Right Hook
O'Reilly gets medieval on NPR's Terry Gross, and David "don't-hate-Bush" Brooks celebrates the Northeast's hate-filled baseball fans. Plus: Arnold makes the GOP "hip."
The Dems want a War Admiral, while the GOP longs for a Terminator
If Bush keeps evaporating in the polls, look for Karl to play the Rudy card.
Right Hook
Did Dems conspire to take down both Arnold and Rush? The right gropes for the moral high ground on the recall, bemoans Limbaugh's worst week, and dissects Bush's woes.
A warrior for peace
Why Wesley Clark could be an Eisenhower for our time.
Right Hook
National Review pundits go on the defensive over CIA-gate, Krauthammer sizes up the Bush haters, and Suzanne Fields hopes macho Arnold can halt the "homosexualizing" of America.
Right Hook
New York Post's Ralph Peters tags Wesley Clark a softy on terror, while Coulter sees a devious Hillary plot.
Iraq is not Vietnam
The antiwar left shows a troubling indifference to the plight of Iraqis -- and flirts with irrelevance -- by demanding that President Bush bring the troops home now.
Wes Clark's bad day
He mangled his position on the congressional Iraq resolution, and when the going got tough, he summoned a press aide with a cry of "Mary, help!" Tell me again why this guy should make Howard Dean and John Kerry quake in their boots?
Can John Kerry turn it around?
His campaign's in disarray, his message is muddled, and the media has narrowed its focus to Wesley Clark vs. Howard Dean. But backers insist the combat veteran is ready for a long battle.
Wesley Clark: The new Howard Dean?
The former Vermont governor is the front-runner, but some Democratic insiders wonder if the retired general has a better chance of beating Bush.
Joe Conason's Journal
While Wesley Clark may discombobulate the Democrats, his ambitions will scarcely be pleasing to the president and Karl Rove -- especially in light of their own recent lousy polling.
The Wes wing?
Supporters say Wesley Clark can do to Bush what he did to Milosevic. But first the telegenic military hero has to take on Howard Dean.
The people's choice
Who is your favorite presidential candidate? Send us your thoughts.
Bush's stealth attack on the atmosphere
The same administration that denies global warming now wants to dramatically increase the use of an ozone-eating chemical. Agribusiness is very happy.
Ariel Sharon's toughest battle?
With the Israeli prime minister facing tough criminal investigations, the Mideast cease-fire serves his political needs very well -- for now.
My big fat mea culpa
I haven't decided to vote for Howard Dean, but after 10 days watching his campaign, I promise never to say he's unelectable again.
California Democrats' days of chaos
Top state and national Democrats have insisted they will back Gov. Gray Davis against the recall. But their unity is quickly dissolving.
The poseur in chief
Democrats can't win in '04 by fighting Bush on the issues alone. They have to convince Americans that their warrior president is a phony in a flyboy suit.
The Democratic Weaselship Council
If Democratic centrists want to repeat Bill Clinton's success, they should stop attacking fellow Democrats as "far left" and concentrate on uniting the party against Bush.
Life of the party?
The conservative wing of the Democratic Party calls him another McGovern -- but Howard Dean might be more in touch with today's electorate than his critics.
John Kerry turns the fire hoses on Bush
It was billed as a blazing attack on the president's national security policies. But the Democratic contender's New York speech was tougher on Bush's firefighters budget than on his growing Iraq debacle. .
The Democrats' brewing civil war
Deans, Greens and liberals say the party needs to scream the anti-Bush truth at the American people. New-Democratic centrists say Americans just aren't that left-leaning. The schism is wide, and it's going to get wider.
The trouble with Howard Dean
As a social liberal and fiscal moderate, he's lured students, professionals and the antiwar left. But he's more George McGovern than Bill Clinton.
Joe Conason's Journal
MoveOn.org's online presidential poll offers good news to Dean and Kucinich -- and a silver lining for Kerry.
Joe Conason's Journal
MoveOn.org's Internet presidential poll isn't a true primary. But is it important? Absolutely.
