...This editorial was filled with so many errors that I felt it necessary to write to you to correct the most egregious statements...
...Kinsley is correct to say we need leaders brave enough to practice astringency, telling people what they don't want to hear. But his example of a leader who was great because he was astringent - Winston Churchill - never won an election through astringency. Throughout the 1930s, when he was warning of the Nazi peril, he was almost uniformly rejected as a crank. He was not elected Prime Minister in 1940; rather, he was installed by a Parliament that deferred general elections until after the war.

Either way, it's a troubling issue this year for two reasons. First, Florida has had a deluge of more than a million new registered voters since 2004, and almost half of them have come in 2008 alone, leading many to wonder if the database has been able to keep up. And Florida's spiking home foreclosures spell the risk of thousands being stricken from the rolls simply because...
