Reince Priebus took the lead from his Democratic counterpart, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who has vowed that during midterms, all her candidates will run on the health-care law, amid its series of problems.
Priebus will hold Democrats feet to the fire on their pledge to do just that in 2014. In a press conference at the Republican National Committee headquarters Tuesday, he invited those Democrats to make their case directly to their constituents.

Bad news for President Barack Obama.
A new CBS poll released Wednesday showed the president's job approval rating has plummeted to the lowest of his presidency, and Americans' approval of his signature health care plan has dropped to the lowest it's been since CBS News started polling on the law.
Thirty-seven percent now approve of the job Obama's doing as president, down from 46 percent in October. The president's disapproval rating is at a high of 57 percent.

Joe Scarborough is out with a new book again, lecturing conservatives on the best road forward. Here's the first sign it should be ignored (just like the previous ones): It will be reviewed by The New York Times, while Mark Levin's truly important, best-selling books are not.
It's the same formula for the Scarborough TV tour: an appearance next to Barbara Walters on ABC's "The View," spots on "CBS This Morning" and "Charlie Rose: The Week" on PBS. The liberal media really want Scarborough to tell Republicans what to do. And why not? Might that be because their recommendations are similar?
