The Cherry Creek News: "As the nation marks the 33rd anniversary of the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade that established abortion rights across America, a slight majority believes abortion should be always be available, or should be available without government financing, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.

"The survey shows that 52% favor abortion, including 10% who saying they believe it should be available, but that the government should not pay for it.

"Forty-three percent oppose abortion, though most of those believe there should be exceptions in the cases of rape, incest, or when the pregnancy posed a grave threat to the life of the mother. A total of 9% said they 'always oppose' abortion.

"Among women, 50% said they favored abortion in all cases, while another 8% said they favor it but do not want the government to pay for it. Thirty-eight percent of women said they opposed abortion outright, or with certain exceptions. Among men, 59% said they oppose abortion completely or with certain exceptions, while 35% said they favor it always. Another 12% said they favor it but do not want the government to pay for it."

Oval Office 2008: "The New York Daily News suggests that the speech marked a return for Hillary to her old liberal form, and a setback in her efforts to cast herself as a centrist in time for 2008."

The Denver Post editorial staff is arguing that energy policy should be the top issue for 2008 [January 25, 2006, "Energy should be key issue for 2008"]. They write, "He may have ruffled a few feathers in Tehran and Caracas, but U.S. Sen. John McCain has hit upon what should be the key issue of the 2008 presidential campaign: American energy dependence. Addressing the subject goes in and out of fashion in the United States, but the problem seems to deepen every day. About 75 percent of the world's oil is controlled by distant governments, some unfriendly like Iran, others unpredictable like Venezuela. Russia, a growing producer, has been behaving erratically. The central Asian republics are in transition, and uncertainties even plague reliable suppliers: This week, Kuwait narrowly averted a crisis when the ailing emir stepped aside for his cousin. Saudi Arabia is often beset by political intrigue. Iraq? Where do we begin?"
