		<description><![CDATA[Rick Perry is in the process of dismantling Mitt Romney. He&#8217;s sucked the air out of the race, and made it very hard for anyone else to get traction. Bachmann&#8217;s initial mo has stalled, Huntsman is finding it hard to get any purchase at all, and Palin would find it very hard to dislodge Perry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Don&#8217;t ask why, but I just relistened to Dolly Parton&#8217;s song, &#8220;9 to 5&#8243; for the first time in many years. Even though it was written thirty years ago, it&#8217;s an anthem for the times we&#8217;re living in. It reminded me that the harsh recession (and maybe depression) we&#8217;re in isn&#8217;t just about economic statistics, [...]]]></description>

He made a few stumbles, he announced a sweeping healthcare initiative and he got nowhere. There are many reasons for his failure. The sheer newness of the administration, presentation issues, and this &#8211; he got very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Obama is all about popularity. But he forgets that popularity is least important after you&#8217;ve just won an election. He went out of his way to court the GOP on his stimulus bill, and despite an awful lot of bipartisan BS, not one voted knuckle-dragger for it. For a President apparently more politically savvy than [...]]]></description>

Just to take one example, the appointment of Tom Daschle as Health and Human Services Secretary is a clear sign that Healthcare reform is front and center. Daschle is a [...]]]></description>
