The bias of "Naked Politics" is showing again.
The Miami Herald's political blog picked up a clip from a Fox News interview with Gov. Rick Scott and headlined the item: "Gov. Scott draws parallel between Occupy protests and tea party."

Still, other questions remain: Why do high achievers fail? And what can be done to prevent attrition?
