Christopher S. Brownwell, American Thinker: Setbacks in recent elections have left some self-proclaimed conservatives announcing the era of Reagan is over. David Frum thinks conservatives need to be less aggressive and move to the center to win. David Brooks suggests that Louisiana governor Bobby Jindal’s conservatism is stale.

Burnt Offerings
CNN: Jindal described the premise of the question — “Do you want the president to fail?†— as the “latest gotcha game†being perpetrated by Democrats against Republicans. “Make no mistake: Anything other than an immediate and compliant, ‘Why no sir, I don’t want the president to fail,’ is treated as some sort of act of treason, civil disobedience or political obstructionism,†Jindal said at a political fundraiser attended by

“Obama Years Ago Helped Fund Carbon Program He Is Now Pushing Through Congress”
Good Man? From Fox News: In 2000 and 2001, while Barack Obama served as a board member for a Chicago-based charitable foundation, he helped to fund a pioneering carbon trading exchange that is likely to fill a critical role in the controversial cap-and-trade carbon reduction scheme that President Obama is now trying to push rapidly through Congress.
