 The Detroit News "Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood offered a strategy to address a "distraction  epidemic." He outlined steps to pass more laws, address technology and crack  down on texting."

The Washington Post "Instead, the night provided a huge boost for Walker — as well as Republicans in Washington and state capitals who have embraced the same energetic, austere brand of fiscal conservatism as a solution for recession and debt. In a state known for a strong progressive tradition, Walker defended his policies against the full force of the labor movement and the modern left."

Wall Street Journal "Syrian activists said progovernment forces killed hundreds of people in two attacks, and United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says U.N. monitors were shot at trying to get to the scene."
