ANTHONY KENNEDY AND SOME OTHER PEOPLE TO HEAR HEALTH CARE CHALLENGE – Mike Sacks: “In an order released on Monday morning, the Supreme Court announced that it will hear more than five hours of oral argument in the challenges to the Affordable Care Act brought by 26 states and several private parties. The order indicates the gravity with which the justices view the health care cases, as the Court rarely allots more than an hour to for argument in each case it hears. Within those five-plus hours, the justices divided the time into four separate arguments to address the various questions raised in petitions from the Department of Justice, the 26 states and the National Federation of Independent Business. The longest argument, set for two hours, will consider whether Congress had the power under Article 1 of the Constitution to enact the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. Article 1 outlines the types of laws Congress may pass, such as those that regulate interstate commerce. The Justice Department has argued in the lower courts and in its petition to the Supreme Court that the health care law’s ‘individual mandate,’ which requires virtually all Americans to purchase health insurance or pay a penalty on their tax returns, falls within Congress’ power under the commerce clause of Article 1.” [HuffPost]
THE GINGRICH SPRING IS AT HAND – PPP: “Newt Gingrich has taken the lead in PPP’s national polling. He’s at 28% to 25% for Herman Cain and 18% for Mitt Romney. The rest of the Republican field is increasingly looking like a bunch of also rans: Rick Perry is at 6%, Michele Bachmann and Ron Paul at 5%, Jon Huntsman at 3%, and Gary Johnson and Rick Santorum each at 1%. Compared to a month ago Gingrich is up 13 points, while Cain has dropped by 5 points and Romney has gone down by 4. Although a fair amount of skepticism remains about the recent allegations against Cain there is no doubt they are taking a toll on his image- his net favorability is down 25 points over the last month from +51 (66/15) to only +26 (57/31). What is perhaps a little more surprising is that Romney’s favorability is at a 6 month low in our polling too with only 48% of voters seeing him favorably to 39% with a negative opinion.” [PPP]
@ppppolls: Why Newtmentum might continue- fav with Cain voters is 73/21, compared to 33/55 for Mitt, 32/53 for Perry.
Similar momentum in a CNN poll: “According to a CNN/ORC International Poll released Monday, 24% of Republicans and independents who lean towards the GOP say Romney is their most likely choice for their party’s presidential nominee with Gingrich at 22%. Romney’s two-point advantage is well within the survey’s sampling error.” [CNN]
HUNTSMAN CAMPAIGN REVERTS TO FAILED ‘I’M ACTUALLY A GOOD CANDIDATE’ STRATEGY – A new campaign video from team Huntsman resurrects the argument that the former Utah governor is the only viable conservative in the Republican field. In the ad, a number of VERY IN YOUR FACE Americans (really: their faces are right there) make the case for Huntsman but in a manner slightly more paranoid than you’re probably accustomed to. “Where’s that guy?” asks one tremendously concerned American/actress about a hypothetically viable conservative. Then Huntsman’s credentials are flashed over images of a poorly-lit parking lot, suggesting that “that guy” is Jon Huntsman, who is currently hiding in a garage somewhere, deepthroat-style. The real winner is the older gentleman who spews out some mind-bogglingly feartastic stuff: “The president’s failed. The economy’s worse…our government is flabby, bloated and weak…the world is literally collapsing and no one has shown up we can trust as a conservative” Ah!!! [Teh YouTubes]
Also, the people in Huntsman’s ad have never heard of Jon Huntsman. Heh.
@SenJohnMcCain: Very disappointed by statements at SC GOP debate supporting waterboarding. Waterboarding is torture.
Remember that video of the guy who proposed to his girlfriend in the middle of a basketball game and the girlfriend said “no”? Our reaction to this clip of Herman Cain being asked about Libya was shockingly similar to our reaction to the proposal rejection clip. Oops.
Hypocrisy alert! Herman Cain was against being dumb enough to not study up on these issues before he was for it.
NBC HIRES CHELSEA CLINTON, REPORTERS NOT HAPPY – Michael Calderone: “Chelsea Clinton may have officially joined the media on Monday, but several journalists who covered the 2008 election remain skeptical about the press-averse former First Daughter entering their ranks. ‘The supreme irony of Chelsea Clinton becoming an NBC reporter: I’m pretty sure she’s never granted an interview,’ tweeted The New York Times’ Jodi Kantor. The New York Times’ Amy Chozick, who covered the 2008 election for the Wall Street Journal, responded that not only did Clinton refuse to give interviews, but “seemed to absolutely hate us on [Clinton's campaign] plane.” In another tweet, Chozick wrote that Clinton “disdained reporters.” (Chozick, reached by phone, declined to elaborate.) Politico’s Ken Vogel tweeted that Clinton gave reporters the “total cold shoulder” during the previous election cycle. And Glenn Thrush echoed his Politico colleague’s experience on Twitter: ‘In ‘08, Chelsea Clinton (in NH) told me ‘Sorry, I don’t talk to the media.’ I said, ‘But you are all grown up now.’ Now she IS the media.’” [HuffPost]
