		<description><![CDATA[Tomorrow marks the special election for senate in Massachusetts. After a rather low-key primary, Martha Coakley handily won the Democratic primary. Scott Brown, the Republican candidate, essential went unnoticed until recent polls showed him narrowing Coakley&#8217;s once 20-30% margin to single digits. These trends have continued and any Coakley lead in the polls has completely [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My last post on this blog was over a month ago. Some have criticized me for &#8220;dithering&#8221; while my readers were desperate for new posts. Let me be clear: there was no material before me that could have reasonably been posted before this month. However, after much internal debate and consultation with my advisors, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In winning an argument, it helps to have a position that is proven correct by any evidence. For the Bush administration, it was the war on terror. How could you tell whether the government&#8217;s actions had kept us safe since 9/11? Well, there had been no new terrorist attack, so that was proof enough, right? [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been 80 days since Barack Obama was inaugurated as President. He arrived with untold challenges awaiting him. An economy in a downward spiral. Two wars in disarray. A discouraged population. A failing auto industry. A crumbling housing market. Financial dysfunction so complicated, no one really understands it. Despite this landscape, he promised to bring [...]]]></description>

Polling companies I&#8217;ve never heard of before are coming up with statistic after statistic. Each day, I&#8217;m driven to the latest polls at RCP or Pollster.com to check on what&#8217;s new. The worst are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[29 days to go before the elections and one thing is clear: it&#8217;s not going to be pretty. Sarah Palin kicked it off this weekend by trying to link Obama to William Ayers. Think link is a fairly tenuous one, but crystalizes the McCain strategy for the homestretch: try to raise doubts about Obama&#8217;s character [...]]]></description>
