Chuckles the sock puppet, William A Jacobson, Legal Insurrection [1]:
Barack Obama held a question-and-answer meeting with Democratic Senators yesterday to field questions about where the administration is heading on various initiatives.

The Obama Touch, from Don Surber [2], via Jim Hoft, Gateway Pundit [3]:
If you want a prism into why Democrats are struggling so much right now, this may sum it up: only 11% of voters across the country say that their economic situation has improved over the last year compared to 42% who think it has become worse. 47% say it’s about the same as it was.

Drunk Congressmen in peril, Steven Peoples, Providence Journa [4]l:
PROVIDENCE — John Loughlin is not named in the poll, but he may have fared far better than the elected officials who were.
Nearly 6 in 10 registered voters in the First Congressional District would consider another candidate or vote to replace Loughlin’s opponent, U.S. Rep. Patrick J. Kennedy, according to a WPRI-TV, Channel 12 survey released Thursday night.
Out.
