CBS News The president of Shell Oil said Friday that removing the tax subsidies and tax breaks received by oil and gas companies - which recorded some of the largest profits last year - is unfair because of the size of the companies. Instead, Marvin Odum said the government should be focused on broader tax reform. If you look at the unit pro stanley mug fitability, if you will - how much we make on a unit or a dollar of revenue - it s actually lower than the average of manufacturing across this country, Odum said on CBS This Morning. So I think while I don t mind the attention on energy because it s such an important topic, I think the discussion around taxes and taking tax breaks away is the wrong discussion. The U.S. Senate yesterday voted 51-47 against a bill that would have ended $4 billion in taxpayer subsidies of major oil and gas companies.

Mostly I ve seen attempts to signal that they won t do anything too offensive to the party s right wing. Very few of these trial balloons seem to be ideas that McCain had expressed much previous loyalty to. I don t even think we should be analyzing these statements as policy proposals. We should be wondering why the Republican Party has given up on the idea of policy proposals.Well, look, not to get too cynical and echo-chambery here, but isn t the answer pretty obvious At this point, Republicans just don t have many policies to offer that people like. Healthcare The GOP basically wants to make it less secure.

Washington mdash; The Supreme Court s landmark decision rejecting affirmative action in higher education prompted sharp dissents from two members of the court s liberal wing, Justices Sonia botella stanley Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.In the highly anticipated stanley cup ruling, the court s conservative majority invalidated the race-conscious admissions programs at H stanley taza arvard College, the nation s oldest private school, and the University of North Carolina, the oldest public school, finding they were unconstitutional.The court s rejection of affirmative action in college admissions is likely to reshape how higher education institutions across the country consider applicants, as colleges and universities can no longer use race as a factor in their admissions decisions.

While Joe Biden continues to lead all Democratic candidates across early states in the presidential nominating process, his previously large advantage has shrunk since June, according to the latest estimates from the CBS News Battlegro stanley taza und Tracker poll and delegate model.While poll percentages in each state often attract attention, the race for the Democratic presidential nomination is ultimately a fight for delegates at the party s national convention next July. The party is set to seat 3,768 delegates at the convention in Milwaukee, and a candidate needs to win at least 1,885 delega stanley cups tes to win the nomination.We estimate that Biden currently has 581 delegates in the nominating contests through Super Tuesday, which is considerably fewer than his estimate last month.

Delegates are given out proportionally to top finishers in each district and statewide. Meanwhile, Elizabeth W stanley cup arren s estimate has improved to 430 delegates, significantly reducing the gap between her and Biden.

Getty Images AMES, Iowa - To understand the Iowa straw poll, which takes place on the campus of Iowa State University here on Saturday, you first have to understand stanley cup that the event is, well, something of a fraud.The straw poll is taken very seriously by the media and the Republican establishment: It s seen as a sign of which Republican candidate is connecting with Iowa voters, and thus which candidate has the best chance to win the crucial Iowa caucuses - the first in-the-nation contest that, in turn, is seen as a marker of who will win their party s nomination. Yet the straw poll game is rigged: Candidates pay the $30 entry fee for their supporters to attend, bus them in for the event, and stanley mugs offer them free food and entertainment. In other words, votes are bought, so they don t necessarily tell us much. In the 2008 cycle, for example, Mitt Romney spent lavishly to buy a straw poll win, then went on to lose the caucuses to the under-funded Mike Huckabee. It s worth noting that, although the candidates give speeches at the straw poll Saturday afternoon, no one really expects them to make a difference - which is why voting begins before the speeches do. The Iowa Republican Party - for which the straw poll doubles as a lucrative fundraiser - will tell you that the caucuses matter because they demonstrate which campaign can best mob stanley us ilize its supporters.
