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.

Charles Krauthammer: Christine O’Donnell Has 1 in 10 Chance



(Breitbart.tv) - Charles Krauthammer said he would still vote Republican if he were a Delaware resident, but that he believes it was “a huge mistake to jeopardize a seat in Delaware which was absolutely in the pocket without almost any contention and to jeopardize it with a much weaker candidate who… I think is overwhelmingly likely to lose.”

(FrumForum) - Byron York asks some good questions on Twitter this morning. Why is the GOP elite still protesting the O’Donnell nomination win? Why not just pay her lip service, give her some cash, and let her quietly lose?

After all: party leaders – including Karl Rove – have made their peace with Sharron Angle in Nevada, who is at least as personally wacky as O’Donnell? They have joined to raise funds for Rand Paul, who though not personally wacky, upholds an extreme and sometimes ugly ideology.

Why strain at a gnat having swallowed these camels?

Here’s the question to which I would like an answer: Did party leaders promise Mike Castle an easy ride to the Senate nomination if he would make the Senate run? Did O’Donnell’s surprise win humiliate them by wrecking those promises? Do they worry that her success will render them less credible the next time they warn an outsider candidate not to run against a party favorite?

Just asking…
