Ted Cruz for Senate
Under The Marble Arch
"I slept and dreamt that life was Joy.
I woke and saw that life was Duty.
I acted, and behold, Duty was Joy."
–Rabindranath Tagore

"The skepticism about human rationality that science inspires should not be taken as support for authoritarianism or paternalism… On the contrary, it should render questionable all claims to wise and disinterested leadership, including those of America’s own altruistic progressive technocrats who propose policies to “nudge” the unenlightened masses into doing the right thing. It makes more sense to think of our leaders and intellectuals as half-crazed hooting howler monkeys — just like the rest of us."
–Michael Lind, Salon, August 23,2011
“Seeing what isn’t there is half the job of being on the Left. The other half is changing what isn’t there through costly, intrusive, and ill-conceived initiatives (save 10 percent for keeping Charlie Rangel out of trouble).” -Abe Greenberg, October 9, 2009
 “To date, what non-Obama voters see, and fear, is a candidate content to coast to the nomination and then conduct a blandly conservative campaign. They want a more substantive choice than that. They want to have it out over the worth or danger of Barack Obama’s ideas. They want the chance to ratify Washington’s enormous long-term claims on the country’s wealth, or decisively reject them." – Daniel Henninger, WSJ, July 21, 2011

Vice President?

DateFriday, August 29, 2008 at 08:17AM

Well, let me hand it to the McCain campaign.  Everyone is so tight-lipped that the attention of the press seems to be completely on who McCain has picked and no one, no one is talking about the coronation last night.

As of 8:19 CDT, Pawlenty and Romney are out.  Wild speculation about Sarah Palin, who is the antithesis of pretty much everything the Obama-Biden ticket represents.  Young and super conservative: very impressive on paper and about as far "outside Washington" as you can get.  It's 4 a.m. in Alaska, and no one is doing a bed check looking for the Governor.

Compared to Palin, Tom Ridge, who hasn't been ruled out, looks like such a boring, stale choice with the added benefit of alienating the values voters.  He was in Washington early, early this morning.

Meg Whitman: pure disinformation.  She almost has too much experience in the wrong area.  Maybe Secretary of Commerce? 

Joe Lieberman: no sightings of him this morning to confirm his whereabouts, either.  Please, someone tell me he's in Miami.
