I continue to be impressed that while other sources cover the horserace, fact check provides a look at the facts behind the claims of candidates in both ads and public appearance.

A great blog that pulls no punches. “Quagmire” means an entrapping position. That’s where we are in Iraq. And no amount of overdone PR, lying, positive spinning, or other rhetorical techniques can abrogate that. Furthermore, no matter what we do, the end—whatever form it takes—is going to be bloody, violent, appalling, and will do great harm to America’s image. But no one—Republicans or Democrats—has the courage to do what eventually has to be done: bite the bullet and withdraw. The longer we wait, the worse it shall get.

I always enjoy these. It does my heart good to see politicians pinned down and held to the same standards we require of high-school students writing a term paper.
