Some stuff: How much is that drone worth to the Russians and Chinese?  And who believes the Iranians brought it down softly without help? Watching Obama's 60 min interview.  Expecting the worst.  Doubt I'll do a separate post about it, but who knows. Palestinian Authority rejects Israeli call...

Hard to know if the Democratic National Committee thinks it's hurting Newt with this, or helping him (video h/t ElectAd). I do think they're trying to frame Gingrich's image now that he's the frontrunner, consistent with the DNC's reaction at the debate last night: ...

Palestinian national identity as it currently is recognized was a reaction to the creation of Israel and most prominently the 1967 war when Israel captured territory controlled by Egypt and Jordan.  Newt Gingrich is under fire for stating this truth. It doesn't really change the equation...

Quick take:  Everyone performed well, but if Romney's task was to take on and knock down Newt, he didn't do it.  Romney was offered up the opportunity a number of times, and only tried once and it was weak.  It was not as cringe-worthy as...

Mitt Romney has to attack Newt tonight at the debate.  If he doesn't, and rests on television interviews and what his surrogates have done the past few days, Romney will be Tim Pawlenty, who was not willing to confront Romney on "Obamneycare" in person. If I were Newt,...

Every now and then I stumble upon a column which says exactly what I had been thinking but had not yet written. Christian Whiton absolutely is on target as to the reasons behind the collective and almost uniform piling on of Newt by the Republican pundit and political class...
