Ron Hubbard’s “Battlefield Earth.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The former Massachusetts governor told Fox News his favorite book was the Bible but his favorite novel was the science fiction tome “Battlefield Earth.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;“Actually, the one by L. Ron Hubbard,” Romney said when asked to name his favorite novel. “I’m not in favor of his religion by any means, but he wrote a book called ‘Battlefield Earth’ that was a very fun science fiction book.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Mark Twain novel “Huckleberry Finn” tops the book list on Romney’s My Space page. “Battlefield Earth” isn’t on the list. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said: “Battlefield Earth is pretty good science fiction. It’s about Earth being ruled by an alien race, sort of the way the Democrats are running Congress.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Read More: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.religionnewsblog.com/18149/mitt-romney-3"&gt;http://www.religionnewsblog.com/18149/mitt-romney-3&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Two polls, two different results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/14/575746.aspx#575761</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:36:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:575761</guid><dc:creator>PACKER BACKER</dc:creator><description>PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Two polls, two different results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/14/575746.aspx#575803</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:54:05 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:575803</guid><dc:creator>Nashville_fan</dc:creator><description>I think it is interesting that Senator Obama's willingness to compromise is framed as a weakness in this piece when it is his wllingness to compromise that is the ONLY HOPE to get ANYTHING DONE in Washington. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;How is all of the bone headed stubborness of the Bush Adminstration working for us?

Senate, but I have to say, I think we need people who will stick to their convictions. &amp;nbsp;The fact that he voted &amp;quot;Present&amp;quot; 130 times in the Ill. Senate shows me that he trianglelates more than Hillary ever did. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;He was against the Patriot act before he voted for it? &amp;nbsp;Does he ever stick to his convictions, or will he just cave because he is voting for the popular thing. &amp;nbsp;Hillary has never wavered on her Iraq vote. &amp;nbsp;I didn't like her vote, but she didn't apologize for it because it was the popular thing to do.(Edwards) This will only help her if she gets the nomination. &amp;nbsp;Hillary showed leadership last week when she introduced her economic stimulus package. &amp;nbsp;Obama showed he was a follower by introducing one this week. &amp;nbsp;In the last two debates, Hillary was the only one who has been mentioning the economy and the coming recession. &amp;nbsp;As a matter fact, she has beeen the only candidate, Democrat or Republican, to recognize the economy and now everyone is trying to jump on the economy wagon. &amp;nbsp;About six months ago, Hillary was the first one in congress to go to the administration and asked them for relief for the victims of predatory lending. &amp;nbsp;She broght up a plan to help the people with foreclosures, A few days later, Bush comes out and says he is going to help the people who might lose their homes. &amp;nbsp;Of course he didn't do what she wanted, but she lit a fire under the administration. &amp;nbsp;I didn't see Obama or anyone else in the Senate do it. &amp;nbsp;Hillary has been ahead of the curve and has been planning for the future, while others just get up and claim they are ready to make change. &amp;nbsp;</description></item><item><title>Oh-eight (D): Two polls, two different results</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/01/14/575746.aspx#575911</link><pubDate>Mon, 14 Jan 2008 15:27:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:575911</guid><dc:creator>Thaddeus M.
