In case you missed the announcement, this weekend was the kick-off to Josh Marshall Hunting Season. (See examples here and here, in addition to Josh’s own site below.)

Kerry trying to play Bartlett?

Kerry’s at it again — a second “mistake” on a mic after an interview concluded? This isn’t a great tactic, Senator Kerry. If you’ve got something on your mind, come out and say it.

It made good TV on The West Wing a few years back: remember when President Bartlett claimed he wasn’t aware that the […]

Burlington is the place to be these days, isn’t it?

2004: 1972 or 1968?

Enough already. The “Dean is McGovern” meme just won’t die, which is really code for “he’s too liberal and he’ll lose everywhere just like McGovern did in ’72.”

I think these analogies are off by a few years.

At the 1968 Democratic Convention, party bosses controlled the nomination process, resulting in Humphrey’s nomination. This infuriated the grassroots […]
