A Dose of Reality for the Pope
(John Hinderaker) I really don't like Pope Francis. Some popes have been positive, world-historical figures, like John Paul II. Others have been clueless tag-alongs with the intellectual fashions of their time. I am afraid that Francis falls into the latter category.

Walker's Parting Shot
(John Hinderaker) We have written about Scott Walker's departure from the presidential campaign here, but we didn't mention Walker's parting shot. He sent out an email to supporters that included the following: Sadly, the debate taking place in the Republican party today is not focused on [Ronald Reagan's] optimistic view of America. Instead, it has drifted into personal attacks. In the end, I believe that voters want to be for something and

Farewell to Scott Walker [With comments by Paul and John]
(Steven Hayward) It is unfortunate that Scott Walker is dropping out of the race, but I'm not surprised as this turn of events. He is this cycle's Rick Perry: a solid governor with a strong record on which to run, but not adequately prepared for the heightened pressure and scrutiny of a presidential race.
