Fred Thompson mops up the floor with Hillary (and other Dems) in Tennessee. Giuliani and Romney don’t fare so well (and I suspect that this will be true in the south in general).
This seems like an interesting harbinger to me. Does it mean that as the rest of the country gets to know him as well as Volunteers do, that his polls will improve similarly?

In further Thompson news, here are some reported excerpts from a speech on the war that he just gave at The Citadel.
Patrick Ruffini writes that the Clinton administration would have been much less effective in its perfidy and corruption had blogs existed at the time. I’d go (and have gone) further than that. Had the blogosphere existed in anything resembling its current form in 1992, he couldn’t have been elected. But the web didn’t exist in any useful form fifteen years ago.

There’s no way countries that are growing their economies the most will agree to stringent caps on carbon dioxide emissions based on historical levels. This historical-cap framework rewards the countries that have shrinking populations and manufacturing. Instead Canada (as also noted in today’s WSJ) and others are focusing on CO2 intensity. E.g., how much CO2 is produced per kwh of electricity generated or per barrel of oil pumped? These are measures that don’t hurt production and labor mobility. Some say they don’t have bite. But if a CO2 reduction policy bites too much (pun intended)–especially in a way that caps economic growth–then the growing polluting countries will ignore it.
The Dems are not just stuck on stupid, but apparently stuck in 2006, or earlier, a world in which (at least in their minds) the war was lost, and in which the world hates America.
Well, the war isn’t lost, and it turns out that if one looks at the reality, all the supposed America-hating is yesterday’s story as well:
The Democratic Party talking point is that Bush turned the

From John Leo:
“Hundreds of pages, without exception, are about how to indoctrinate students,” school of education professor Jan Blits told the campus student paper, the Review. “What’s surprising is how open they are about it.” Blits acquired the papers from the residence life program by simply asking for them. Kathleen Kerr, the director of residential life for the university “was so proud of the program she just handed them over,” he said. Blits, head of the university’s chapter of the National Association of Scholars, and another professor at the school of education, Linda Gottfredson, have been cooperating with FIRE to get the story out. Gottfredson said: “Residential Life has the whole person and they try to change beliefs – the heart and soul of a person – which is exactly what totalitarian institutions do. This is a national issue and FIRE is not finished.”
Yes, of course they’re proud of the program. They’re just upset that anyone else sees anything wrong with it. After all, why should they have any shame in teaching students “correct” thoughts? Isn’t that their job as educators?
Such self righteousness is how totalitarians get to be totalitarians.
