  5. McManus: Let's talk GOP and fantasy politics

    Almost four years ago, long before the 2012 presidential campaign heated up, CNN took a poll to learn who Republicans might choose as their party's next nominee.

  12. A filibustered judicial nominee withdraws

    New York lawyer Caitlin Halligan, who was first nominated to the federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., almost 2 1/2 years ago, has asked President Obama to withdraw her nomination. As The Times noted in an <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/editorials/la-ed-judge-20130322,0,7123988.story">editorial</a> today, Halligan was the victim of a Republican filibuster in which all but one of the GOP senators voting refused to cut off debate on her nomination. Had the nomination proceeded to a floor vote, she almost certainly would have been confirmed.
