Good article.

There are, of course, conservative ideologues and political junkies...

And these are the most pathetic people I know.

Sitting for hours on end in front of a computer screen, Irish whiskey and fine cigar in hand, posting comments to political websites, uploading unflattering pictures of tofu-munching Democrats and making smartass observations about self-centered, dimwitted and laughable leftists and liberals is hardly a productive way to spend one's down time.

I'm just grateful I'm not one of these pathetic slobs.

"Because he is not an ideologue, Mr. Bush is unlikely overreach, so he won't flame out in the heat of his own success.."

A major typo on this portion of the article, but you get the message. On the other hand, lib/dems don't get this message and want everyone to fear Bush, think he is a right-wing freak, and one who is always overreaching in his bloodthirst. They'll just never get it that there never really was a 'man from Hope'....but there is a real 'man from Midland'......

[ffrancone]

Me too. It would be terrible.

[anniegetyourgun]

Awful.....pass the whiskey.

"I'm just grateful I'm not one of these pathetic slobs."

Me, too. Care for some more whiskey?

[SamAdams76]

Me too. If I ever get that way, just shoot me.

[ChadGore]

Unbearable . . are those cuban ?

[Dallas]

You have truly set a standard that the rest of should try and follow.

I wished I knew how to thank you, but words fail me...

[anniegetyourgun]

Careful, if we get drunk enough, we just might. And I'm a pretty good shot....

Good article Knighthawk.

[knighthawk]

Yes, National Post strikes again!

Because he is not an ideologue, Mr. Bush is unlikely overreach, so he won't flame out in the heat of his own success, as Newt Gingrich did.

His dad isn't an ideologue and he sure didn't overreach, but he flamed out nonetheless.

When will conservatives learn not to count their burgers before they're built? There's no guarantee we'll be in charge of anything in two years.

Me too. If I ever get that way, just shoot me.

Feel the same way, brother.

Got another one of those stogies? Pass the decanter this way, please.

[CyberAnt]

It's funny that the word overreach is being used. It must be on the recent talking points.

While watching FOX today, a dem from NY, Rep Eliot Engel made the following statement: "Republicans have to be careful and not overreach".

Hmmmm?

[dixiechick2000]

WOW! Nice one, knighthawk!

I love this publication. Too bad about their military, though...

[MagnoliaMS]

I'll pass on the stogie; just pass the decanter.

Five times as many registered Democrats as Republicans live in Maryland

Actually, Democrats outnumber Republicans in Maryland by a little less than 2 to 1 (according to the Maryland Board of Elections web site.)

Even 2 to 1 makes Ehrlich's victory impressive, but why is it that the press can't get even the most basic facts right?
