Today on the Dish, Andrew liveblogged Stupor Tuesday's election returns, previewed Mitt's nastiness, and delved into Romney's Christianism. We wondered if Paul's failure to win a state actually hurt him, found a defense against the anti-caucus consensus, looked at the primary from China, and were wowed by Obama's Latino and organizational advantages. Ad War Updates here and here.
Andrew blasted the Emergency Committee for Israel's campaign against dissenters and worried that Netanyahu had already decided to go to war. Analysts hoped diplomacy could head off the rush to war with Iran, "Going the full Cantor" on Israel became a thing, Obama went on offense on Iran, Eric Holder sorta clarified when Obama could kill you, and the Anglosphere did well for itself.
Finally, Andrew weighed in on a recent debate on the social construction of race and expressed some concerns about the Boycott Rush campaign. Readers disputed the size of Limbauh's audience and the implications of the pill for women's equality in the workplace were extraordinary. We surveyed the debate over the Cato vs. Koch libertarian throwdown, accounted for ridiculous American healthcare spending, performed a similar maneuver for skyrocketing college tuition, and took in advice from Eeyore intended for Bernanke. Money corrupted, Football violence shocked (some), post in-vitro embryos puzzled, academics googled, and a hippo pooped.
