John Edwards’ money man and “spontaneous” gift giver to his former (I think?) mistress certainly has helped a lot of Democrats. They may regret it.

Learning from errors is a good presidential quality.

Ouch: “Yet oddly, the bumptious [Rick] Warren seems to have a stronger grasp of what separation of church and state has actually meant in the American political tradition, both historically and philosophically, than my vastly more erudite colleague.”

Not a Freudian slip: this is how Democrats talk about the GOP in private.

Now the Democrats have figured it out: there is not much there, there on Barack Obama’s domestic agenda. (If you don’t count a bunch of tax increases.) The Florida GOP Chairman hits the nail on the head: we’re not electing a “motivational speaker.”

This makes more sense than Tim Kaine.

Frank Rich says the problem is that we don’t know John McCain well enough. Right diagnosis, wrong patient. But the McCain team would be thrilled if the Obama camp believed that. (Somehow I think the latter isn’t that dim.)

This seemed incredibly lame: doesn’t he have a view? Some “meaningful” response would have been nice.

This takes wishful thinking to a whole new level: hoping the New York Times editorial board understands the gravity of the age and the danger posed by our foes.

Nancy Pelosi may allow an offshore drilling vote, but will never consider ANWR. John McCain might.
