Stories to Watch: 9/17/11

Man, does it ever feel like fall today. Now here's the news...


A horrific crash at a Reno, NV air race kills 3 and injures 50. That death toll is expected to rise, as some of the wounded probably won't recover.


Although his approvals continue to slip, people like President Obama's jobs plan.


Michael Gerson brings up a good point; even if you don't like Rick Perry or the way he ran Texas's program, HPV vaccinations are almost inarguably a good thing.


And, while we're on the subject of Perry; he likes to put himself across as a straight-talker, but the fact is that he's a windsock.


Despite GOP talking points, extending unemployment benefits does not turn people into lazy hobos.


Rick Perry leads Mitt Romney in polling for the GOP nomination. Grain of salt alert: ""For comparison, at a similar stage in the campaign in 2007, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani was the leading choice of Republican primary voters (at 34%), followed by former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson (23%)." So, yeah.


Finally, John Boehner gets a primary challenge from a Tea Party/religious right nutjob. Thankfully, David Lewis probably doesn't stand a chance in hell. I don't like Boehner at all, but I like the idea of trading bad for worse even less.
