At Last,The GOP Civil War

++The National Review launched a whole issue of conservative writers, barkers and has-beens to attack Donald Trump. As a result,they lost sponsorship for the next Republican debate.

++Josh Marshall at Talking Points and Martin Longman has pieces today explaining the significance of the war of hates.

++Jeb!'s mother cut an ad for her son. Actually it was nice. Ed Kilgore had a piece on Michael Murphy,Bush's brain and what's gone wrong.

++Listen for the signal, not the noise. Nate Silver warns that the filers in the latest Iowa polls show that turnout is the key. Nate says Sanders' ground game is good but not at Obama levels.

++The Cook Political Report has an excellent report on the Democratic primary. It analyzes the margins both candidates need to secure the nomination. Sanders is way behind the official delegate count in a way that Obama in 2008 wasn't. The other factor is that Iowa and New hampshire are the "whitest" states in the Democratic primary schedule. Sanders support is basically "Portandia" without much support from African-Americans.

++Conservatives are thrilled more Clinton e-mails have been released.
