Endgame analysis:  No question Newt won, but no single huge moment that is likely to shift the polls dramatically (or fundamentally).  Just a consistent strong performance, that's the pretty uniform assessment from relatively neutral people I'm following on Twitter.  Really bad night for Santorum, off...

Some of my renowned "quick, newsy bits and links" of which I am so proud: Supreme Court ready to throw out affirmative action?  NY Times is worried, and at least one conservative thinks it's lining up as a distinct possibility. Prop. 8 backers seek 9th Circuit en...

A PBS documentary about which supporters of Bill are not happy: Monica Lewinsky has attempted to keep a low-profile after her role in President Bill Clinton's impeachment scandal made her name the butt of many late-night jokes. But she's likely to become a topic of discussion...
