Today's Reading Assignment

Byorn York of National Review, on the Democrats who want to be the next commander-in-chief, on display last night in South Carolina. Asked by moderator Brian Williams how they would respond to a pair of simultaneous attacks on our soil by Al Qaida, the Democratic candidates responded, well, uh, sort of. As Mr. York reports, Williams' question was clearly inspired by Rudy Guliani's recent observation that Democrats are weak on terrorism. On that stage in South Carolina, most of the Democratic candidates proved that Rudy is right.
