There have been times when kinetic art - think of Marcel Duchamp's spinning bicycle wheel screwed to a stool, Alexander Calder's abstract mobiles or the self-destructing machines of Jean Tinguely - moved the art world. Recently, though, it has tended to be sidelined as the work of toymakers and garden-shed boffins, finding a warmer welcome in the science museum than the art gallery. That's no bad thing, to judge from "Fantastical Mechanisms - Machines Tell Stories," the biggest exhibition of its kind in Europe since the '60s, on show at the dashingly futuristic Phaeno science center in Wolfsburg...
...them elected. And when they lose, I don't take it personally. And Romney was like every other candidate in our field. The reason that we're in this mess is because not one of our candidates, from top to bottom, fully met or meets the three-legged stool of conservatism. You've got this foreign policy crowd, you've got the fiscal conservative-small government crowd and you've got the social and cultural crowd. We didn't have one candidate who wrapped them all up. As such, the conservative voter decided, O.K., this issue is more important...

Limbaugh has warned that nominating McCain or Huckabee would destroy the party, and while Romney has emphasized his appeal to neocons, theocons and econocons - the Reaganite three-legged stool - YouTube has made him look like a flip-flopping pseudocon. The conservative direct-mail activist Richard Viguerie has called for a new candidate to unify the right. "Grass-roots conservatives are justifiably wary of the present contenders," he wrote...

He would run as the candidate of the ideological establishment, the Republican old-guard, the coalition of Ronald Reagan, with that three-legged stool of social, fiscal and national security conservatism. He would become the inside man in a presidential field filled with outsiders...
...Romney strategy has two clear components. First, the campaign is determined to marginalize Huckabee, who continues to poll well in many southern states, bleeding off votes from the vital socially conservative leg of the Romney's stool. "Huckabee has proven he can't win in the south," said Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's spokesman. "People are going to realize that this is a two person race right now," said Sekulow...
