					<description><![CDATA[Michael Scherer in a recent Salon article puts it right out there: Amid all the fury and fireworks, she must convince Democratic voters in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Carolina and the nation that she is worth all the trouble, all the backbiting, the claims and counterclaims that she cannot control. That&#8217;s exactly the question [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Writes Jacques Berlinerblau: &#8220;The 2008 presidential election is probably the first in American history that has spawned a veritable faith and politics industry.&#8221; We haven&#8217;t had one for a while?? I can see the complex part though. Ralph Reed has to have some trippy hang ups. But industry? It&#8217;s a far cry from the Model [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s fantasy football for nerds. Welcome to Fantasy Congress, where politics is the spectator sport you love to hate (or is it hate to love?). Pick your team and get points as your team&#8217;s legislation winds its way through Congress. Want in? I&#8217;ve got a league going. Leave a comment below and I&#8217;ll send you [&#8230;]]]></description>

We need to give people a full and [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At a couple of key points in the past, America has seen the collapse of a major political party, and it could happen again.
