It must be the season. With the 2004 election bearing down on us, I’ve been seeing Barry Goldwater quotes, references, praise, criticism, and such all over the place. Deguia.net recently quoted him. Repeatedly. Chris Matthews has been digging up his bones on Hardball almost every night. Even Mori has returned from a 10-month posting freeze to pontificate on the significance of Goldwater’s 1964 campaign. I wonder if he’ll get his own Saturday-morning cartoon by November?

Anyhow, State of the American Political Landscape is a worthwhile read.
