Every day we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day’s conversation inside and outside Washington.

Senior Editor of MarioWire.com Mario Solis-Marich:

- Knockout Bell: Arizona State Senate President Russell Pearce received his recall walking papers from the Grand Canyons States’ top election official, apparently his constituents don’t believe he represents their “values” and want him to focus on jobs…who would have thought?

- Warning Bell: Tim Pawlenty said this weekend that he would do for America’s economy, what he did for Minnesota’s. Ok, we can’t say we were not warned.

- Ding Dong Ditch: The President offers everything the GOP wants and they hide from the budget table, so the deficit is not the most important issue in the country?

RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:

- A Rutgers Economist named Susan Feinberg has a few glasses of wine and decides to cause a scene at a fancy Washington, D.C. restaurant when, horror of horrors, she sees Congressman Paul Ryan and two of his economist friends drinking a more expensive bottle of wine than she is. The left thinks the big story here is that Paul Ryan used his own money to drink fancy wine. It seems to me the big story is that Professor Feinberg hates it when people spend their own money and thinks it is perfectly acceptable to cause scenes in restaurants as a result.

- Deal or no deal? John Boehner and the President continue working toward some grand compromise, but more and more conservatives are growing nervous about any plan Boehner may come up with. They still remember the continuing resolution less than fondly.

- Sarah Palin tells Newsweek that if she runs, she will win. But she doesn’t say that she is running. She is still thinking about it. If Rick Perry gets in, he probably zaps the major enthusiasm levels for her and at what point do people start comparing her to Fred Thompson and his late entry in 2008?
