 Morning Briefing For March 19, 2013
1. In Response to RedState, Mitch McConnell Doubles Down on Surrender Mitch McConnell wants to clear the air based on my earlier RedState post. In the post, quoting Yahoo!

In response to yesterday morning's post, Mitch McConnell's press team sent out an email blast with the transcript of the speech.

A Media Trackers investigation has revealed and PPRM has confirmed that while individual PPRM doctors and nurses are certified at the state level, the clinics themselves only meet federal level standards and regulation dating back to the 1980s. . . . please click here for the rest of the post → 5. 250 clergymen can be wrong In the latest effort to make Jindal feel really bad about his tax swap proposal, 250 clergymen sent a letter to his office. . . . please click here for the rest of the post →
