Al Gore 2008

Let us assume for a moment that the Democratic convention commences in August without a presumptive nominee. (Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama appear likely to throw in the towel before the convention, no matter what happens on May 6, and it also seems increasingly likely that the candidates will...

By contrast, Democrats in Washington have a life crisis, consult an army of pollsters, and have...

Al Gore once campaigned for me with his foot in a cast. As we waited to be introduced at a luncheon he confided that the injury had ended his dream of an NBA career; that and the fact that he was 46 and Vice President of the United States. I...

To say that America has lost such integrity as the self-styled beacon of modern, evolved, civilized liberty that even the person most qualified to aid her at her nadir (note the unintentionally catchy lyric which I unselfishly donate into the public domain) would realize the folly of such an endeavor...
