Leave it to the New York Times to start the Hillary 2008 Campaign just one day after the 2004 Campaign ended.

Opinion Journal thinks that one of the first orders of business should be to give Miguel Estrada his due. I couldn't agree more. Daschle's character assassination of Mr. Estrada was infuriating, and the best remedy would be to get him into the D.C. Court of Appeals sooner rather than later.

Peggy Noonan says the biggest loser of the 2004 election was the mainstream media: "CBS and the fabricated Bush National Guard documents, the New York Times and bombgate, CBS's "60 Minutes" attempting to coordinate the breaking of bombgate on the Sunday before the election". She also tries to coin the phrase "pajama-clad yeomen" in reference to internet bloggers. Personally, I prefer Pajamahadeen.

Thomas Sowell calls the election "a narrow escape". He also notes that when the mainstream media attacks, it can get pretty ugly: "Dan Rather's forged documents were just the proverbial tip of the iceberg. Ted Koppel's contrived "ambush journalism" against John O'Neill of the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth was more clever, but no less sleazy. Chris Matthews' shouting down and browbeating Michelle Malkin on Hardball was not his finest hour either." He goes on to cover the high/low (depending on who's in office) 5.4% unemployment rate, unsubstantiated claims about keeping people away from the polls, and all that rumor and conjecture about Bush's national guard service in comparison with 10-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner John Kerry.
