Jay Cost Week at RCP
This should be a really interesting week at the RealClearPolitics blog, as astute analyst Jay Cost is guest-blogging all week long. He starts off strong with a lucid, lengthy examination of why 2005 was the year George W. Bush would just as soon forget. Highly recommended…
I’ll be on the road again heading back to Austin after a wonderful Christmas break, but I’ll be posting again this afternoon and evening, so check on back, won’t you?…

I agree, Mark. I lived for Jay’s analysis on his Horserace Blog last fall during the final weeks of the ’04 campaign. He kept me sane during those anxious moments when the MSM polls looked scary.
By the way, Merry Christmas. (We just spent a wonderful few days visiting my sister in Austin. Now I’m back in Chicago). Keep up the great work you do on this blog!
Many thanks, ron – talk about a change in temperature – it’s almost 80 degrees in Austin – I don’t know what it is in Chicago, but I’ll take a chance and say it’s a wee bit cooler…
