Mike Gravel announced his candidacy quite a while back...can Joe Biden really overcome Gravel's head start?
Last night C-SPAN re-aired the memorial service for John Kenneth Galbraith, held on May 31. Most of the speakers were liberals but William F. Buckley, Jr., was one of them. George McGovern spoke at considerable length, mostly about some encounters with Galbraith when McGovern was a freshman member of the House of Representatives back in the 1950s...he hasn't aged much in appearance or speaking style...still the old Scoutmaster, oozing earnestness.
