Explaining my RNC grades
ST. PAUL--In an email, a DQM reader takes vigorous issue with my assessment of Mitt Romney's speech to the RNC: A B-plus my ass! You won't see or hear a worse speech all year than Mitt's. I was sitting on my couch practically covering my eyes...

Sarah Palin, intentional martyr?

Sarah Palin, intentional martyr?
ST. PAUL--Like conspiracy theories? Try this one: John McCain’s selection of Sarah Palin wasn’t the result of poor vetting or poor judgment. Instead, it was a crafty, forward-thinking move aimed at turning Palin into a martyr and then using her martyrdom...

Ugliness in St. Paul, then calm

Who's playing politics with Gustav?

Who's playing politics with Gustav?

Any RNC requests?

Any RNC requests?
Now that my colleague David Bernstein is done rocking Denver , I'm heading to my native city of St. Paul to monitor the GOP's proceedings. Hence, a query for readers: are there any RNC subplots you'd especially like covered? If so, please...
