My old college classmate Brian McGrory, who has been a columnist and editor at The Boston Globe for many years, takes some well justified shots at Martha Coakley for her campaign strategy, which is to avoid campaigning. I saw a Coakley ad on TV this morning, the first one I have seen since the primary. Perhaps her people are beginning to worry a bit about the poll numbers which show Massachusetts residents just as steamed about the way things are going in the country as everybody else, which might cause them to pause before pulling the lever for a Democrat this time around.

Blogger Jules Crittenden also comments on the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts and the seeming hostility shown by the normally Liberal Globe against Coakley.

Here is another story about Democrats in fear of losing Congress this November.

Dick Morris and Eileen McGann liken the burst of Democratic retirements to the flu. It's contagious.

Morris, writing solo this time, also believes that the era of the 'moderate' Democrat is coming to an end, as voters will recognize their 'moderation' simply leads to more power for Liberals like Reid and Pelosi, which will cause those voters to turn the 'moderate' Democrats out in favor of Republicans.

The Democratic Governor of Colorado joins the exodus.

Ralph Peters writes about a scathing new report concerning our failed intelligence gathering apparatus in Afghanistan, and Peters says the report does not get to the real problem.

Another new report says one in five released Gitmo detainees go back to terrorism.

Victor Davis Hanson, who is a Classical Historian, says the year 2010 may join years like 1939 as a year of decision.

Here is something that I cannot ever remember doing...urging you to read a column by Al Sharpton. He is taking to task all those African-American athletes and celebrities who, by their words and actions, are providing young African-Americans exactly the wrong kind of role model. I was even more heartened by the fact that he admitted his own role in letting this trend go on for so long.
