BEDFORD, Pennsylvania -- For the briefest of moments, a line of vintage Rolls-Royce automobiles chugged along the curving Cumberland Road. They passed over the Cumberland Run a handful of times and wound themselves down the mountains, away from Pennsylvania and toward the city of steeples, Cumberland.

Those of us of a certain age -- born before about 1970 -- have fond memories of the mailman (yes, that's what we called him, not "postal carrier") dropping off a pile of letters and cards into the mailbox down the driveway six days a week.

But those days are long past. Now if we have something important to say -- "I love you," "I hate you," "...Read more

It was at ...Read more

One of the many angry eruptions of the petulant press over Donald Trump is "he's destroying all our political norms." Trump is surely a disrupter of politics as usual -- and more of a disrupter of the federal bureaucracy in his second term.

But the Democrats have been at war with long-standing political norms for a while now. Consider Senate ...Read more

As President Donald Trump's job approval sinks to or below 40% (depending on which poll you're looking at), betting markets and political conventional wisdom are that his Republican Party is not necessarily doomed to lose its narrow House majority, nor is it at serious risk of losing its Senate majority.

This is partly because of court ...Read more

It's challenging enough to pay attention to political races in our home states, much less those in other states. But recent headlines make clear that it's more important than ever that the klieg lights shine on these offices, and that those who occupy them face national as well as regional scrutiny.

When White House Deputy Chief of Staff James Blair decided to push mid-decade congressional redistricting, Republicans had reason to be nervous. Redistricting battles are messy, procedurally arcane and easy to lose in the court of public opinion even when you win in a court of law. But Blair saw something others missed: Democrats had already ...Read more
