Palinmania and the Stature Gap
Toby Harnden weighs in with his thoughts on the Palin effect. All interesting, all very astute IMO. Of particular interest is Toby’s argument that McCain commands enough public respect for his experience and expertise, that he has no concerns about … Continue reading

Theater of the Absurd, Act III

McCain Speaks to Europe
photo: Chris Dunn Spiegel has a typically aggressive (and aggressively European) interview with John McCain today. In many ways it’s an interesting yet disappointing exercise, due to its focus on the perceived past sins of the Bush administration. While much … Continue reading

The Practicality of Barack
At some point along the way Obama became the pragmatist’s choice. Hillary used to own that territory when concerns turned to electability, but that’s all over with now. Perception is as PoliticalBuzz puts it, “Obama is someone who can rally … Continue reading
