Like most journalist, in addition to writing each day I spend an inordinate amount of time reading op-ed’s and news articles. This morning I ran across two that sum up the election on different fronts.

The first one is by noted Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer. He offers a concise look at what Obama wants to do in the areas of healthcare, education and energy in a second term. I wish every undecided voter would read it (assuming there are any undecided voters out there).

You can read Krauthammer’s article here.

The second column is by Penny Nance who is the CEO of Concerned Women for America. Penny addresses the sensitive issue of rape and abortion. Two U.S. Senate candidates, Missouri’s Todd Akin and Indiana’s Richard Mourdock have found themselves in lukewarm water when they utter the words “rape” or “abortion” in front of a liberal press. And for the record, neither men are advocates of either.

Here is Penny’s article that was published Friday in The Christian Post.
