On RCP's Election 2010 page, Kyle Trygstad writes about a new Gallup poll that reveals that the number of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats has declined over the past two years.

RCM Editor John Tamny, writing on Forbes.com, argues that the emergence of non-traditional lenders such as Sam's Club proves that the bank bailouts were unnecessary. Bill Frezza writes that the American experiment is "tottering on the brink." Alfred Tella writes about the difference between "payroll" and "household" employment data.

Finally, on RCS, Jeff Neuman argues that baseball should let steroid-era players into the Hall of Fame.
