While the so-called GOP opinion leaders wax on about how super-electable he is, they fail to recognize that it is precisely that logic that gave us the unelectable John McCain. Turnout wins elections these days, not appeals to the independent voter.

At the last moment, the German soldier sees his attacker. “Wait,” he cries out in a passable accent, “Ich bin an […]
