Matt McKillip , a very smart guy, has organized the “Run Mitch Run” campaign and is urging that Daniels be written in by MN and CO voters. Matt gives due credit to our Pete (in a private email) for thinking up the catchy slogan.
THE WEEKLY STANDARD recommends in that tentative way characteristic of so many Republicans this year that everyone on Tuesday vote Santorum to keep the campaign going.
You’d wish that someone would recommend voting for Santorum because he’s a great guy who could beat the president. One very recent poll does show him polling marginally better than Romney.
Meanwhile, other studies show Romney lengthening his lead over the other Republican candidates nationwide and falling behind Obama.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
