Tuesday, August 12, 2003It's a Detroit dance party, baby! Michael McDonald's new collection of Motown hits is one of the best I've ever heard. In the two weeks since I've gotten it, I've probably listened to the whole thing 100 times. Of the 14 songs, half are by either Marvin Gaye or Stevie Wonder, including a joyful version of Wonder's "Too High", a gorgeous "All In Love Is Fair", and deeply sensual covers of Gaye's "I Want You" and "Distant Lover."

My big fat mea culpa. I haven't decided to vote for Howard Dean, but after 10 days watching his campaign, I promise never to say he's unelectable again. [Salon.com]

As Campaign Tightens, Kerry Sharpens Message [NY Times]
Mr. Kerry's focus on Dr. Dean reflects the fact that each views the other as his biggest threat in New Hampshire because they live in adjoining states. And if advisers to Mr. Kerry and Dr. Dean agree on anything, it is that they would like to see this sprawling nine-candidate race reduced to a two-way contest.
At this still early date, most of the mainstream media is declaring this a contest between these two candidates. In general, that alone would be enough to make me highly skeptical. But I fail to see any scenario, barring some major screwup, that will make it any different.
