• Constitutionality of health overhaul questioned
  On top of all the other obstacles facing President Obama in his quest to pass health reform is this one: Does the U.S. Constitution allow the government to require uninsured Americans to buy medical insurance or impose a tax penalty if they refuse?

• Conservative in N.Y. race claims he’s at ‘heart’ of GOP
  Doug Hoffman says he’s fighting for the “heart and soul of the Republican Party” by running as a Conservative Party candidate, so don’t call him a spoiler.
