Washington Post:
Carly Fiorina emerges as the right’s new champion on abortion issues

Fact checkers say her Planned Parenthood comments in the recent Republican presidential debate were wrong, but they have strengthened the political outsider’s candidacy.
The Washington Post fact checkers who questioned her accurate statement that she started as a secretary and went on to become a CEO were laughably misleading in their own analysis of her career.  Their claims about her statements on the Planned Parenthood commerce in abortion by products were more nit picky than substantive.  The substance of her accusation about the use of using living fetuses to harvest the brains was correct whether the video showed the gory details or not.  The Fact Checkers are looking more and more like another vehicle for attacking Republicans they don't like.  They are the oens losing credibility in the process.

The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t
