(AP)  A LEADING CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN IS PREDICTING THAT PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA WILL WIN THE FIGHT OVER TAXES IN “FISCAL CLIFF” NEGOTIATIONS. JIM DEMINT, WHO’S RESIGNING FROM THE SENATE, TELLS “CBS THIS MORNING” THAT A TAX INCREASE WOULD AMOUNT TO A “POLITICAL TROPHY” FOR OBAMA, BUT THAT IT WOULD BE BAD FOR THE COUNTRY.  DEMOCRATS SAY HOUSE SPEAKER JOHN BOEHNER IS UNWILLING TO CRACK ON THE KEY ISSUE OF RAISING TAXES FOR THE WEALTHY.  AND HOUSE DEMOCRAT NANCY PELOSI IS NOW WARNING AGAINST RAISING THE MEDICARE ELIGIBILITY AGE.
