Merely an aggregation of a dispersed life online
Now, I was not a big fan of the CNN/YouTube debate. I largely agree with the criticism that CNN used their editorial ability to pick questions that they couldn’t ask as reporters. That said, I was struck by something this morning. Somehow this seemingly trivial debate managed to get Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to [...]
This story really seems to have legs. Even makes CNN: In case you missed, the Romney campaign is denying that this ever happened. John Roberts says that it is the Romney’s campaign’s policy.
UPDATE: GOPProgress and Jim Geraghty have now written on this. Earlier in the week, Mitt Romney released his National Faith and Values Steering Committee. In doing so, he entered a brave new world. Four of the people on the list are bloggers: – David French, Senior Counsel, Alliance Defense Fund, Tennessee – Nancy French, Author, [...]
This is scathing live blogging about Romney from Ana Marie Cox, no serious person. (H/T to GOP Blue at GOP Progress. ) 8:23 PM Gilmore ALSO STANDING. Mitt Romney totally flummoxed, can’t remember what polling said about standing versus sitting. 8:31 PM Romney’s decided to stand. He’s not going to apologize about becoming pro-standing. He’s [...]
In The Way to Win (a great book, buy it!), John Harris and Mark Halperin talk about one of the greatest risks of the "Freak Show" is losing control of your public image. I have been struck watching the aftermath of the South Carolina debate that this might have happened to Mitt Romney. Have Mitt [...]
Mitt Romney is doing himself no favors these days. Whether it is his lifetime hunter gaffe, his confusing French marriage law for fictionalizations of the Book of Mormon, or calling a ridiculous sci-fi book his favorite novel, he can’t keep his foot — in a silver space boot? — out of his mouth. So Romney [...]
I have to admit, it is pretty brave for Mitt Romney to go on Leno. Two days after Romney’s favorite book gaffe, Romney is going on the show of a guy who ripped him for his hunting gaffe. Check out the clips: Ouch. "Rudy Giuliani’s been married more times than this guy’s been hunting."
Jonathan Martin has a point… Meanwhile one of the Arizona Republic’s blogs is playing interference for McCain…
Or so says the Boston Herald. I mean, you have to keep that straight, it is a security question online, right? (H/T Wlady)
[see original here] Conservatism treats humans as they are, as moral creatures possessing rational minds and capable of discerning right from wrong. There comes a time when we must speak out in the defense of the conservative movement, and make a stand for political civility. This is one of those times. Ann Coulter used [...]
