Celia Cohen Hits It Out of the Park
As you know, we like to make fun of Celia Cohen because of her duPont-Castle ties, the establishment GOP conventional wisdom that permeates her posts, and because of a sometimes florid writing style that makes you want to gouge your eyes out.

It is an account of Delaware’s first civil union ceremony, performed yesterday at Trinity Episcopal Church, between Lisa Goodman and Drew Fennell.

Mitt Romney leads in Iowa. This is the most anti-climactic nomination race ever held.
Your Predictions for 2012 [Here are Mine]
A non-Mitt Romney candidate will win the Iowa Caucuses. But a Mitt Romney candidate will be the Republican nominee for President. There will be a third party candidate from the right, I just can’t decide if it will be Ron Paul, Donald Trump or Sarah Palin.
