THE BIG STORY, BY CYNTHIA TUCKER
It is fashionable among reporters and ostensibly non-partisan observers to parcel out blame for this depressing state of affairs equally among Democrats and Republicans, but that's simply not accurate. Most of the blame for the current state of affairs in the Senate -- as you've figured out if you've been watching the Republican primary campaign -- belongs with a GOP that has become increasingly obstreperous even as it becomes increasingly unmoored from reality.

ELECTION 2012
2012 was looking like a rough year for Senate Democrats until as recently as a few days ago. But Maine Republican incumbent Olympia Snowe's decision to retire, coupled with the announcement by former Nebraska Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey that he'll seak the open seat in that state, upended the partisan math.

FEATURED COLUMN: DAVID CAY JOHNSTON
With President Obama and leaders in both parties favoring lower corporate tax rates, Washington seems poised to enact change next year. They need only resolve details like how much the rates should be cut, which tax avoidance strategies should be barred, and whether to give manufacturers a discounted rate.

CULTURE WARS
The Rush Limbaugh Show is aired by Premiere Networks, a massively profitable syndication network which is owned by Clear Channel Communications.

Clear Channel Communications is owned by Bain Capital.

So perhaps Romney's persistent silence is owed to the fact that Limbaugh's offensive comments made him quite a bit of money for Bain -- until now, at least. READ MORE
