York does a tactical analysis. Bottom line: Romney is like a doctor using massive doses of chemotherapy and radiation to kill a cancer -- the Gingrich threat -- but trying to spare the patient, which is his own candidacy. It might be close by the time this is all over.
And a reprise of Kraut's theme: Romney's message remains the weakest part of his candidacy. And that means, despite his skill with attack ads and in debate, his campaign could still face substantial obstacles. "At bottom the Newt insurgency is fueled by the sense that Mr. Romney's tepid policy agenda reflects no fixed beliefs," the Wall Street Journal editorial page's William McGurn wrote Tuesday. "In fact, it's telling that Mr. Romney's GOP rivals are defined as non-Romneys, each standing for something lacking in the front-runner."
That "something lacking" problem has not been fixed.

High anxiety: things have deteriorated from feisty to primal?
Lowry: the Persians at Marathon, the French at Agincourt, the Zulus at Rorke's Drift.
Geography vs ideology? An interesting question from a statistical viewpoint.
Jonah Goldberg has some misgivings...

The integrity of NRO at Lowry's hands.

Why? What could be possibly go wrong with Harvard's Idiocracy??
