More Evidence That The Country Is In A Centrist Mood

Some very interesting results from a post-election poll by Newsweek:
Just about everyone believes the Republicans lost the 2006 midterms more than the Democrats won it. Presented with a list of factors that may have contributed to the Democrats’ success, 85 percent of Americans said the “major reason” was disapproval of the administration’s handling of […]

And Now, A Little More Kerry-Bashing

Hey, what can I say? The man is a gold mine.  Susannah Meadows writes in Newsweek about John Kerry’s ‘epically flubbed joke’:
Chuck Schumer got right to the point. On Thursday afternoon, the New York Senator, who’s leading the Democrats’ efforts to win back the Senate, called John Kerry and let him have it. The Massachussetts Senator’s […]

Hitchens On Kerry

Could I resist blogging about a Christopher Hitchens piece in the Wall Street Journal focusing on John Kerry’s latest humiliation? No, I most certainly could not:
Regrettable though it might be for the United States military to become an untouchable “third rail” in American politics, there can be little sympathy for someone who keeps on brushing […]

Novak On The Election

He’s got it Dems +5 in the Senate, Dems + 20 in the House…
In other election-related news, John Kerry has apologized for his botched apology…

The Non-Apology Apology

How do you apologize when you don’t really want to apologize? Why, you apologize that others misunderstood you, not for your own comments.  Confused? Let John Kerry show you:
As a combat veteran, I want to make it clear to anyone in uniform and to their loved ones: my poorly stated joke at a rally was […]

John Kerry: A Rovian Plant?

To my delight, the John Kerry remarks are getting an extra day of play (let’s not kid ourselves, though, by pretending this swings the election…it’s just too bad he didn’t make the remarks this coming Monday, but by tomorrow, I expect it will already be old hat - unless Kerry is dumb enough to come […]

More On JFK II

The Hotline On Call has a series of questions:
By making himself an issue, did Sen. John Kerry do the GOP a favor by giving them an issue to motivate their base? (Independents may not care, but the base hates Kerry… hates him.)
If Kerry is happy to let America know that he’s not going to take […]

My Plea To John Kerry: Please, Please Run (In 2008, 2012, 2016)…

…because a campaign without John Kerry means a campaign where we don’t get wonderfully revealing quotes that show what a pompous, arrogant, class-conscious jackass he is:
Mr. Kerry, the 2004 Democratic presidential candidate who is believed to be considering another run for the White House in 2008, set the stage for bitter back-and-forth as he addressed […]

For Those Of You Having Trouble Getting Your Sunday Nap In…

…I present Bob Woodward’s conversation with John Kerry:
Can a president afford to have doubt in a time of war?
Well, you better have your doubts before the war. And you better explore every doubt before the war. But once you’ve committed, you better not have a doubt. You better know what you’re doing and you better […]

Is It Hillary By Acclamation?

It sure will be if John Edwards is the toughest rival she faces.  Michael Barone looks at the fallout from the Warner withdrawal:
Mark Warner announced this morning that he’s not running for president. As Prince Metternich asked when informed that the Russian ambassador had suddenly dropped dead, “What can have been his motive?” I suppose […]

Kerry Decries Those Who Would Cut And Run

No, really, I mean it:
The U.S. must not cut and run from the real front line in the war on terror.
Of course, he’s not talking about Iraq, but Afghanistan…there seems to be a concerted effort by Democrats underway to conflate the two.  It’s a bait and switch game that is purely political, and I […]

The Iowa Poll: Clinton Viewed Unfavorably By 49%

Hillary’s presidential campaign seems to be in real danger of running out of steam, and that’s bad news for Democrats, as, if the primaries were held today, the number one candidate would appear to be the not-ready-for-prime-time (and horrible campaigner) John Edwards:
Today’s Iowa Poll of the 2008 race for president in the Hawkeye state ought […]

If John Kerry Is The Answer…

…thank God I don’t know the question:
Sen. John Kerry didn’t contest the results at the time, but now that he’s considering another run for the White House, he’s alleging election improprieties by the Ohio Republican who oversaw the deciding vote in 2004.
An e-mail will be sent to 100,000 Democratic donors Tuesday asking them to support […]

2008 vs. 1972: A Different Electorate

David Hogberg has an article in the American Spectator that argues that opposition to the War In Iraq is the Democratic meal ticket to the White House, and that (shades of my Rumsfeld piece this weekend) we have basically two years to get things right:
Imagine that presidential candidate John Kerry had somehow time-traveled back to […]

John Kerry: The Biggest A**hole In Politics

In John Kerry’s world, there is no room for dissent on Iraq, thus making him the political equivalent of Kos and Jane Hamsher. Just listen to the arrogant lightweight, who famously chewed out an aide for not bringing his favorite brush during the 2004 campaign, disparage Joe Lieberman, a man who is still the […]

Was John Kerry Right?

George Will and Richard Posner seem to think so. First, Will:
The London plot against civil aviation confirmed a theme of an illuminating new book, Lawrence Wright’s “The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11.” The theme is that better law enforcement, which probably could have prevented 9/11, is central to combating terrorism. […]

The Democrat-Nutroots® Divide

Dean Barnett takes a look at the Kossack reaction to Israel’s war with Hezbollah, and he sees still more trouble ahead for candidates who seek to pander to the progressive blogosphere. Barnett first notes the silence of the front-pagers:
THE CONFLAGRATION in Lebanon has provided an example of the people-powered movement’s potential to be a […]

Kerry: Hezbollah’s Hatred Of Israel Bush’s Fault

That’s the only possible meaning of this:
U.S. Sen. John Kerry, D- Mass., who was in town Sunday to help Gov. Jennifer Granholm campaign for her re-election bid, took time to take a jab at the Bush administration for its lack of leadership in the Israeli-Lebanon conflict.
“If I was president, this wouldn’t have happened,” said Kerry […]

More 2008 Polling Data

Again from Gallup; for the Republicans, it’s Rudy at 29%, McCain at 24%, and everyone else way, way back…for the Democrats, it’s a replay of 2000 with Clinton and Gore - but don’t forget 2004! Edwards and Kerry aren’t far behind…and Mark Warner at 2%? I guess hiring accused stock manipulator Jerome Armstrong and […]

Kerry: Out By ‘07; Insurgents: Eh, ‘08 Will Do

Sorry, I couldn’t resist:
Eleven Sunni insurgent groups have offered an immediate halt to all attacks — including those on American troops — if the United States agrees to withdraw foreign forces from Iraq in two years, insurgent and government officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday. 
Even the insurgents think the Kerry plan is unrealistic!…
