You can validly level a number of serious charges at the woman, but being boring isn’t one of them. Anyway, the stuff I’m posting here is very different from anything I’ve read or heard about Palin in most places. Over at our beauty blog , Hillary is on a roll .
This is a woman who probably learned what it felt like to lead on a high school basketball team. Her next stop was the PTA, and from there, the City Council. I used to be a small town journalist, and I’ve met politicians just like her. There are a surprising number of them out there, people who step up and put one foot in front of the other and do the one right thing at a time, for one right reason at a time; in whom the necessity of ambition unfurls slowly, naturally, indistinguishably from the issues themselves. They are rarely partisan. I’ve also met the incumbents, cronies, gadflies and critics who take up an awful lot of space in local politics, infusing them with incompetence, apathy, t...

The vote counting has been completed in Alaska’s race for Ted Stevens’ Senate seat and Mark Begich, the Democrat candidate, was announced the winner. The spread came down to 3,724 votes and with only 2,500 overseas ballots left to be counted the divide is unbeatable for Stevens.

Last night I embedded a video by John Ziegler that showed some Obama voters being interviewed about their knowledge of the issues in the campaign. The video is funny, but also instructive. It was prepared in connection with a Zogby poll and the web site How Obama Got Elected .
Here are some highlights of Zogby’s poll of Obama voters:
* 57 percent thought the Republicans still control Congress. Note that this is worse than a random result, since there are only two possible... more

I was trying to pretend there wasn’t one, but then Sarah Palin came along and made it almost interesting!
My friend Ben Casnocha nails more than one thing here:
My ideal Washington D.C. is a place where politicians argue with one another all day and get nothing done.

My first home is Qik HQ (by choice), and I may just spend more time in La Tartine than I do in the house where I sleep. They’ve just nailed everything, including but not limited to the coffee (brewed by the cup!); the pastries; the meals; the free wifi; the ample power outlets; the comfy leather chairs; the outdoor seating with shade; the indoor waterfall, and the friendly staff. (One of the workers in Pamplemousse , La Tartine’s competition two streets over... more
