Peggy Noonan coins a phrase.
Limbaugh, Malkin And Coulter?
McCain’s candidacy looks better every day. Coulter on Clinton and McCain:
"I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism."
“Overwhelmingly Obama”
That’s how Lunt’z’s independent focus group felt:
Mottaki Out
Did he sit too close to Zalmay? An interesting parallel: Bolton slimes Khalilzad; Ahmadinejad slimes Mottaki.
A Hydrogen Fuel Breakthrough?
Encouraging research news.
Nude Airways Update
One flight is sold out already – with journalists. In my experience, most journalists look better with their clothes on. Silver lining: no hot beverages allowed.
Limbaugh vs Conservatism
John Cole reminds us of some basic truths:
It sure would be nice to think that the base of the dwindling GOP is not as batshit insane as the nutters at the NRO, Red State, etc., but I have not seen much evidence of it. The thing that needs to be said, over and over, though, is that Rush Limbaugh and those guys simply aren’t conservatives. They just aren’t. Radically restructuring government to create an unaccountable executive is not conservative. Building a security apparatus that is designed to spy on citizens is not a conservative principle. Runaway spending and bloated budgets are not conservative ideas. Torture and permanent aggressive wars are not conservative principles. Fearmongering and keeping the electorate scared is not a conservative principle. And on and on.
Will Gore Endorse?
Time is running out, unless he wants to be a macher at a brokered convention.
Ambers On Kodak
A nice point:
I think Clinton’s goal tonight was to essentially humble herself before the Democratic Party that rebuked her so profoundly in South Carolina. Substance and niceness and graciousness were the order of the day. By her own standards she succeeded. She still doesn’t have a good answer to the dynasty question. I hear it a lot from voters on the trail. “We are all judged on our own merits” is a tautology.
Not her first.
Josh On Kodak
He scores it a narrow win for Obama.
