Remains of the Day, 2-2-08, Politics edition


1. Great chart from Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot of congressional resignations and retirements.

2. Former Rhode Island Senator Lincoln Chafee has a memoir coming out and The Carpetbagger Report’s preview makes me very interested in reading it. Chafee is an original to begin with, so that alone might make it worthwhile.

3. The Wall Street Journal’s op-ed, by Dan Gerstein, is just plain off-the-wall. But I bet my dad knows exactly who Gerstein is.

4. Matt Bai in tomorrow’s New York Times on how the current generation rotation isn’t so much different than past ones, though, he seems to say, maybe they could be. I think he’s a little too dark and cynical in this piece, as I find a lot of his columns. They’re intense, but I want a little more light – I bet he can do it, too.

5. Refresher on the restrictions placed on government employees when it comes to political activity.

6. Yeah, so, people running and helping people run for office get tired – do they have back pain too?

7. Factcheck on the Dem debate this past week.
