I watch a report about the "lame duck" Congress. Lame duck is when retired or congresspeople who didn't get re-elected come to vote one last time. The report is apart of the Fast Fix Show is a particular section of the Washington Post that focuses on the federal government. The reporter Chris Cillizza talks about the current lame duck session in which they are voting to decide if to keep Bush's tax cuts in effect. This show also stated the people likely to run for president in 2012 which are: Sen. John Thune, Governor Haley Barbour, Governor Tim Pawlonty, Sarah Palin, and Mitt Romney. Each of these candidates are very popular some more than the next which make the next election that much more interesting.
I found this information by going to Yahoo and looking through the news that was posted. This RSS feed is very common. It can also be subscribed to which defeats all of the time looking to find new information. The hyperlink is
