Virginia's candidates for governor clashed over transportation, the economy and equal rights for women and gays in their first televised debate Monday night, an exchange in which Democrat Creigh Deeds accused Republican Bob McDonnell of lying about his record and policy positions.
Trailing in the polls, Deeds reacted aggressively when McDonnell painted him as a tax-raiser and attempted to link the Democrat with federal labor and pollution-control measures moving through Congress. McDonnell lit the spark on the debate's first question, saying Deeds supports $1 billion in new taxes for transportation.

WATERLOO, Iowa - Republican Michele Bachmann officially launched her White House bid on Monday, casting herself as a hard-charging conservative capable of carrying the party into the 2012 election over a crowded field of GOP rivals so far treading lightly around the tea party favorite.
On a sun-splashed morning in the yard of an historic mansion in Waterloo, the three-term Minnesota congresswoman insisted the nation can't afford another four years of President Obama and railed against debt, joblessness and the president's sweeping health-care law. She argued that she has the appeal to capture the GOP nod and oust the Democratic president.

When Evo Morales, former coca grower and leader of the coca-growers' union, was elected president of Bolivia in 2005, many observers of Bolivian politics anticipated that Bolivia would rapidly cease cooperation with the United States in the "War on Drugs." Such a change, however, has not been apparent. What explains Bolivia's continued cooperation? I argue here that US-Bolivian trade policy, which enables the US to use trade preferences as a carrot to promote Bolivian drug policy, may best explain this apparently anomalous behavior, suggesting that trade may be an effective tool in promoting non-economic foreign policy goals.

Putin's remarks indicate that general expressions of benign intent are not sufficient, and he seems prepared to become increasingly disruptive in order to command the sustained attention that the United States has been refusing to give.\n The Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) provides a good indication of opinion stability because it is one of the few nuclear issues where roughly comparable questions have been asked over an extended period of time. When asked in 2004 about presidential candidates' positions on a wide range of foreign policy issues, Bush supporters and uncommitted voters tended to attribute policy positions that they favored to Bush but that were at odds with his stated positions and track record over the previous four years.11 All this means that if future U.S. and ...

Conservatives, are you angry that one big factor in whether President Barack Obama is re-elected has nothing to do with his policy positions or leadership skills? That this factor, instead, is whether he can raise $1 billion (with a b) to conduct his campaign? Are you frustrated that in 2008 he broke the record with $745 million?
Yes, Republicans, do you resent the fact that, when a Washington governor negotiates contracts with state-worker unions, she or he could be sitting across the table from some of the largest campaign contributors, and that theres no one representing you and other taxpayers at that table?

In the nearly two years since Governor Christie took office, he has placed some of the leading advocates for restructuring the state's system of care for the developmentally disabled into key administrative and policy positions.
He named Dawn Apgar, former head of the Developmental Disabilities Planning Institute at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, as his acting director of the Division of Developmental Disabilities. Even before joining state government, Apgar was an outspoken supporter of the state's long-stalled plan to shift resources into community programs for the disabled.
