Princeton doesn’t look too great either.
Open thread? – here is a ponder- gooper strong push re the Move On ad gave me thought.This structure which the goopers have constructed, admin-> congressional
servants-> media lackeys has been extremely successful. The question is: How can this structure be broken? It appears that the dems have chosen the path of slow -steady and measured attacks as their method.
I think that this approach is not working. If one examines these two opposing approaches, it isn’t hard to come up with the clear and simple picture of one side constantly being on the defensive, finding themselves constantly running from one place to another constantly trying to plug holes.

they should change their logo from the bulldog to the douchebag.
to uncover any of Bush’s classwork at Yale? I’d love to read his papers and see how they were graded. I’ve always thought that for him to have a “C” average his professors had to be very charitable.
All you’d find out from that would be his taste in choosing who he’d hire to do the work.
an “A” student?
C is good enough.

Didn’t I just read that Yale has some humongous pile of cash on hand that they don’t even know what to do with? Whoda thought that selling degrees to morons could be so profitable?
