God's -- and Huckabee's -- Standardsnew
Mike Huckabee said last week he favors amending the U.S. Constitution to bring it in line with "God's standards." That's a big job that would entail adoption of a number of amendments, and since the candidate didn't specify, I thought I'd help him out by recommending a few.

Is South Carolina John Edwards' Last Stand?new
After a poor showing in the Nevada caucus, Edwards limps into this Saturday's South Carolina primary, where polls show him running in the teens, far behind front-runners Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He's in danger of falling below 15 percent there too -- in his native state. But it's not likely he'll quit the race.

It's Time South Carolina Rediscovers John Edwardsnew
In this anti-union, corporate-friendly state, it is unlikely that Edwards can pull an upset Saturday against his two corporate-financed opponents.

Four Fractured Fairy Tales from the Primary Seasonnew
Just before the New Hampshire primaries, former President Bill Clinton said coverage of Barack Obama's record on Iraq equated to a "fairy tale." Little did we know how prophetic that statement would be, not only for Obama, but for any of the three viable candidates looking to clinch the party's nomination.

Stick a Fork in George Allen -- He's Donenew
The one-time high-flying Virginia governor, senator and probable presidential nominee (all until "macaca"), signals the end of his career in politics with a bland, platitude-filled missive declaring that he (quel surprise!) will not re-seek the governorship in 2009.

Who's Afraid of John Edwards?
Mainstream media is giving four to five times more coverage to Obama and Clinton than Edwards, far more than their share of popular support. Their corporate owners have reason to fear him.
