It's the Puppy Tactic. And the head-scarf tactic.
How JFK's assassination changed things. Driscoll. Related, from a piece on patriotism at Powerline:
One of the basic problems faced by liberals, and the reason why they tend to get sensitive whenever the subject of patriotism comes up, is that a large majority of Americans share the conservatives' view of their country. Rasmussen Reports adds up the numbers: 75% of respondents are proud of America's history, while 13% are ashamed of it. 64% say the U.S. is a positive role model for human rights.
As always, these numbers break down quite differently based on party affiliation. 91% of Republicans are proud of our country's history, compared to 64% of Democrats. Not surprisingly, there is also a racial divide: 81% of white respondents, but only 44% of African-Americans, are proud of America's history. (It would be interesting to see the breakdown for other races, but for some reason Rasmussen doesn't provide it.)
Marry "Mr. Good Enough"? Single, and turning 30.
It's about time: McCain shakes up campaign. Related: Prager on Why I Support McCain. I agree with most of that.
Lefties go bonkers as Obama slips and slides towards the center. Also, Obama's Chicago deals.
