True, more Republicans are planning to retire from Congress than Democrats—for now. But conservative Democrats who voted for Obamacare look pale for some reason. Maybe they’re sweating the fact that in Rasmussen Reports’ exit polls from last week’s election, 56 percent of voters said that health care was the most important factor in their decisions, and 51 percent opposed the Democrats’ plan—in Massachusetts...
...instance, unlike elected, Wall Street--tied conservatives, media conservatives could full-throatedly embrace, and be embraced by, the conservative-libertarian tea-party phenomenon, which Fox News has practically owned. This should worry the officeholding GOP: a December Rasmussen poll found that if the Tea Party were an actual party, it would win more votes for Congress than Republicans would. Fox News and the tea parties may now be hotter political brands than...
...Perhaps Crist's biggest asset is money. The conservative groundswell for Rubio has netted his campaign a surprising $1 million; Crist, however, has $5 million, which could begin raining down on his opponent early next year.

But Crist ads will question that assertion - as well as Rubio's record on matters like immigration reform and cap-and-trade policies to limit...

Harvard was unable to capitalize on power plays, despite Minnesota senior Kelli Blankenship getting boxed for cross-checking at 4:59 into the third period. 70 seconds later, teammate Terra Rasmussen was called for hooking to give the Crimson a five-three advantage for 50 seconds. But the three Minnesota skaters packed in around the goal and prevented Harvard from penetrating, actually managing to take away the puck to set up a scoring opportunity of their own. Kessler made the save, falling to the ice in the process. A whistle was blown, and the senior recovered quickly...
