Musings of a Thoughtful Conservative

• Edwards’ endorsement, Florida and Michigan

  As was most likely the hope all along, it appears as though it won’t make any difference to the Democratic nomination process. With John Edwards endorsing Obama for president, his delegates could now be free to vote for Obama as well as gaining more super delegates. The Clinton campaign is still pushing [...]

Sensenbrenner Watch

• Sensenbrenner meets the enemy, and it's the Assembly GOP

  Republicans are eating their young at the state GOP convention, Mike Mathias says, and who's there to get a big helping but Jim Sensenbrenner. We've got to get our metaphors straight, though. Mathias says Sensenbrenner "threw Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch under a bus" by ripping on him for the budget repair [...]

• Bumper Sticker Writers Convene At Wisconsin GOP Convention

  It looks like the nation's bumper sticker writers somehow got themselves all invited to the state GOP convention, and whatever they came up were rolled into our state Republican party's 2008 platform.
  
  Their grab-bag of platitudinous sloganeering in full, is here.

• Obama’s Book Success

  Ninety percent of the time books by politicians are self-serving tomes aimed to advance a political career. They’re bland to begin with, forgettable, and barely useful in the goal they were written to serve. Andrew Ferguson is more sympathetic:

  Books by presidential candidates are not worthless; they are hurriedly written [...]
