I keep thinking, when, not if. And what will happen to the heavy missiles and chemical weapons. I presume the Israelis have a plan. Some of the latest headlines: Now we're getting tough - Obama Administration Seeks to Remove Syria From Human Rights Committee. 'Syrian military...

The Romney campaign expects to have the nomination all but wrapped up by the end of January The Washington Post reports, and is using surrogates like John McCain to push the narrative that if Romney wins the first three (or four) states, it's over.  One of...

There must be tens of thousands of stories like this one from Charles Lane of The Washington Post about his child who died in utero just hours before a scheduled c-section: We, like the Santorums, took a photograph of the baby -- lying, as if asleep, in...

This video (via Leslie of Temple of Mut) of Rick Santorum has made the rounds as evidence that Santorum is hostile to the Tea Party movement. The key sentence, in which he expresses and intention to "vocally, publicly oppose" the Tea Party, is ambiguous.  Was he saying he...

It's so frustrating, the failure of conservative media and Republican campaigns to vet Mitt Romney's Bain days. Instead of hiring cartoonists to turn Newt into Marvin the Martian, National Review should have been digging deep into the public filings, court filings, and the financial history of...

Of course I'll be covering it, probably one of my "updates at the breaks" type of coverage, not a Live Event.  It starts at 9 p.m. Diane Sawyer and George Stephanopoulos "moderated" the Drake Debate in December.   My prior posts: Drake Debate – Video highlights, Drake Debate...

There is a new jobs report out, with the usual caveats that the work force is shrinking, but the nominal unemployment rate is down to 8.5%.  That's the number which counts politically. The rate would be 10.9% if the same number of people were in the...

I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that phrase used in the email from reader NCMont to explain his move from D.C. to Austin.  I guess it's like when I make the trip from Rhode Island to Ithaca when school is in session.  Or is it the other way...

You would think that Wisconsin state officials charged with ensuring the intergrity of elections, including the recall against Gov. Scott Walker, would want to check for duplicate, fictitious and fraudulent signatures on recall petitions. But no.  As I reported in November, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board decided...

Things that deserve separate posts, but won't get it, for now: He's still trying to out liberal a real liberal, and it will not work:  Scott Brown Says He Supports Obama’s Illegal “Recess” Appointment of Richard Cordray… and  Scott Brown Accuses Gingrich Of 'Pandering To The Right-Wing Extreme'. ...

I posted the other day about Alan Colmes mocking -- and then apologizing for mocking -- the manner in which Rick Santorum and his family mourned their child who died shortly after birth. Now Eugene Robinson of The Washington Post and MSNBC has done the same (via...

Having called the Tea Party birthers and Newt Ahmadinejad, Ann Coulter has identified another way of demonizing and belittling someone who is not Mitt Romney: As a two-time senator from a light-blue state, Rick Santorum is not as obviously unelectable as the rest. But don't leap too fast,...
