		<description><![CDATA[Mitt Romney won a big victory in Florida yesterday, although in such a crucial and competitive contest it&#8217;s noteworthy that turnout was down 12% from four years ago. It&#8217;s evidence (if needed, I guess) that voters are being turned off by the fractiousness and pettiness of the campaign, and are uninspired by the candidates from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Elliott Abrams should be deeply ashamed of himself, and ought to apologize, for his distorted slur against Newt Gingrich which was published by NRO the other day. The editors of NRO should also be ashamed. Jeffrey Lord at the The American Spectator exposes just how distorted were Abrams&#8217; allegations that Newt Gingrich slammed Reagan and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It can really take one&#8217;s breath away to see the explosion of hits and hit pieces on Newt Gingrich&#8212;from Republicans and/or conservatives&#8212;in the past 48 hours. (The Drudge Report has played a big role in marshaling and promoting the links and stories.) It&#8217;s not news that Newt Gingrich is less than perfect, and although I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last night&#8217;s GOP debate in Tampa probably did not shift things dramatically. Neither &#8220;frontrunner&#8221; had a particularly great night, so I guess NBC and Brian Williams were the winners, for their assist in having the candidates make each other look bad. Rick Santorum had a reasonably strong night, but I don&#8217;t know that it&#8217;s going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love Mark Steyn. Of-course. But his response over at NRO&#8216;s The Corner to Newt Gingrich&#8217;s victory in the South Carolina primary mystifies me. Like a lot of what I&#8217;m reading and hearing from people I normally respect in conservative pundit circles, it comes across as a pained exercise in peddling total illogic. He does, [...]]]></description>
