When successfully receiving an API response
When processing a form or another HTTP request

What does Code 200 mean for the user?

The user receives content without errors, and the page or application functions properly. If Code 200 is accompanied by data, the browser or program processes and displays it to the user.

A <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/02/the_biggest_tax_cutter.php">nugget</a>.<br><br><blockquote>Don't know if anybody has yet noticed in the Republican Party but President Obama was presented last week a major talking point for 2012.<br><br>He'll sign today one of the largest tax cuts in history.<br><br>In spite of the White House pointing this out to journalists, it is funny how little remarked-upon this is.<br><br>It's hard imagine we won't hear about this  four years from now. And if that's not boxing a future Republican candidate in ahead of time, I don't know what is.</blockquote><br>Caveat: Republicans can just argue they wanted bigger cuts, right? Sure, except for this hitch. If the economy's recovered, Obama can argue he struck the perfect balance.<br><br>Remember Bob Dole's nominating speech in 1996? The "We can do better" theme? How'd that turn out for President Dole? When things are going well, it's tough selling "Things could be even better".<br><br>It's like snagging Katherine Heigl for a girlfriend, and then getting an offer from Megan Fox. Tempting, yeah, but ultimately you stick with Katherine Heigl.

If you're a fan of nuance, you'll like it. If you're Jim Cramer, we'll get to the BAM-BING-BOOM.<br><br>Essentially, Mitt Romney has always supported civil unions. Technically, he first supported "domestic partnership agreements" and opposed civil unions. But theoretically, domestic partnerships and civil unions are the same thing.<br><br>Once the Massachusetts Supreme Court legalized gay marriage, Romney supported a civil union arrangement, but (according to aides) only to initiate the anti-gay marriage campaign. A long legislative and legal process ensued, and then Mitt got the hell out of there, so he could rid himself of its Presidential implications.<br><br>See, even the Jim Cramer Version's not easy.<br><br>Ambinder <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/02/a_post_last_week_on.php">sums up</a> the politics of LGBT issues and the GOP nicely:<br><br><blockquote>In defense of Romney and others, though, the terrain on gay rights has been shifting so fast that most politicians in the middle have been caught out in the cold -- both moderate Republicans who find their "progressiveness" on gay issues is no longer so compelling to LGBT voters, and moderate Democrats who find themselves on the wrong side of a signal civil rights issue.<br><br>(To that end, Obama will be probably be the last Democratic presidential nominee to oppose same-sex marriage.)</blockquote>

The AP <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="https://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hBcK6_ry9tOBOZCPVyWf2JuLrKQQD96DG5DG1">wonders</a> if there will be political blood in Alaska, as the state prepares for an estimated $1.5 billion shortfall in June's fiscal year end.<br><br><blockquote>It's a long way from Palin's early tenure.... the hugely popular governor got the state to give $1,200 to most Alaskans in a one-time fuel relief payout that totaled about $740 million. That payout was on top of a record $2,069 dividend from the state's oil royalty investment program, which distributes checks annually.This investment program also talks about oil trading, which is highly profitable and the most traded commodity. One of the most effective ways to trade oil is to choose automated trading bots like oil profit. It allows its users to invest effectively in oil without having to constantly monitor the trading activity themselves. Get to know more at <a href="https://www.etf-nachrichten.de/autotrading/oel-profit/">&ouml;l profit erfahrungen</a>, if you want to profit from oil trading.</blockquote><br>Maybe that's why the House GOP warned against one-time payouts - They're one time.<br><br>But Palin says Alaska's prepared:<br><br><blockquote>The state has socked away $1 billion in an education fund for the next school year and education officials say another $1 billion is expected go into the fund this year for future use. More billions went into state savings as well, Palin said.<br><br>"We're more prepared than other states because of the prudence there.... We crossed that first hurdle."</blockquote><br>

This is not the architecture of a successful electoral strategy; it is a spasm arising from ideological rigor mortis</span> </blockquote><br>If you want to <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.theweek.com/article/index/93330/Field_General_Obama">keep reading</a>, Shrum goes T.S. Eliot on us.<br><br>On another note: a reader writes in that Republicans are hoping to Iraq-War the Dems with the stimulus.<br><br><blockquote>I have some people I know who are staffers for Cantor, and they say that's come up more than once.  Iraq Vote = Stimulus Vote is a quiet underpinning to this - they are also talking a lot about the Healthcare vote in 1993, and how the GOP didn't go along with it, and the disaster was blamed on Clinton, which lead to their Congressional comeback.  That won't happen now, but they do see the possibility of something good happening for it.</blockquote><br>Risky Business, and we don't even get Rebecca De Mornay from it.

But as Gregg and I discussed in a recent <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">CNBC</span> interview, the senator has a long and outstanding record as a tax-cutter, budget-cutter, deficit-cutter, and debt-cutter.... how many major public figures would have simply drawn a line in the sand and said, No, I simply cannot cross that line?<br><br>.... He ought to think very seriously about a presidential run. I mean it. This is an act of courage. That&rsquo;s what we need."</blockquote><br>So here you go -- <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.ontheissues.org/Senate/Judd_Gregg.htm">Judd Gregg On the Issues</a>.<br><br>We're not going to go deep into his head, because a Presidential run seems very <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">un</span>-Gregg like. He's not an attention whore, and that's not to say you have to be an attention whore to run for President, but you at least have to be an attention slut; and if not the village bicycle, certainly the garden wheelbarrow.

Jon Huntsman, who has always been pro-life, might be a better test of evangelical willingness to support a Mormon presidential candidate than a formerly pro-choice, pro-gay rights governor of Massachusetts.<br><br>On the other hand, Huntsman might have even bigger problems among secularists. Romney's Massachusetts residence and Bain background gave him some distance from anti-Mormon stereotypes that will be difficult for a Utah governor to achieve. </blockquote><br><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.newmajority.com/ShowScroll.aspx?ID=cb77ce76-6639-40d2-8281-a10b02983ca3">David Frum </a>says that if it matters, it shouldn't.<br><br><blockquote>Maybe Mitt Romney&rsquo;s adherence to the teachings of Joseph Smith proves him a sucker. But there&rsquo;s no sign of the sucker about him when he reads a balance sheet! Why should we assume he&rsquo;d be any more gullible when it came time to negotiate a treaty or face down a foreign threat or review an EPA regulation?<br><br>....If candidates like these [Romney and Huntsman] cannot be elected to national office because of their religious affiliation, then our Republican talent pool looks dangerously shallow. It&rsquo;s important to know: how thick are the barriers against a Mormon president &ndash; and what might help to surmount them?</blockquote><br><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.newmajority.com/ShowScroll.aspx?ID=cb77ce76-6639-40d2-8281-a10b02983ca3">Keep reading</a> -- it's the longest analysis of Mormonism and politics, since Huckabee's opposition researcher delivered the Monday morning briefing to his boss.

</h3>
<div class="post-header-line-1"></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
From the halls of one of the more curious resumes, former constitutional lawyer to Ronald Reagan, active campaigner for Barack Obama, and supreme Arthur Laffer-hater*, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-oped0217gopfeb17,0,1788854.story">Douglas Kmiec</a> proposes a middle ground where post-partisan Obama and post-election GOP can meet: Mitt Romney.<br><br>This is the last "Romney for ___ " we're going to post, since he's been suggested for everything in Obama's administration except First Dog.<br><br>But it's always illuminating to see how markedly Romney has transformed himself.<br><br>Except this time, it's not Mitt moving; it's his party doing the heavy, image-altering lifting. The GOP realizes that, despite its objections, most Americans serve mammon, and getting God right isn't as important for next year's election cycle as nailing down permanent tax relief.<br><br>And that's where Mitt Romney comes swooping in -- not from Iowa, but from Wall Streetowa.<br><br><a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-oped0217gopfeb17,0,1788854.story">Kmiec</a>:<br><br><blockquote>.... while I am reluctant to recommend that the president give another Republican a chance at joining the Obama team, there is someone who seems ideally suited by personality and preparation: Mitt Romney. Romney's skill as a capable financial workout artist saved the 2002 Olympics from almost certain failure and successfully restructured innumerable private firms. In the GOP presidential primary, the ultrapartisanship of Mike Huckabee and John McCain derisively hung the "flip-flop" label on Romney or his intelligent open-mindedness, but in the light of day, that is better understood as a badge of honor.</blockquote><br>*Says Kmiec, of Laffer's famous curve:<br><br><blockquote>The Republicans need to break free of an economic theory that was drafted on economist Arthur B. Laffer's napkin. Supply-side theory may have sufficed at a different time, but giving the wealthy more reasons not to notice that 90 percent of the wealth is held by 1 percent of the nation takes no account of the present economic reality. Trickle-down tax relief, by definition, trickles, and when you've got a nation losing jobs monthly by the hundreds of thousands, trickling is not the answer.</blockquote>

</h3>
<div class="post-header-line-1"></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content">
<a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/thefix/2009/02/white_house_cheat_sheet_the_re.html?hpid=topnews">Chris Cillizza dishes</a> on the three GOP leaders who have emerged like butterflies from whatever butterflies emerge from since Barack Obama became POTUS: Mark Sanford, Eric Cantor, and Mitt Romney.<br><br>For his part, Romney's spokesman talks about his boss like 2012 is circled in giant, red ink.<br><br><blockquote>"From having spent a career in the private sector, Governor Romney has some ideas on what it will take to get the economy moving again. <span style="font-weight: bold;">He's going to continue to speak out on this and other subjects because he cares deeply about a strong and prosperous America</span>."</blockquote><br>(ea) Is George W. Bush going to continue to speak out on issues he cares deeply about? Also, note the "strong and prosperous America". You only talk about a strong and prosperous America if you're interested in representing her further. It would be one thing if Romney were a sitting governor or Senator -- then we might hear such talk. But he's not a this or that. He's just a Romney.<br><br>As for the remaining two men, Cillizza runs the key talking points. Sanford would rather drown koala bears who are about to have kittens (analogy, <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.dooce.com/2009/02/10/22-weeks">courtesy of dooce</a>) than cut taxes; and Cantor is causing the Dems all sorts of mayhem, even though he's out-numbered 600-3.<br><br>Cillizza finishes by reminding us how physics and politics interact (ea).<br><br><blockquote>All three men have national ambitions, whether in 2012 or beyond. And, it's not too early to see these attempts to emerge as the leading economic voice in the party as a precursor to that broader fight down the line.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">In politics (as in life), every action tends to produce an equal and opposite reaction. When the president signs his economic stimulus bill today, watch for the pull in the other direction</span>. </blockquote>
