The Texas Democratic Strategy: Winnability vs. Values, Karl-Thomas Musselman, Burnt Orange Report
"Maybe it's time to for Texas Democrats to stop searching for nominees based upon this model of "winnability" and instead, search for a nominee based upon our Party's "values"." Their "value" candidates (Van Os etc.) have done far worse than their "winnability" candidates.

Doyle McManus on the 2012 presidential race: GOP wannabes - latimes.com
"People are looking for a new dimension that goes beyond conventional politics," said Eddie Mahe Jr., a former vice chairman of the Republican National Committee. "They're looking for a leader who's going to change things, who can overcome the special interests and pull people together around a common agenda. Trump offers some of that quality." McManus gets the question right, but the answer wrong. Rubio/Ryan 2012.

The Nature of Arab Unrest - Victor Davis Hanson - National Review Online
In such a mess, the challenge for America should have been to prod pro-American authoritarians to reform (but not to abdicate), to support staunchly our very few democratic friends, to oppose publicly anti-American totalitarians, and wherever possible to stay out of intervening militarily, given that no resistance group as of yet has proved democratic, or indeed has even published much of a liberal reform manifesto. Instead, the Obama administration has done exactly the opposite in every case.

The divide for 2012 - NYPOST.com
Blaming a sizable minority is probably not a path to re-election. The Tea Party thrives on emotion, that Pelosi and Obama are dumb enough to continue to stoke that fire speaks volumes.
