...longtime Republican, but I agree that the candidates and talking heads who are tripping over one another to crusade for Petraeus' honor need to take a step back and realize how silly they look. Rudy Giuliani's attempt to link Senator Hillary Clinton to the ad was a few paces beyond ridiculous. On the other hand, Kinsley weakened his credibility somewhat by lambasting by name several conservatives who have indulged in excessive "umbrage" but giving no examples of how politicians on the other side of the aisle have done the same. Kinsley made an excellent point, but he wants...
...January just increases the odds that party nominees may be selected before most of the country has even tuned in. That's a problem, with the stakes so high in a country unsettled by war and so many untested--and still unfamiliar--candidates. A recent Time poll shows Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton leading their respective competitors nationally, but the race is still wide open. Bill Clinton has described campaigning for President as a job interview, with an application process consisting of unrelenting media scrutiny and a grueling coast-to-coast gauntlet of events and debates.

"I'm proud to be the only major candidate for President to sign the tax pledge," he says, "The others have not." Romney goes on in the ad to make another promise: he vows not merely...

No one knows, of course, but one instinct tells me that Rudy will have lost less blood when it's all said and done, based on his experience in the mud pit of New York City politics. Giuliani has another card to play, too: he will be arguing, in effect, "I'm not perfect, but I'll keep you safer...
...None of this would be possible if evangelical voters - and their leaders - were behaving as they have in the past, lining up behind a single conservative. Instead, various polls, including the Washington Post poll released this week, show that it is Giuliani who leads his GOP rivals even among regular church attendees. TIME noted in a story this week that 66% of white evangelical protestants, in a Pew Research study, describe terror and security as "very important," compared with 56% for social issues...
