Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

In South Dakota: Another Sarah Palin?

A New Republican Star Takes on a Tough Democratic Incumbent

(By JONATHAN KARL and GREGORY SIMMONS, ABC News) - If money is any indication, the hottest Republican House candidate in the country is Kristi Noem. The 38-year-old rancher has raised more campaign cash than any Republican house challenger in the country.
