Governor Can Do a Better Job Protecting Taxpayers from Obamacare than Picking Winning Candidates
Harrisburg - Americans for Prosperity-Pennsylvania, the state's largest grassroots conservative organization, is calling on Governor Tom Corbett to focus on helping taxpayers by taking a stand against Obamacare state-implemented exchanges.
"Yesterday's election shows the Governor's efforts would be best spent helping taxpayers and not endorsing candidates," said Pennsylvania State Director Jennifer Stefano. "Tom Corbett was not elected governor to tell people how to vote. He was elected to lead."
Thoughts on the Supreme Court hearing on Obamacare...
Kai Ryssdal: It's not unreasonable to call political Washington a circus, even on its calmest of days, but come Monday, when the Supreme Court's hearings on the health care law start -- look out.
Three days of oral argument, which means three days of the Court's famous steps being crowded with activists, lawyers, journalists and tourists. Marketplace's Nancy Marshall Genzer has more.

Nancy Marshall-Genzer: In some cities, football is king, or people go batty over baseball. Here in Washington, the hottest ticket in town gets you into...a courtroom.
Ian Millhiser: There's certainly a nerd factor here.
