One conservative’s man-crush on … Ted Kennedy?!

January 29, 2008 By David

David Brooks's NYT op-ed today is remarkable.  Emphasis mine. The Kennedys and Obama hit the same contrasts again and again in their speeches: the high road versus the low road; inspiration versus calculation; future versus the past; … [Read more...]

I’m voting for Obama, I guess

January 27, 2008 By David

It has taken me an absurdly long time to figure out who I'm voting for on Super-Duper Tuesday.  But the primary is next week, so my time is up.  I'm voting for Barack Obama, though I'm not all that excited about it.  (And no, … [Read more...]

Two excellent articles from MassINC’s CommonWealth Magazine

January 24, 2008 By David

We're very lucky to have a thinktank as good as MassINC around writing about local issues.  The current issue of their magazine has two articles well worth reading: first, a long, thoughtful, and even-handed assessment of Governor … [Read more...]

NY Times endorses Clinton for president, and if you must vote Republican, McCain

January 24, 2008 By David

First, they don't love Edwards. We have enjoyed hearing Mr. Edwards's fiery oratory, but we cannot support his candidacy. The former senator from North Carolina has repudiated so many of his earlier positions, so many of his Senate votes, … [Read more...]
