Grover Norquist, the most intelligent and humorous of the Republican strategists, stated this almost as an axiom.

Take a Senator from New England with a Teddy Kennedy voting record, he said, and more than half the electorate has decided to reject him already. The rest is gravy.

COULD this possibly be too simple an account?

We are about to find out, because the Democrats chose a front-loaded primary system which gives huge advantages to a designated "front runner", and which then allows several months for that lucky person to hog the spotlight.

If you slightly stifled a yawn when you first saw Kerry give a speech, get ready to be comatose by November.

Hitchens reveals his true hack-ish nature.

Good to see Hitchens pulling the "al gore is boring" meme out of the closet, dusting it off, and putting it to good use.

Did you even RTFA?

Next time at least read the article before you post your nasty comments.
