* Time Editor: Hillary Clinton a ‘Moral Conservative’:
  AMY SULLIVAN: On foreign policy, she is a little more hawkish than the rest of the Democratic Party, and certainly more than the primary base is. It seems that on social issues, by which I mean kind of welfare and economic issues [economic issues are social issues?], she’s fairly liberal. But she’s a moral conservative. Which is to say that she also gets behind, you know, things like values issues. She’s endorsed a plan to lower abortion rates that actually just passed through the House and Senate conference committee this week.

  TUCKER CARLSON: She also has come out in support of partial-birth abortion, against the vast majority of Americans, at least as measured by poll numbers. So that suggests that’s an issue she really believes in.

  SULLIVAN: But she also stood up to the choice community a few years ago and declared that abortion was a tragedy.

  CARLSON: Hmm. Well, that’s not, I mean, her husband has said the same thing. That’s not really standing up.

SULLIVAN: “Safe, legal and rare,” but she was the one who started it, safe, legal and rare first.

* The chinks in Hillary Clinton’s once impenetrable armor have been found:
Hillary’s opponents have been able to link her stand – or lack thereof – on issues to reinforce voter’s doubts about her honesty and electability. Doubts about her positions on Iraq and Iran and her inability to provide straightforward answers on issues such as social security, access to her White House records, and driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants have led to what seems like her first losing media cycle of the campaign. Even her husband – usually a media darling – seemed to stumble as he attempted to defend his wife from ramped up criticism.

What her recent stumbles reveal is that Hillary is vulnerable. She is attempting a precarious balancing act. She needs to attract and hold the support of liberals while at the same time leaving room to move to the center. But this requires a finesse that Hillary, unlike her husband, lacks. Every time she tries to avoid being pinned down on difficult issues like social security, immigration, and taxes she highlights doubts about her honesty and voter’s trust.

A sense for the first time in this election cycle that Mrs. Clinton just may be in a fight, a real one, one she could actually lose – Peggy Noonan:
  Mrs. Clinton’s toughness seems to have no purpose beyond the personal accrual of power. What will she do with the power? Still unclear. It happens to be unclear in the case of several candidates, but with Mrs. Clinton there is a unique chasm between the ferocity and the purpose of the ferocity.

* As long as Mitt Romney keeps America focused on his religion, he may win the upcoming January primaries:
  But as soon as Americans are able to penetrate the religion smokescreen and see his governor’s record, voters may think twice.
  1. Mitt is a liberal. How do you think he got elected to the most left wing state in America?
  2. He’s that liberal?! He gave Massachusetts a socialist government
  3. I thought he was pro-life? Romney’s Massachusetts health care plan says “no.”
  4. But he does stand for family values, right?
  If you think two guys getting married constitutes a family, then yes, he’s into family values.
  5. But he’s a fiscal conservative, right? When it comes to spending money, he is more liberal than Ted K.
  6. But he’ll elect conservative judges, right? Romney loves to preach passionate sermons against “judicial activism.”
  7. Are you saying he can’t be trusted? Ted K called him John Kerry.
  8. Well then, what’s all this about Mitt being the “pragmatic” Republican choice? Ah yes. Keep in mind, pragmatic means “what works.”

* To Ron Paul Supporters: Civility is Essential
  – Unfortunately, there is a segment of the Ron Paul network that has been receiving attention of another nature for quite some time—his avid online “supporters.” I’m not talking about people who simply support Ron Paul. – – I’m talking about the aggressive network of online fans who bombard discussion boards, spam web sites, flood online polls, and behave in a manner that puts their candidate in an extremely bad light. These so-called supporters not only hurt the Republican Party overall, but they also hurt their candidate.
  – They say people are “stupid,” “idiots,” “traitors,” and worse for not supporting Ron Paul.
  – The antics and unprofessional behavior of some of Ron Paul’s supporters have been noted for quite some time.
