In his victory speech John McCain was effusive in his appreciation of the South Carolina voters. He didn't appear to be aware that twice as many of them voted against him as voted for him. He was focused on the fact that more people voted for him than any one of the other candidates.

But at least he didn't read his speech and stumble over the words as he did in Iowa.

The Associated Press reports that a mother in Wisconsin tried to drown her newborn twin boys in a bathtub and succeeded in killing one of them. To me this is clearly a tragic event. But, philosophically, how different is this from partial birth abortion?

I encourage anyone enamored with the rhetoric of the Democrat candidates for president, especially that of Obama and Edwards, to read this column by Thomas Sowell.
