...Agriculture and Construction: Blame Mother Nature, not the economy, for delayed harvests in the Richmond, Chicago and Minneapolis Districts, all of which experienced unusually wet weather. Corn farmers in the Midwest are still feeling the aftershock of a Nov. 1 bankruptcy in South Dakota (one of the nation's largest ethanol producrs). A global drop in cotton demand hurt the region's cotton farmers, who saw both a decline in prices and one of the smallest harvests in 25 years. Homebuilders in the Sixth District, which includes Alabama, Florida and Georgia, noted historically high inventory numbers, despite Florida's modest...

All the really, really red states that everybody thought we might lose-except for Indiana, I guess-Montana, North Dakota, they all held. I think the [Republican] brand held up given the assault on it. This sort of Maureen Dowd nonsense, comic-book book theorizing about the Bushies who hijacked McCain--she can never write a serious column. It's just nonsense. It's just nonsense. Everybody, everybody felt...
