INSIGHT NEWS ALERT! A new issue of Insight on the News is now online.
http://www.insightmag.com/ ............................................... Folks, welcome to our insider post-election issue. The Republicans have broken the Democrats’ right flank, and are sending them into pell-mell retreat -- for now. Recent Republican history shows us when the GOP appears the strongest, they begin their complacent decline. Remember Bush Sr. after Desert Storm? He looked so invincible that no credible Democrat stepped forward to challenge him. Yet that was the very moment a fresh politician with political vision decided to take him on. You know the rest. I guarantee you that right now, there’s a fresh Democrat face calculating the odds, and zeroing in on the Republicans’ very-real political vulnerabilities. Watch for him (her?). You’ll find out about him in Insight first! Maybe you already have. We have a lot of worthwhile reading for you this week. I call your special attention to Jennifer Hickey’s (yes, she’s done it again) penetrating piece on the new ways the establishment media managed to take sides this time. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319141.html And Scott Wheeler reports on the disarray of House Democrats – and how some may be ready to cross over the aisle. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319188.html That’s it for now. There’s rich election reading below, and I don’t want to take any more of your time. Until next time then, from the Bunker, I remain your newsman in Washington. ............................................... THE MEDIA LOSES AGAIN Jennifer Hickey reports that though the GOP made monumental gains in state legislatures, the national media received the election returns with hysterical rather than historical analysis. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319141.html ............................................... MESSAGE RECEIVED John Berlau writes that while Democrats tried to shrug off recapture of the Senate leadership by the GOP, victory was won by the Republican 'ground war'. The GOP also sent a clear message that the Democrat-controlled Senate had obstructed Bush policy. The result? A voter rally behind the president. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319115.html ======================================== MORE KIND WORDS ABOUT ‘INSIGHT’ MAGAZINE “(’INSIGHT’ WRITER) JOHN BERLAU NEEDS ALL THE HELP he can get from the Almighty since he has managed to get on the wrong side of (IRS Director) Rossotti. ‘Insight’ is the only place the light of truth shines like this, so our prayers are always with you and everyone on the staff.” -- P.&R.T., Los Angeles, California ‘INSIGHT’ -- DISCOVER US FOR YOURSELF https://www.collegepublisher.com/insightsub/subform1.cfm ======================================== HOUSE REPUBLICANS – SMALL EXPECTATIONS, GREAT RESULTS Scott Wheeler tells us that the GOP surprised many analysts by adding to its majority in the House of Representatives, and there are rumblings that Democratic defections may follow suit. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319188.html ............................................... GOP WINS THE TRIPLE CROWN Sheila Cherry writes that Republicans celebrate control of the White House, both houses of Congress and a majority of the nation's state executive offices after winning close electoral decisions. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319207.html ............................................... THE POTENCY OF THE ‘BUSH FACTOR’ Jamie Dettmer tells us that for the Democrats the midterm elections weren't just bad, they were disastrous — and now the party has to do some deep thinking about how to approach the 2004 presidential race at a time when it has a lackluster list of possible contenders. http://www.insightmag.com/news/319157.html ............................................... A LETTER FROM THE EDITOR Paul Rodriguez writes that it is not classes of people but individuals, with whom decent people must have dialogue. To do so, as President George W.
