Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina said Tuesday the best way to encourage job growth is to provide tax breaks for companies that agree to build facilities in the United States.

Fiorina, who oversaw Hewlett-Packard Co. from 1999 to 2005, has been criticized for laying off thousands of workers during her tenure and shipping some of those jobs overseas.

Fiorina would give companies a 10-year tax break when they return manufacturing plants and other facilities to the U.S. and a five-year tax break for startups and expansions.

"Instead of trying to punish people for outsourcing, we should reward people for insourcing. That's the fundamental aspect of my economic plan," said Fiorina, who met with reporters between fundraising events in Washington.

Too simple for Barbara Boxer

Politico: “THE DNC today opens an “iReport” for politics — a website that a party official says will be ‘devoted to citizens uploading content from political events, including audio and video — a central resource to hold Republicans accountable for misleading claims, lies, and unseemly behavior … We can’t afford to depend on the media or campaign trackers to be present and capture every extreme position taken, … so this site … will increase the number of people out there who with nothing more than a smart phone at hand can hold Republicans accountable.’”

Good idea, fellows. You never know when you’ll see something like this:

Good luck with that DNC.

I’ve had $100,000 burning in my pocket for the last three months and I’d really like to spend it on a worthy cause. So how about this: in the interests of journalistic transparency, and to offer the American public a unique insight in the workings of the Democrat-Media Complex, I’m offering $100,000 for the full “JournoList” archive, source fully protected. Now there’s an offer somebody can’t refuse.

Who will be the first to sell out?

Former Washington Post blogger Dave Weigel has joined MSNBC as a paid contributor, the cable network announced Monday night.

“Countdown,” host Keith Olbermann made the announcement on his show, introducing Weigel as "an MSNBC contributor…. Welcome Dave," he said."And you thought last week was fun, wait until you see what this week holds for you.”

At the conclusion of the interview focused on a tea party candidate in Alabama, Olbermann again highlighted Weigel as an “MSNBC contributor."

“Good luck with this,” Olbermann said.

Finally, a home for David Weigel with Keith Olbermann.

Some conservative/libertarian eh?
