A lot of bloggers and columnists talk about 2008, without telling you whom they’re supporting. Me? I think if I’m going to comment on the race, I have an obligation to tell you whom I’m for, so that you can take that into consideration when you read what I have to say. Out of the […]

The argument over whether illegal aliens should be allowed to have driver’s licenses often breaks down to a debate over “rewarding illegal aliens” vs. “allowing them to drive legally” because they’re going to do it anyway. However, in large part, this misses the point because driver’s licenses aren’t just about driving. Driver’s licenses are de […]

This week-end, as I was reflecting on the crankiness of the conservative movement and how unhappy so many people still are with the GOP despite their improved performance since 2006, I wondered what it would take to get people right back on the same page again.

In order of the candidate’s current chances to win… 6) Ron Paul, Duncan Hunter, Tom Tancredo, Alan Keyes: These candidates need to have lightning strike in order to have an opportunity to win the nomination.
