A lot of Democrats are scared. Especially Democrats who were alive in 1972. Maybe that is why there is such a huge disparity between the under 45 and over 45 in the current Democratic Primary. For some reason that 1972 was so scary, so scarring and so...

American voters chose Gore over Bush, and Clinton over Trump in the popular vote. Perhaps most Americans don’t see that as a failure of our democratic system, because the winner of the popular vote has won the presidency 54 times out of 58. But a new...

I spent most of 2015 and part of 2016 hoping Joe Biden would jump into the race for President. Clinton, I believed, would lose. I wanted to be wrong about that, but as someone related to a number of conservative voters, I saw, first hand, the shear...

I’m your typical (educated) “fiscal conservative/social liberal” technocrat (so Gore and Bloomberg would be my top two obviously but I like Al Gore more). I like JFK and Lincoln over Woodrow Wilson and Teddy by far. People with bold social plans that...

I was always curious about this: Do you think that Bush v. Gore (2000) was genuinely as bad as its critics say it was?
Basically, while I think that this decision was partisan, I can’t help but wonder if a conscientious judge could have likewise...
