Something’s Wrong, Something’s Amiss
Gosh, I can’t quite put my finger on what’s bothering me about this analysis of Romney’s performance in Florida from CNN’s Juan Carlos Lopez here, but it’s just not right. How Romney won Florida’s Latino vote Huhwha? Did I miss something? As Mitt Romney dominated the Florida Republican primary Tuesday night, he also captured the [...]

Crossing The Rubin Con On Romney
Oh, Jennifer Rubin. You really are a terrible hack, and why the Kaplan machine keeps inflicting you upon the populace, I’ll never know. Romney as the nominee will be flyspecked and criticized over every word. He needs to avoid actual gaffes. But he can’t keep the media from editing out all the inconvenient parts of [...]

Dear Grey Lady? A Request…
...Please, oh please, do not let the Style section editor assign or publish anything to do with politics. Consider the latest atrocity. In it, a group profile of four out of the five Romney sons, we learn that: They stump for him across the country as surrogates; they offer a square-jawed, Christmas-card-ready backdrop for him [...]

They Knew Exactly Which Buttons To Push
So I wonder what the deal is behind this story, but that’s not the interesting part. Late Tuesday evening, a press release went out to numerous political journalists with stunning news. Mega-union SEIU had voted to withdraw its recently bestowed endorsement of Barack Obama. That’s certainly not unimaginable — SEIU often takes its own path [...]

Sully’s Moose-ion Improbable
One more thing about the Griftzilla From Wasilla yesterday: there’s Sully’s now legendary take on Sarah Palin getting into the race as an independent Wednesday afternoon: The obvious problem is that she would all but guarantee the re-election of Barack Obama. Is she delusional and narcissistic enough to plow onward regardless? You betcha! Yeah, oops. [...]

Oh, Spencer, You’ve Been Hanging Out in the Village Too Long
I suppose this could theoretically work for Jon Huntsman—if Ron Paul (and his Mini-Me, Gary Johnson) hadn’t already staked out the small-government-means-killing-fewer-brown-people territory long before Huntsman sauntered in, and done so in a much more principled and absolutist way, based on an actual ideology that a certain subset of right-wingers actually share: Huntsman said Obama’s [...]

Do They Even Notice When They’re Doing Things Like This?
(Thanks for the opportunity to post here, Doug and John. I hope I don’t embarrass us all.) Rick Perry is apparently so politically talented, so successful a leader, so gosh-darn handsome—handsomer and more talented and successful even than fellow Bieber-for-journos Jon Huntsman—that all he has to do is ponder a run for president and a New [...]

More Evidence That We Are Doomed
Greg Sargent has an excellent piece up tracking the reactions of the GOP and notes how many of them are not walking back the birfer nonsense: Meanwhile, a number of leading Republican figures who have either endorsed birtherism or flirted with it are either refusing to say anything about today’s developments or are still insisting [...]

Two Losers
I wasn’t able to follow the lame duck session closely, because the weeks prior to the holidays in this office are ordinarily filled with crisis and drama and last-minute filings, plus, I had to decorate two Christmas trees and talk a lot about possibly baking cookies. I was catching up, and read this on START: [...]

49% of the vote in a low-turnout election and….conservatives are RAMMING THE AGENDA down our throats in Ohio. UNTIL the suffix is removed from Gov.-elect John Kasich’s title, Ted Strickland remains Ohio’s chief executive. The public pressure Mr. Kasich is exerting on Mr. Strickland to halt spending on studies of a modern passenger rail system [...]

The Defense Department is buying and destroying the entire uncensored first printing of “Operation Dark Heart,” by Anthony Shaffer, a lieutenant colonel in the Army Reserve and former Defense Intelligence Agency [...]

Kathleen Parker shows us why she deserved that Pulitzer: No, I’m not calling Obama a girlie president. But . . . he may be suffering a rhetorical-testosterone deficit when it comes to dealing with crises, with which he has been richly endowed. [...] Obama is a chatterbox who makes Alan Alda look like Genghis Khan. [...]
