Frank Rich makes me happy today. I’m not going to crunch his numbers, but the simple use of a heart in his title is enough to make me swoon. This passage helps too: 

The only figure in the McCain camp who has candidly acknowledged any glitches is his mother, the marvelous 96-year-old Roberta McCain. Back in January she said that she didn’t think her son had any support in the G.O.P. base and that those voters would only take him if “holding their nose.”          

Sigh. My heart fills with progressive warmth. In other news, I write from the lovely Montague Mill, cup of coffee and thesis reading in hand.  Hope AmhPub is keeping you all as distracted as it is me!Love,Scott
