Despite the hype, I suspect many people will be thinking about some current and former Governors who will not be there, and who have not yet declared, or who may never declare. I’ll be traveling tonight so I will not get to watch it.  Please...

Thanks to my friend Mike for a referring me to a really fascinating article on South Carolina. I really don’t like playing the “who in 2012” game, since — in my opinion — it is way too far out to tell. However, this article did...

Among the ironies of the intervention in Libya is that those who most bitterly complain about the Israel Lobby were in fact part of a Libya Lobby, as pointed out by David Bernstein earlier this month: As regular readers know, I’ve been highly critical of Professor Stephen...
