CNBC's Cramer: Blame Congress for Obama's Diminishing Popularity
Karl Rove, David Axelrod - look out. CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer has the political climate figured out.

A Billion Here, A Billion There: Dem-Backed Firms Get Speculative Ener
The headline and the first paragraph from this Friday Wall Street Journal report by Josh Mitchell and Stephen Power reads like a bad joke Jay Leno's writers would have discarded, because no one would believe it. The second paragraph isn't much better:Gore-Backed Car Firm Gets Large U.S. Loan A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government…
WaPo Continues to Downplay Negative Developments for Va. Dem Governor

Tanenhaus Sees Conservative 'Rigor Mortis' Despite Protests, Floats Co
Left-wing PBS omnipresence Bill Moyers, host of "Bill Moyers Journal," interviewed New York Times editor Sam Tanenhaus about his new book "The Death of Conservatism," which Times Watch found intellectually dishonest, unnecessarily hostile, and already dated.

Premature 'Death' -- A Review of 'The Death of Conservatism' by NYT's
The title of Sam Tanenhaus's slim new essay of a book, with the wishful-thinking title "The Death of Conservatism," is misleading. Tanenhaus, the editor of the New York Times Book Review and Week in Review sections, doesn't so much call the movement dead as try to define it out of existence. "Death" reshapes the U.S. political landscape out of all recognition to make it hospitable to Tanenhaus's…
Down Steeply Since Late Jan., Big 3 Evening Newscasts Stuck at Low Sum

AP's Fouhy, In Analysis of 2010 Congressional Landscape, Calls GOP Bas
In a Sunday "uh-oh" review of 2010's electoral landscape as it applies to nationwide congressional races, the Associated Press's Beth Fouhy insulted GOP voters while effectively implying that they are the only ones who oppose ObamaCare, "reckless spending, and high debt." The foundation of Fouhy's piece is a fear that Democrats may be in peril of losing their House majority in 2010. Funny, when…
