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.

Is Palin Snubbing the New GOP Effort?
By Dave - Politics DailyThe Plum LineSources in the office of GOP Rep Eric Cantor, who's leading the new effort, tell me that Palin and her staff still have yet to respond to their invitation that she join their effort, which is called the National Council for a New America.No less a GOP luminary than John McCain confirmed last week that the group had reached out to Palin.

Fred Thompson/Sarah Palin Tag Team of GOP Chairpersons?
By Dave - Politics DailyMatt Lewis at Politico.com talks about the possibility of having both Fred Thompson and Sarah Palin at the top of the ticket.Yes, it's possible. Take a gander at the Rules of the Republican Party, specifically Subsection One of Section A of Rule No. 5.
