Why Madison has become the weird news capital of the Midwest.  (h/t Dan Collins)  Of the Midwest? How about of the nation? Weirdest Correction of the Day.  They are so precise in everything they do. Democrats Are Praying for a Santorum Nomination.  SoccerDad says I’m going...

As this goes to post, Wolf Blitzer is preparing carefully and cautiously for the Republican foreign policy / national security debate he will be moderating tonight on CNN. The questions were written long ago, but they are being checked and rechecked again.  No chances can...
