Good Monday Reads

In a “linker” sort of mood… couldn’t help but do my part to make sure readers who stumble my way take a look at the following articles also posted on Real Clear Politics:

Michael Barone, pre-eminent political analyst, tells the Bush administration to look into the latest scholarly contributions on non-violent protest to find another means to help bring down the Axis of Evil.

John Fund at Opinion Journal has a great piece titled “How Daschle Got Blogged.” Fund continues to be one of the big fans of new media and its potential. (If you don’t believe me, check out the quote at the top of the page.)

In his piece, Fund highlights the creation of a new political blog in anticipation of the 2006 Minnesota Senate race between Democrat incumbent Mark Dayton and Republican Rep. Mark Kennedy: Dayton v. Kennedy. Operated by a conservative pre-marital counselor / homeschool father from the Twin Cities, this blog has the potential to follow in the great line of Daschle v. Thune and, of course, Salazar v. Coors. We just wish more success to Mr. Kennedy than Mr. Coors had.
