Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Obligatory Friday Post

Nana-nana-nana-nana FATMAN!

I've spent most if my internet time today chortling over the firing of Larry Parrish as hitting coach.

Nevertheless here is Kos on polling this early in a race:

If you don't want to click through, just note that Wes Clark did not get the nomination in 2004 and we were denied the spectacle of a Clinton-Guiliani tilt in 2008.

This sort of feeds into the Christie speculation.  He will never be as popular as the day he announces that he runs (should he do so).  He will then begin the inevitable diminishing.

Well, OK, Christie could use a little diminishing, if you know what I mean...
