Mr. Brooks, a professor at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Public Affairs, is the author of "Who Really Cares: The Surprising Truth About Compassionate Conservatism," forthcoming from Basic Books. I am a graduate of the Maxwell School of Public Affairs at Syracuse. Brooks is an idiot!

Another shady GOPer bites the dust........have you all thought about doing a survey to see how many crooks, I mean GOPers of lesser quality there are? Primary may oust Alaska's governor JUNEAU, Alaska - Republican Gov. Frank Murkowski is fighting to survive today's primary after a rocky first term and a campaign in which opponents have tried to blame him for the partial shutdown of the nation's largest oil field. Murkowski is polling last in the three-way race for the GOP nomination. The winner likely will face Democrat Tony Knowles, a two-term former governor, in the general election. Murkowski, 73, has tried to turn the election into a referendum on his proposal for a $25 billion natural gas pipeline to Canada, calling the project "the greatest significant event since statehood." If a different Republican nominee emerges, "it will be very difficult to get his contract moved forward," said Alaska House Majority Leader John Coghill, a Republican. Murkowski's approval ratings have skidded during the past four years because of much-criticized decisions such as appointing his daughter Lisa to his U.S. Senate seat and purchasing a state jet after his request for the aircraft was denied by both the federal government and state Legislature. 159.54.227.3
