George Will

If pundits want to note McCain's maverick moments, fine. He's had some. But it never ceases to amaze me (call me naïve) how this flattering label circulates uncorrected.

Yesterday, George Will just about blew poor George Stephanopoulos' mind when he announced that he had done this "reporting" stuff and got an interesti...

Everyone now is focused sharply on Obama's rhetoric, specifically having to do with verbal focus: Self- or other-directed, exclusive or inclusive, "I" or "you"?

Washington fights sound petty even when they are deeply consequential, and neither journalists nor politicians have discovered how to make them sound as dramatic and consequential as they deserve to sound.

It was a delight to see Stephanopoulos nudge McCain to Iraq, getting at what is the most fundamental difference between the two candidates -- the grown-up test of independence from the Bush worldview.

The knee-jerk conclusion by some is that more black and brown people are in prison because the commit the majority of the crimes. But a closer inspection paints a vastly different picture.

As a matter of logic, particularly in baseball, the use of a technological umpire (like instant replay) for any reason sends us perilously down a slippery slope.

In his AIPAC speech Obama chose the old politics, trying out neo-con a neo-con by declaring that Jerusalem should be the undivided capital of Israel. That's not going to work for the black change candidate.

No, I'm not referring to how the rest of the world views George Bush's United States. Nor even to how Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama fans feel about...

George Will talked about China, Iran, America's resilience, the presidential campaign and how he changed his views about Iraq.

If we acknowledge that polar bears' survival is threatened by global warming, the ESA is far more radical than we dreamed when we passed it.

In Indiana, if Obama grabs the ball and takes it to the hoop, he'll win the nomination and put himself on track to win the presidency. If he doesn't, he better watch out for flying chairs.

Republicans will try to defeat Obama by running him through the right-wing freak show. He will be depicted to be, at once, a Chablis-sipping snob, angry Black nationalist and radical Marxist.

Bow-tied pundit Will denounced Obama Sunday as an "elitist" and told a lie about Obama's trying and failing to connect with Iowa farmers. But Obama won't be defeated by George Will posing as spokesperson for the regular folk.

John McCain's staunchest ally on campaign finance reform, Fred Wertheimer, says that it is illegal for him to be doing what he is doing.

Last week, John McCain earned himself a brief respite from being called a political turncoat by his fellow conservatives because the New York Times wr...

Iowa has a population of around 3 million, with 2 million eligible voters. Obama got 91, 000 votes, Huckabee got 38,700. Do the math. Never have so few done so much for so fewer.

Mike Huckabee's insurrectionist presidential campaign is defying the determination of the Republican establishment to restrict the selection of the pa...

According to David Brooks, the state of New Hampshire is blanketed with "posters" for Ron Paul, which can be seen as you "drive around." And we've go...

With only 24 percent of Americans thinking the country is on the right track, the behavior of the leading GOP presidential candidates is utterly befuddling.
