By EPPC Senior Fellow Mona Charen
The xxxxxx

The 1950s are not coming back. But the nuclear family, far from being discredited, has been vindicated by the decay that surrounds us now.

The Claremont Review of Books

Renowned above all for his flights of lyric sublimity, Percy Bysshe Shelley could be as ravishingly melancholy as John Keats and as tenderly exultant as William Wordsworth. Yet his verse could be flagrantly unlovely in the service of his political hatreds, which were many and fierce. Read More

DON’T BET AGAINST JOE BIDEN JUST YET

 
Contrary to predictions, black voters have not abandoned Joe Biden’s allegedly sinking ship, writes EPPC Senior Fellow Henry Olsen in the Washington Post.

Assessing last night’s Nevada debate, Mr. Olsen makes the case that Amy Klobuchar’s clashes with Pete Buttigieg "can be exactly what she needs to catapult her into the top tier.” He also tempers expectations for Michael Bloomberg’s campaign, arguing that “message, not money, is what produces victory, and so far Bloomberg’s has been lacking.” And Mr. Olsen explains why a brokered Democratic convention – a serious possibility this year – would be “even more complicated than it sounds.”

For incisive analysis of this year’s key races and interviews with leading analysts, pollsters, and more, be sure to subscribe to Mr. Olsen’s weekly podcast, The Horse Race.
