Those Crazy Conservatives

One of the most interesting times in politics is the first few weeks of a campaign of a threatening candidate like Clark. The extra media attention reveals early campaign flubs and waffling that go unnoticed in traditional campaigns.

Also, you get to see the miscues of his opponents as they work out the best way to attack him.

I have no opinion of Clark yet, aside that it's odd that a man who considered running for several months has only started to develop his positions on domestic issues. But this attack on Clark made me smile.

The fun version: Read this opinion piece in The Daily Standard, and then the first paragraph of the Newsweek essay (by conservative Howard Fineman) it links to as a reference. Figure out the logical fallacy. Laugh.

The easy version: Read this summary of what happened on TPM.
