...well turn out to be one of his biggest flops: 54% of California voters see no need for the special election, particularly since the initiatives could have been voted on in the primary next June. Schwarzenegger's popularity ratings, meanwhile, are turning him into a liability on the campaign trail. The man who came into office promising to aggressively challenge special interests in the state capital says he regrets his earlier talk of "kicking [the] butts" of nurses and mocking "girlie men" legislators. After pulling his segments from all TV ads supporting the initiatives, Schwarzenegger last week released a humbler...
...Bush’s mistake was in failing to choose someone who fulfilled the first attribute while also nominating someone of unknown judicial expertise. Harriet Miers might have still been confirmed had she consistently demonstrated a high level of constitutional acumen.

...each book at face value. There's no politics behind it." Crispin's apartment is overflowing with free books from publishers desperate for a mention. As for the Times, it's scrutinizing the blogging phenomenon for its own purposes. In January the Gray Lady started up Times on the Trail, a campaign-news website with some decidedly bloglike features; it takes the bold step of linking to articles by competing newspapers, for example. "The Times cannot ignore this. I don't think any big media can ignore this," says Len Apcar, editor in chief of the New York Times...
