The stronger Hillary is, the weaker she is. The more she seems like a likely presidential winner, the more difficult the senate race becomes in New York. It's perfect.

Much of the DOE green energy lending program is a scam. It is a slush fund of pork for paying back campaign contributors.

Any Democrat who squirms on the tax-cut issue in the primaries has no chance ' zero ' to win the nomination. Each will have to take the “pledge” to oppose the Bush tax cuts.

With a congressional mandate to run the deficit up as high as need be, there is no reason to raise taxes now and risk aggravating the depression.

And, when the economy is restored, he will raise taxes with impunity, since the only people who will have to pay them would be rich Republicans.
