		<description><![CDATA[The Obama team smiles as the Republicans brawl.  If the Fox News poll of likely voters in swing states is accurate, the Republicans are in trouble, and the scorched-earth campaign tactics of the candidates and their super packs are likely major contributors. The Romney apparatus has unleashed the dogs with ads labeling Santorum as a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Any young, or for that matter old, and thoughtful conservative who finds it difficult to understand why smart people can be quite liberal, and perhaps vice versa, might find it useful to read Thomas Sowell&#8217;s A Conflict of Visions &#8212; Ideological Origins of Political Struggles (Morrow, 1987).

		<description><![CDATA[Sophistry:  a subtle, tricky, superficially plausible, but generally fallacious method of reasoning. Example:   an &#8220;accommodation&#8221; that requires an insurance company to pay for services that the insurance buyer does not want. In truth, although I have yet to study the details, the President&#8217;s so-called accommodation is not even superficially plausible.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[According to many conservative pundits, Newt Gingrich is dead &#8212; again.  I&#8217;ll resist the temptation to join the chorus (this time). Following Newt&#8217;s resurrection in South Carolina after getting clobbered in Iowa, it was clear to me that the Speaker was stunned by Romney&#8217;s vehemence in the second Florida debate.  Let&#8217;s face it &#8212; the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Given Newt Gingrich&#8217;s strong debate performances, many strengths, and the state of the Republican field, he may no longer be toast.  (See my May 16 post Gingrich is Toast.) Speaker Gingrich is very smart, articulate, and highly knowledgeable, with extensive experience, wit, and guts. Stranger things could happen in a strange year in which the [...]]]></description>
