Today’s Reading List – August 9, 2006

Now they’re just reaching.  The Corner and its readers seem to agree.  Of course, this could go a long way to explaining how Massachusetts became Massachusetts – taking life waaaay too seriously.  Lowell adds:  This is the kind of thing that the news media will start watching for; if they do, before long Romney will be repeatedly described as “gaffe-prone,” or something similar.  The MSM loves stuff like that– especially for Republicans.  He’ll probably keep making jokes; the man is witty.

Speaking of The Corner – they coin “The Romney Effect.”  Now, based on yesterday’s link concluding that health care was not a big issue with the Republican base – is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Speaking of coining phrases – genius, sheer genius.

Lowell raised Romney’s stable marriage as an asset last week.  This blogger on the other hand comes close to stating the issue as a moral imperative for Romey’s election.  I think stability in family is a strong sign of quality leadership, but let’s not forget that “Ronaldus Maximus” (with apologies to Rush) was divorced.  Lowell:  Romney’s strong and long-term is simply an attractive and admirable aspect of the candidate.  He (and his supporters) need to avoid seeming self-righteous about it.
