Sen. Dick Lugar’s spokesman probably didn’t offer the most helpful response to questions about his boss’s legal residence.
Why Antonin Scalia’s judgment on ritualistic peyote use has birth control rule supporters smiling.
At the big annual conservative bash, base GOPers express frustration and dejection over lame primary field.
From my pal Nell Scovell: “Instead of Firing Up The Base, Romney Mistakenly Fires The Base.”
You can actually work with it. Maybe: “After failing to fire up the base, a frustrated Romney decides to fire the base.”

Who hasn’t heard the one about an Oregon state Senator who runs a paramilitary training camp getting sued by his partners for allegedly funneling cash to GOP candidates.

I saw the news this evening from PPP that their first night in the field with a new national poll has Rick Santorum as the new nationwide leader.

But of course this isn’t about Rick Santorum who is clearly a 2nd or 3rd tier candidate, it’s showing the depth of Romney’s weakness as a candidate — both as a candidate in this particular political moment and simply as a candidate for office in general.

I feel like Champollion deciphering hieroglyphics.
