Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
Fred Wins, Chris Loses (Update: My Prediction Comes True)  —  The first debate with Fred Thompson was expected to reveal whether the lanky actor had what it takes to make a national run for the office.  Instead, it revealed Chris Matthews as a hack of the first order, one who tried his best to torpedo Thompson — and failed utterly.
Katharine Q. Seelye / The Caucus:
Live-Blogging the Republican Debate  —  It is fascinating (at least to those of us who had not watched one of these all the way through) how all the Republicans candidates feel the need to claim that we can get more revenue through tax cuts.  Obviously tax increases are the kiss of death for a Republican candidate.

Alright, That's Enough On Graeme Frost  —  I did some research into the Frost family last night but was just going to let it go, no need to pile on, etc.  But Think Progress doesn't seem to want to let it go.  So, I'm posting what I turned up after I say my piece.  —  See those faces at Right?
John Cole / Balloon Juice:
When Rhetoric Meets Reality  —  I was talking to Tim via AOL IM, and I decided it was probably worthwhile to bring this up for everyone.  One of the things that is so surprising (for me, at least) about the whole Graeme Frost episode is that rather than make their case against this program …
David M. Herszenhorn / New York Times:
Capitol Feud: A 12-Year-Old Is the Fodder  —  There have been moments when the fight between Congressional Democrats and President Bush over the State Children's Health Insurance Program seemed to devolve into a shouting match about who loves children more.  —  So when Democrats enlisted …
