Mickey blogs<\/a>:<\/p>\n

I don’t <\/a>particularly like Huckabee–he’s slick, and sells a bleeding heart approach–but his invocation of social equality<\/strong> in last night’s debate <\/a>was moving, and would seem to provide a firm basis for going national: <\/p>\n

\n

In that sense of equality, the greatest principle is that every human being and every American is equal to each other. One person is not more equal because of his net worth or because of his I.Q. or because of his ancestry or last name.<\/p>\n

That was a radical idea when those 56 signers put their names on that document, knowing that if their experiment in government didn’t work, they were going to die for it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mickey writes for Slate<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mitt Romney’s failure to hang "comprehensive immigration reform" around John McCain’s neck in last night’s debate<\/a> may have been the defining failure of Romney’s candidacy. We’ll see if he does better in the Fox debate that just started. [Update:<\/strong> He did, but maybe not better enough.]<\/p>\n

It’s been my impression that McCain has been locked by the realities of the issue into a tactic of gruff testy dissembling<\/strong>–e.g., saying that illegals he’d legalize would "not be in any way rewarded for illegal behavior" (of course they would–how many people around the world would like to pay a fine and come and live here legally?) or that they’d have to go to the "back of the line behind everybody else" (nope-they get to short-circuit the most important line<\/a>, the line to get into the "citizenship" line).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
