Most of Peggy Noonan’s column in yesterday’s WSJ was predictably awful:
– McCain won the debate on Wednesday? Really?
– McCain succeeded in ridiculing Obama’s “eloquence”? Seriously, what debate was she watching, and from the confines of what alternate un-reality?
– The election is “infantilizing”? Why, because the guy she doesn’t like is winning?
– Palin could have been [...]

I haven’t posted about the Gallup Daily Poll in a while, and I thought it worth noting that today’s Gallup Poll Daily tracking report “shows Barack Obama maintaining a 52% to 41% lead over John McCain, unchanged from Wednesday’s report.”
Frank Newport notes:
Signifying a general stability in the race, Obama has maintained a share of the vote [...]

Does a younger population that wants to feel like they live in a young country elect an old warhawk for their leader? It would be bad enough in 2008 if McCain would not be the oldest President ever, but for him to promise to continue an experience of military adventurism that is unpopular in the [...]

The American Mayor… He didn’t have a prayer… “Perhaps he was living an illusion all along.”
John McCain won the Florida primary tonight, and “solidified his status as the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination.” Rudy barely placed yet again… He’s out:

The title says it all (h/t Huffington Post)… But it’s doubtful his prayers will be answered.
And speaking of Rudy, see what Fox News has to say about “America’s Mayor” (via Media Matters):

The most intriguing part of the State of the Union Address for me was watching the Kansas Governor audition for the second spot on the Obama ticket. The main lesson I took from the entire experience, however, is that Obama is playing a dangerous game by creating expectations that he almost certainly cannot deliver on.

My January 21, 2008 issue of Business Week Magazine contains a story that seems supremely important to me, and it’s even told there almost only in passing. Interestingly I can find nothing similar any place else, and why I find this surprising is that the situation highlighted seems to fairly scream that anyone voting Republican [...]

Here’s an itch that I’ve been wanting to scratch so I guess that I’ll just let it hang out. I probably looked forward to the Hillary Clinton presidential candidacy since some time just after the end of the 2000 election. Watching her perform on the campaign trail (and by “her” I include, but do not [...]

The controversy continued today, among some progressives on Barack Obama’s praise for Ronald Reagan in an interview earlier this week. John Edwards ripped “Barack Obama for praising the way Ronald Reagan brought about change when he was President of the United States.”
“When you think about what Ronald Reagan did to the American people, to the middle [...]

There’s an interview on BeliefNet with Mike Huckbee. Wow… that’s some interesting and quite scarey reading. Here’s what Huck had to say about his controversial statement on changing the Constitution:

The story below on Mike Huckabee couldn’t better timed to put the spotlight on a scary topic. It is a worrisome reality that the Christian Nationalist movement is far better funded, organized and active than most Americans wish to admit. Huckabee represents the worse scenario. He’s attractive and well-spoken on camera. He’s easy to like. [...]
