Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Will Fox Ask Paul About The Newsletters In Tonight's Debate?

(Captain's Quarters) - Fox News will broadcast another debate with the Republican presidential candidates tonight, and will include Ron Paul in this edition. Paul and his supporters bitterly complained about the network's exclusion in their debate last week, but may not enjoy the scrutiny Paul might receive after the exposure of the contents of his newsletter by The New Republic.

From National Review Online:

What Happened to the revolution in New Hampshire?

I had thought Ron Paul's fifth place finish in New Hampshire, with 8 percent of the vote, was pretty lousy. I mean, he had gotten 10 percent in Iowa, which looked to be less friendly territory.

It turns out his supporters needed to spend less time protesting Fox News and complaining that CNN's pie chart of the vote amounted to "censorship" and more time actually getting out the vote. The New Republic's story on old newsletters, put out under Paul's name and expressing horrifically offensive views, may have been a factor, but not the definitive factor.
