    New Reader

    Directed to your site from Drudge I read your column and enjoyed your wit and insight. I'm a strong conservative (degree in Economics from U of Chicago) with three daughters and enjoy reading something other than political talking points. I don't agree with the Obama camp on most things but I want him to succeed - for our country. Unfortunately, Republicans don't understand what is happening and they've resorted to banal cliches and talking points (as if only they love God and country - how old). They seem to use talking points that use the dialect of 10-20 years ago. I'd say they are as out of touch as Harry Reid (I hope the Democrats are emboldened to recognize they are in a leadership position and move forward with a new, stronger, more intelligent Senate leader - it says more about the Democrats then they might realize). I'll be back. Again, enjoyed your column.
