Spunky Homeschool on Huckabee and Homeschoolers
by Ned Ryun
I alluded to Spunky Homeschool's blogs on Huckabee and homeschooling and figure it deserves a separate posting. Having been at HSLDA, I enjoyed the fact that she made it quite obvious the discrepancy between HSLDA's strong stances against Huckabee's legislation, and then its endorsement of him. I would encourage everyone, homeschooler or not, to read the Spunky Homeschool blogs. If nothing else, they show what Huckabee is all about.
The Case for Immoral Politicians

Flashback: The Real John McCain
by Patrick Ruffini
In preparation for a John McCain presidential run, I clipped out what is perhaps the seminal article on McCain's transformation from a Goldwater conservative to a maverick quasi-Democrat during the 2000 campaign and the early Bush years. Jonathan Chait's assessment of just how far McCain had gone to the left in the April 29, 2002 issue of The New Republic stood out even at the time. I Googled it a few years later, and saved the full text. It is no longer available on TNR's website.

by Paul Krugman
Yesterday The Times published a highly informative chart laying out the positions of the presidential candidates on major issues. It was, I'd argue, a useful reality check for those who believe that the next president can somehow usher in a new era of bipartisan cooperation.
