I am always one step behind the great Mollie Hemingway. I post my piece, and I see hers is already there.

I meant convictions, of course, in the positive sense for Senator Lieberman. I have adjusted the headline to clarify.

Gabriel Sullice: I'm not sure how useful that conclusion is. It is very likely that if Mitt Romney lost Ohio, he very well might not win the other states necessary to put him over the top, i.e., the same fervor not felt in Ohio in that scenario would cause him to lose PA, IA, &c. · 3 minutes ago

I don't disagree with what you're saying. I am just betting that Romney's victory tomorrow night won't turn on Ohio alone.

DocJay: My hope as well.   I expect both paths to bear fruit.   · 2 minutes ago

There's comfort in numbers.

Western Chauvinist: I've listened to Candy Crowley with Hugh Hewitt a few times. I think conservatives are making a mistake panning her before the debate. If she acts out, then fair enough. But, she seems very fair and self-disciplined on Hugh's show.

Also, through a few degrees of separation, someone who knows her says she's fiscally conservative although socially liberal. Sounds just like the Massachusetts liberals I once worked with who consistently voted for Republican governors like -- Mitt Romney! · 4 minutes ago

Just to be clear, I am not panning her. If she follows Lehrer's example, I will have no complaints.

Someone once described the Personal Memoirs of U.S. Grant as one of those books that people claim to have read without having even opened it. If that's true, it's a shame because Grant's book is a national treasure.

Albert Arthur: "You're likable enough" lost Obama the New Hampshire primary. I don't think it's that odd to include. Why did you think it was strange, Jonathan? · 8 hours ago

I don't think a moment from a Democratic primary debate belongs on the top ten list given that the primary debates have such a smaller audience than the general election debates. But that's just one man's opinion.

ConservativeWanderer: I must admit, Mr. Romney has good taste in books. I've always enjoyed Mr. McCullough's book on John Adams. · 18 minutes ago

If you haven't already, be sure to read Truman... it's even better. · 1 minute ago

Just what I need, more books added to my reading pile. ;) · Sep 24 at 9:24am

I know how you feel! It never seems to get smaller.

I liked Vice President Cheney's line to Senator Edwards in 2004: "Now, in my capacity as vice president, I am the president of Senate, the presiding officer. I'm up in the Senate most Tuesdays when they're in session. The first time I ever met you was when you walked on the stage tonight."

Andrew Barrett: Here is when the 1984 presidential election ended. · 5 minutes ago

Thanks for sharing this. Here's the moment when Vice President Gore walked over to soon-to-be President George W. Bush.

Here's how The Onion responded on Twitter.

Eeyore:“There was a feeling of ‘we ain’t gonna be behind the curve on this again,’ "

No, but when you Lead From Behind, that's the only place on the curve one could possibly find oneself. · 29 minutes ago

Well, that says it all.

Redneck Desi: But does that soft spot for Adams extend to the Alien and Sedition Acts... · 16 minutes ago

Despite all the problems with the media this campaign cycle, I think we can assume the answer to this question is a solid no.

Jonathan Horn
smp16: I've always had a soft spot for John Adams. I'm glad to see Romney does as well. · 10 hours ago

Agreed, and all the more fitting because Adams, of course, hailed from Massachusetts.

Meant to include this great Lincoln quotation in my comment above: "In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free."
