As a result, many if not most of Obamacare’s insurance exchanges — the heart of the beast — will have to be set up and run by the Obama administration at the federal level. States are not required to set up Obamacare exchanges, but it seems to have surprised observers that many are choosing [...] New details of Mitt Romney’s postmortem explanation for why he lost the election are emerging with the release of audio recordings from a conference call with his donors, in which he said President Obama won by giving away ‘free stuff’ to women and minorities. ‘It’s a proven political strategy, which is give a bunch of money to a group and, guess what, they’ll vote for you,’ he said, according to audio [...] Alabama, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana declare state of emergency as storm approaches Winds topping 100mph expected to hit Florida Keys Eight people killed in flooding in Haiti; 10-year-old girl killed there when storm caused a wall to fall on her Republican convention in Tampa postponed on Monday and Tuesday

Starting this fall, thousands of poor and middle-class kids will get vouchers covering the full cost of tuition at more than 120 private schools across Louisiana, including small, Bible-based church [...] Neil Carpenter took a pay cut when he accepted a job as a Louisiana state accountant more than 12 years ago, but he figured he would make up for the loss with a retirement check that would guarantee long-term financial security for him and his family.
