Five things Joe Biden shouldn’t say at AIPAC.

No joke here: more New Yorkers prefer Eliot Spitzer over David Paterson. I wonder if Paterson would beat Blago.

Some smart Democrats don’t think much of the most frequently mentioned Supreme Court pick.

Mitt Romney is putting forth conservative ideas on healthcare — some of what he tried in Massachusetts, but also a batch of John McCain’s ideas (e.g. tax credits and ending “discrimination” in tax treatment between employer-provided plans and individually purchased ones.)

Steve Calabresi nails it: “The goal of the health care plan under discussion is to force us all on to one government health care plan so the government can ration health care. If someone over the age of 65 needs an expensive procedure, they will be out of luck. Bureaucrats in Washington will decide what operations, medical procedures, and prescribed medicines you can buy instead of you and your doctor making those decisions.” Read the whole thing, as they say.

Obama finally met an industry he wouldn’t bailout: the newspaper biz. Talk about taking your most fervent supporters for granted. Sheesh.

Congress isn’t about to encourage — or fund — the Obama release-from-Guantanamo-and-put-them-on-the-public-dole policy. Michael Goldfarb thinks Obama is blaming the Bush administration to distract from his own lack of policy initiatives on the war on terror.

Sen. Tom Harkin owns up to reality — the votes aren’t there for card check.

A Senate hearing on the “future of journalism” is going to include Arianna Huffington, David Simon (The Wire, Baltimore Sun), Marissa Mayer (Google), Albert Ibarguen (Knight Foundation), Steve Coll (New America Foundation), and James Moroney (Dallas Morning News). Hmm. What’s missing? Ah, any conservative outlet and/or  print newspaper with a steady or increasing readership.

As for the future of education reform: “President Obama and his Education Secretary have repeatedly promised to support “what works,” regardless of ideology. The teachers unions adamantly oppose school vouchers, whether or not they work. Ergo, Messrs. Obama and Duncan decide to end a D.C. school voucher program that works and force poor kids back into schools where Messrs. Obama and Duncan would never send their own children. What a disgrace.”
