What They Got

Victor Davis Hanson is warming up his pen.

The Democrats wanted a cigar-chomping populist who could portray the Republicans as elitists who stomped on the Joe little-guy. Once again they got a flashier version of a John Edwards-John Kerry-Al Gore preachy liberal, who whines about the price of arugula and thinks stepping off a jet in shades and polo shirts is an Esquire photo-op.

Usually the stuff on his blog is just a first draft of the finished article, which then appears a few days later. I look forward to this one.
