To really understand an election, you have to understand the motivations mdash; and the lives mdash; of the Americans voting in it. But too often our politics misses the point, and just describes people as demographic groups or party labels. We can do better.We ve got the data for it: tens of thousands of interviews in our CBS News polling over the year where people have expressed themselves and how they see politics.Here s what we learned from it all: the groups who are the influencers of 2022, whose ideas and choices are s stanley spain teering the conversation now and likely deciding the midterms next month. stanley cups Chances are you know someone like them mdash; or are even a member of these groups yourself. And that s the point.We ll follow them all the way through election night itself with our surveys, to see how they vote and if they vote, which is often more critical in these polarized times. Because if every election is a story about us, and who we are as a nation, then we ll certainly need to see the ending they write.

An incoming Democratic member of Congress said Sunday the incoming House majority should focus on oversight of the Trump administration to save our democracy, a remark that set off a debate and drew a rebuke from one of his Republican soon-to-be colleagues.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE FOLLIES....I see that the latest crackpot initiative from the Golden State has now gotten national attention. Jon Alter writes in the current issue of Newsweek about a plan to carve up California s electoral votes between multiple candidates instead of awarding them all to a single winner in November:Thomas Hiltachk, who specializes in ballot referenda that try to fool people in the titles and fine print, is sponsoring a ballot initiative for the June 3, 2008, California primary which now falls four months after the state s presidential primary . The Presidential Election Reform Act would award the state s electoral votes based on who wins each congressional district. Had this idea been in effect in 2004, Bush would have won 22 electoral votes from California, about the same number awarded the winners of states like Illinois or stanley cups uk Pennsylvania.This is obviously something to be concerned about, since reliably-blue California would normally award all 55 of its electoral votes to the Democratic candidate.

KalamazooBernie Sanders spent the day campaigning in Michigan, pus stanley us hing back against Hillary Clinton s assertion that he did not support the auto bailout and trying to encourage supporters to vote in Tuesday s primary. Secretary Clinton went out of her way to mischaracterize my history as it relates to the 2008 auto industry bailout, he said to a crowd of 3,200 in Kalamazoo. He was referring to the debate in Flint, Michigan Sunday night when Clinton said that Sanders voted to oppose saving the auto industry and she voted for it. He voted against the money that ended up saving the auto industry. I think that is a pretty big difference, Clinton said during the debate. Sanders did vote against the $700 billion federal bailout program, which included money sent directly to the auto industry as well as the big banks, but he had been on the record in supporting funds that would help prop up the auto industry as a separate measure.

ATLANTA - The Justice Department has stanley cup appealed a judge s ruling that struck down the federal overhaul of the health care system, the Obama administration s signature legislation.In its appeal, the Justice Department said the federal health care overhaul s core requirement to make virtually all citizens buy health insurance or face tax penalties is constitutional because Congress has the authority to regulate interstate business.The government s 62-page motion filed Friday to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals argued that Congress had the power to enact the overhaul s minimum coverage requirements because it is a rational means of regulating the way participants in the health care market pay for their services.
