EDITORIAL: Third-party votes are wasted
It feels good to take a stand on principle. Knowing you've done the right thing for the right reason brings a feeling of satisfaction; third-party advocates thrive on this emotional response.

EDITORIAL: Stop believing in Obama
Barack Obama's closing argument for his re-election requires a declaration of faith. "I believe in you," he told a crowd of supporters Wednesday. "I need you to keep believing in me." Regrettably, four years of failure leave precious little to believe in. Published October 25, 2012

EDITORIAL: Obama’s flair for picking losers
In humor and politics, timing is everything. For President Obama, however, there is nothing funny about the collapse of more of his pet renewable energy projects so soon after Mitt Romney's pointed debate jab that "you don't pick winners and losers, you only pick losers." Published October 22, 2012
