strained to the breaking point. ...

Pelosi Was Cool With Waterboarding...
By Dave - Politics Daily...when waterboarding was cool. Well either that, or she just wasn't paying attention, as Pete Hoekstra implies here: I think reasonable people can argue whether waterboarding is torture. It creates pain and unpleasantness, and the Wikipedia article is worth reading, but even more so the discussion. All in all it's not something I would like us doing, but if the alternative were if lives were at stake in another 9/11 style attack as Dick Cheney asserts, and all other options were fruitless, I personally would sign the go-ahead, and so I won't second guess the decision then. But since it is ...
