4 Finalists for Site of Democratic Convention

The DNC has narrowed the list of choices for its 2012 convention to four cities: St Louis, Cleveland, Charlotte and Minneapolis. Frankly, I am surprised only one Ohio city appears on the list.

Sarah Palin Threatens to Run for President in 2012

Sarah Palin -- who only recently believed that living a stone's throw from Russia gave her foreign policy experience -- has threatened to run for president in 2012. She did not call it a threat, but it sure feels like one.



Before conservative feminists for Palin accuse me of being part of a leftist patriarchal mob waiting to shred Palin to pieces, please observe these articles:

Newt Gingrich, the Republican former Speaker of the House, didn't rule it out last night in Ashland, before he was to address a packed house of 650-plus at Randolph-Macon College.

Gingrich and his wife, Callista, "will look seriously and we'll probably get our family totally engaged, including our two grandchildren, probably in January, 2011, and we'll look seriously at whether or not we think it's necessary to do it," he told reporters during a sit-down interview before last night's speech.

"And if we think it's necessary we'll probably do it. And if it isn't necessary we probably won't do it."
