    Rudy a Lefty?  Yeah, Right.  [WaPo]    It starts out like this: "If you like President Bush, you'll love a President Giuliani."  And it's worth reading on - namely because half the people I know who have spent the last eight years viciously complaining have actually said they wouldn't mind a President Giuliani.  As a New Yorker, the whole idea of it makes me shiver.  And this strange split is just what David Greenberg picked up on.  "You wouldn't know it from reading the papers, but the favorite to...

    Watching Mike Huckabee address the crowd at the 2007 Values Voter’s Summit felt like one of those moments in life when a person wholly finds their element, sort of like how it must have been when Pasteur finally stopped the milk from turning in that French laboratory or right before Daniel crane-kicked Johnny at the end of The Karate Kid. Mike Huckabee not only belonged in that precise moment, he completely owned it – and from the second he opened his strange little mouth, you knew he could not...

    Sunday Show Roundup: GOP '08: Feel the Excitement!!!

    Tomorrow night the Republican presidential candidates will debate in Dearborn, Michigan - the first debate of the full Fred-Thompson-included GOP field. With Thompson's feeble performance on the campaign trail thus far, Rudy Giuliani's fundamental obstacles in winning over the religious right wing of the party, and Mitt Romney's, well, chronic Mitt Romneyism, we thought we'd check the enthusiasm temperature of the Republican party. Catch the GOP '08...

    The Muck Gap Methodology

    In last Thursday's episode of TPMtv we explored the striking disparity in the number of scandal and muck cases between Democrats and Republicans. The GOP maintains the overwhelming advantage, which is extraordinary considering its minority status in congress. After receiving a welter of viewer mail about the names we included on our list we take a moment today to elucidate our methodology and even add a couple names we missed the first go around.

    The Muck Gap

    Okay, it's the unreported political story of the year: the GOP's ability to dominate scandal news even while in the minority. Usually, the majority party, with more power and money, takes the scandal cake. It's almost an iron law of politics. But whether it's lobby shop or the restroom, the GOP has so far been able to reverse the historical tide, maintaining a decisive muck advantage even in the political wilderness.
