Come on Andrew
Obama Is Bad At Politics? - The Dish | By Andrew Sullivan - The Daily Beast: "Obama never had to fight for and win the votes of people who don’t agree with him. "
You mean like the middle of the country in 2008? He is the best politician we have had in my lifetime and I was born in 1936. All the Andrew Sullivan arguments could be applied to FDR. Pretty good company for Obama to be in. I have downgraded Clinton some (Bill) because he caved where Obama is not caving. Andrew will sing a different song twelve months hence.

Dems Will Likely Control House Come 2012
A Fierce Battle Ahead for the House - NYTimes.com: "More than 100 Democratic candidates from more than 60 districts in 36 states will gather in Washington on Wednesday for a day of in-house discussions, training and boosterism.
Democratic officials say the gathering is evidence of the enthusiastic response they have gotten as they recruit candidates. They say the sheer number of candidates gives them a better than even chance of winning a net gain of 25 seats to take back control."
How 'bout certainty. If polls showing about 90 percent approval for Dem ideas are accurate, it's bye bye wingnuts, hello sanity. Someone should knock Cantor out for good measure. Supercilious we do not need going forward.

This retro NYT piece flags the apex of visionlessness
Russia's aesthetic revolution: How Soviet building still influences today's architects - Architecture, Arts & Entertainment - The Independent: "In the courtyard of London's Royal Academy of Arts stands the 20th century's most avant-garde strand of architectural genetics. The veering red spiral, intersected by a girder jutting through it like a rocket launcher, is a copy of the original model of the Monument to the Third International, designed by Vladimir Tatlin in 1920. Had it been built to its intended scale as the headquarters of the Communist party, it would have dwarfed the Eiffel Tower. In a world awash with "iconic" architecture, nothing comes even close to radiating the raw potency of this truly revolutionary form."
Nobody is designing for a time when roads and oil and cars will all be part of the history we want to forget. And if function really does follow form, this retro NYT piece flags the apex of visionlessness, hardly an influence one would wish to emulate.
