Morning Fix: GOP leaders hesitate to embrace Palin

Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour's (R) repeated refusal to say that Sarah Palin is "qualified" to be president of the United States during an interview Thursday night with "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is illustrative of the problems the former Alaskan governor can -- and likely will -- cause the party.

Morning Fix: Stupak as Democratic anti-hero

Michigan Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak, the author of an amendment to the House health care bill that would ban federal funding from being used for abortions, has become a whipping boy of fellow Democrats on the campaign trail of late.

Morning Fix: The Palin index

Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" didn't come with an index -- a no-no in political Washington -- but thanks to the Post's Paul "PV" Volpe, we bring you an (abbreviated) index of the bold-faced names mentioned by the 2008 vice presidential nominee in her memoir. (We left out the much publicized comments on Katie Couric, Nicolle Wallace and Steve Schmidt since unless you aren't paying attention you already know about them. Bono/Beatty, Warren: "Interested folks with good intentions who wanted to share ideas and insights, and I was happy to hear from them."Clinton, Bill: Palin says she sensed in her meetings with Clinton "an unspoken mutual disappointment with the media's serial unfairness to some presidential candidates in the 2008 race." Clinton, Hillary: Palin says her "hat is off" to the former First Lady's performance on the campaign trail. Gibson, Charlie: Alaskans "seemed not to recognize" the ABC News anchor when he traveled to the Last Frontier to interview Palin. Hasselbeck, Elizabeth: Palin refers to the conservative voice on "The VIew" as "bold and talented". Lieberman, Joe: The Connecticut Senator is described as a "bright spot" in the campaign, telling her not to "let these people try to change you." Salter, Mark: "One of the few people who could change John's [McCain] mind." Warren, Rick: Palin spoke with (and prayed with) the renowned pastor over the phone while taking a shower. (Not kidding.) Wright, Rev. Jeremiah: Palin wanted to raise the issue of Obama's ties to Wright more often and more forcefully -- "I will forever question the campaign for prohibiting discussion of such associations."

Morning Fix: Obama's Ft. Hood moment

Key among the factors that make President Obama more personally popular than his policies are his considerable rhetorical gifts, which were on display in the remarks he delivered Tuesday at Fort Hood.
