John Fleming

There's a case for an Obama apology, but not over drones

Keep the pedal to the metal

Martin O'Malley

Rate is higher than average, but not in the top 10

Martin O'Malley

True for 2010, but why stop counting there?

"When it comes to being effective at creating jobs … (Chris Christie has not had) a record of governing for effectiveness. ... Last year, New Jersey created no net new jobs."
