Nate Silver has a fascinating analysis of the Daily Kos poll of Republicans–the bottom line, when looking at the cross-tabs, is that Republican attitudes are consistent throughout the country. In other words, they aren’t more extreme in the south, just more plentiful. This could have interesting consequences in other parts of the country, where Republicans [...]
Sure, it’s improbable, but — as Charlie Cook points out in my new time.com story out this morning — it’s now mathematically possible.

The coolest part of the whole thing is [...]
Over the weekend, Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins gave a pretty blistering address on behalf of her party. It included this charge: The Obama administration appears to have a blind spot when it comes to the War on Terrorism.
