  1. Republicans debate message, battle bad messengers

    ATLANTA (AP) — National Republican leaders made waves recently with a dim view of the party's future if it fails to expand its core support beyond white males and social conservatives. But weeks after GOP Chairman Reince Priebus unveiled the "Growth and Opportunity Project" report, many party players maintain that the problem often is more about flawed messengers saying the wrong things at the wrong times than the policy positions at issue.

  3. A new Commission on Political Reform tries to revive bipartisanship

    You know there's something wrong in Congress when something widely viewed as a worst-case scenario happens and yet there's no rush to try to change course. That's the case with the "sequester," the across-the-board reduction in spending that was meant to prod lawmakers to compromise on a smarter and more effective plan to improve the federal government's finances. Although Congress had more than a year and a half to avert it, the sequester went into effect March 1, drawing catcalls from Democrats and Republicans alike but no visible movement toward an alternative.

  5. No 'fiscal cliff' deal, but Democrats, GOP closer to compromise

    WASHINGTON --  Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill moved closer to a compromise to avert part of the so-called fiscal cliff, but theyremained unable to close a deal during an unusual Sunday session of negotiations punctuated by rounds of political finger-pointing.

  6. What to expect in 2013

    A year ago, we predicted President Barack Obama would edge Mitt Romney 48-47 with 286 electoral votes, plus we'd get a Democratic Senate and Republican House; the numbers were a bit off, but who's counting? So plunging past the fiscal cliff, let's...

  7. Free the CIA torture report

    Americans have known for years both the broad outlines and some of the disgusting details of the George W. Bush administration's policy of subjecting suspected terrorists to torture, humiliation and imprisonment at "black sites" in foreign countries. But they have been denied a comprehensive accounting of how the United States decided after the 9/11 attacks to travel to what then-Vice President Dick Cheney called "the dark side."

  9. Is anybody sad that Jim DeMint is leaving the Senate?

    In a profession like politics and in a town like the nation's capital, the phenomenon of a U.S. senator voluntarily surrendering his seat for a think-tank job would have been unthinkable some years ago.

  11. Bob Dole and the GOP's disability

    Much ink has been spilled in recent weeks criticizing the Republican Party and its failed presidential candidate for a lack of compassion and obvious antipathy toward "47 percent" of the electorate (if not a bit more), so it was reassuring to see two of its more prominent leaders offer a message of inclusion and uplift at a Jack Kemp Foundation dinner on Tuesday.
