  Unease with the GOP over on The Corner - Statements like this one over on the National Review's The Corner should cause some unease over at the RNC (or at least among those operatives who are worried about more than the next 5 months.) Conservatives are really starting to question this administration, and the Republican leadership in Congress, not only over a whole range of issues, but more specifically about what type of government they are running now that they have control of the two elected branches.

I don't think that this increasing unease will be that costly come this November, but the demoralization of the conservative base is a very serious problem. It is even more damming for a party that came to power in 1994 on the platform that it would change the way things work in Washington. Now, 10 years later, what has changed? There has been some tinkering around the edges, a few social agenda issues have been addressed, but government is bigger, the budget deficit is back and growing, and the party leadership is sounding the same as the Democratic leadership (circa 1990) by attacking anyone who doesn't hew to the party line.  ¶ 12:06 PM

  Jon Stewart's Graduation Address to William and Mary - Unsurprisingly, his speech is pretty funny.  ¶ 9:47 AM

  Kerry's VP Pick This poll from North Carolina is just one more reason that John Edwards must be on the very short list fro the VP nomination. The poll finds that Edwards makes North Carolina a toss-up, at least right now.

In my mind there are only two candidates that Kerry should consider: Edwards and Evan Bayh from Indiana.   ¶ 9:11 AM
