Of (George W.) Bush, it may be said he was a far better politician and candidate than his father, but as a statesman and world leader, he could not carry the old man’s loafers.
Was it:
A. Chris Matthews
B. John Murtha
C. Dick Morris
D. Pat Buchanan

Former White House press secretary Scott McClellan will apparently say ANYTHING to sell his new book — “What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington’s Culture of Deception.”
So, which is is Scott?

OR
“He (again, President Bush) […]

That’s not my prediction. It’s Robert Novak’s at the Evans-Novak Political Report, and it’s pretty interesting.
Two-hundred-70 is, of course, the minimum number needed to win the White House outright, so Novak sees a nail-biter ahead.
The prediction’s strong suit is Novak’s experienced gut; its weakness, being based also on recent polls, which can shift a lot […]

I have reposted the link for Bill Neff’s campaign site for the 13th District state Senate seat representing Lancaster City, its suburbs and just about everywhere south, plus parts of eastern York County.

Two jurors, including the forewoan who had to tell the judge that Levi Stoltzfoos was found guilty in a Lancaster courtroom yesterday, were near tears.
