The Buckley Rule Is Not A Rule
Prior to last week, when is the last time anyone heard of the "Buckley Rule," a supposed prescription by William F. Buckley, Jr.?  Now it is all the rage for pundits whose man in Delaware lost.

Why Hollywood Should Be Afraid of Netflix ... Very Afraid

How Democrats can win Murkowski's Senate seat now
Let's get the obvious out of the way first: There is just about no reason in any election year to believe a Democrat has a shot at winning a Senate seat in Alaska -- let alone in 2010, when a powerful anti-Democratic tide seems likely to turn the state, already one of the nation's most Republican-friendly, even more red. That's why when Sen. Lisa Murkowski, after suffering a stunning loss to Tea Party favorite Joe Miller in the August 24 GOP primary, decided against seeking a Third Party...

If Republicans want to defund the Affordable Care Act in 2011 — and it's their highest priority — shutting down the government is the only way to go. So...
