Editor Jon Meacham caught my attention this week with his admission that ?We are a center-right nation politically and culturally.? Then Jonathan Alter got into the act with his assessment that ?House Democrats in particular are to the left of the country as a whole.?
Wait a minute. If these Newsweek scribes realize that their preferred political candidates are out of step with the basic character of American society, does that mean they?re ready to change their tune?
Fear not. The nether regions have yet to freeze over. Later in the same issue, Newsweek leaves objectivity aside and goes to bat for Virginia?s Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Creigh Deeds, contrasting the ?Aw, shucks,? ?dyed-in-the-wool Southern Democrat? with ?slick Republican? Bob McDonnell.
