Political Wire: "A new 'Affective Encryption Analysis' study conducted by Media Psychology Affiliates is predicting with '93% accuracy' that 'a landslide victory for former Democratic Vice President Al Gore in the 2008 presidential election. However, should Hillary Clinton gain the Democratic nomination, any potential Republican challenger will win the presidency.'"

Andrew Sullivan: "You have in this a classic example of the distinction between conservatism and fundamentalism. Conservatism seeks to govern society as it is and as it evolves. It allows for diversity and federalism and local rule. Instead of demonizing minorities, conservatives seek ways to integrate and include them and foster responsibility among them. Fundamentalists, in contrast, begin with an a priori religious deduction - homosexuality is Biblically or 'naturally' wrong and homosexuals as such do not exist - and proceed to enforce that view on everyone."

Daily Kos: "When people look at the GOP field for 2008, they worry about McCain or Allen or even Romney. You want to know who the strongest GOP candidate would be, the one that would make me lose sleep at night? Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The guy is a scary good politician and the more Republican voters see him around the country, the more support he'll get."

Echoing the Wash Park Prophet's sentiments, David Harsanyi blasts Unity08 in his column in today's Denver Post. He writes, "Well, it might as well be Kumbaya. The quixotic third-party candidate has done little more than sink a couple of major- party candidates. Ralph Nader and the Green Party, ironically enough, helped undercut Al Gore's hopes in 2000, while Ross Perot and United We Stand America stuck it good to George Bush I in 1992. I've thrown my vote away on a third- party candidate, too - just for kicks. Wasting your vote can be quite liberating, but let's acknowledge it serves no practical purpose other than spoiling someone else's fun. So what is the point of Unity08? Jonas tells me that perhaps an independent might throw his (or her) hat in the ring. This person will be preferable to the candidates selected by the 'fringe of the party' - Democrat or Republican. This candidate, he hopes, will focus on issues that are actually 'important and crucial.'"
