  <description><![CDATA[  The future of the Republican Party will be shaped by a governor—but it's not likely to be Sarah Palin. The twin poles of the Republican Party were on display this week. One was at a Republican Governors Association meeting in Texas. The other was on the airwaves across the country as Palin methodically went rogue.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2235918/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <title>Does it matter that Obama is behind schedule on most of his major plans?</title>

  <description><![CDATA[  As a professor of constitutional law, Barack Obama gave his students eight hours to complete his exam—even though the exam was designed, he wrote in the instructions, "to be completed in three hours." Now that he's president, Obama could use that kind of cushion. Upon taking office, the president promised that the prison at Guantanamo Bay would close in a year. He now says it will not. He demanded that Congress pass a health care bill by August. It still hasn't. The president's promise to sign a health care bill this year has now been pushed into 2010. Obama was also going to announce his new Afghanistan strategy in early November. It may now come as much as a month later. There are also delays—some, of course, beyond his control—in seating judicial nominations and passing climate-change legislation.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2236039/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  When Sarah Palin's 413-page autobiography, Going Rogue: An American Life, hit stands Tuesday, readers discovered the governor's most mavericky move yet: The book lacks an index. So Slate has compiled its own. Just print out this index, paste it into the back of your copy, and start skipping around! (And, yes, the page numbers are real.)<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2235917/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  Sarah Palin has always enjoyed complaining about the "media filter." But that was before she met Oprah Winfrey.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2235775/?from=rss">more ...</a>]<!--AD BEGIN--><br clear="all" /><a href="http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=6245" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/slate.rss/politics;pos=ad9;tile=9;ad=rss;sz=479x40;ord=6245" border="0" vspace="5" /></a><!--AD END-->  ]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[  When it comes to any issue that involves Islam, President Obama starts with an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that he's seen as sympathetic to Muslims. The disadvantage is also that he's seen as sympathetic to Muslims.<br /><br />[<a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2235476/?from=rss">more ...</a>]  ]]></description>
