Welcome to the January 13, 2008 edition of carnival of political punditry. I did have some time to get a decent read of many of the articles that were submitted. I moved all of the Presidential Campaign posts to the top. While I’m thinking about it, don’t forget to see Troy’s most recent article “Would JFK Be Relevant Today?” He discusses how both parties have left the ideals of this President in the past.

DWSUWF presents Announcing: Disunity08 posted at Divided We Stand United We Fall, saying, “From the beginning Unity08 was indeed a Mike Bloomberg stalking horse, funded and staffed by Bloomberg loyalists. They couldn’t pull off the Bloomberg run within the Unity08 structure, so they closed up shop to make room for the imminent Bloomberg Independent candidacy, redirecting management and money resources to the impending campaign.”

Here’s why Dr. Paul deserves the honor.”

The rest are mixed, but I was happy to see a good number of articles here written from a more conservative view. This is a conservative blog, but I do usually get a high number of articles from the left. This is a good mix today.
