Your Friday Morning Abbreviated Pundit Round-up

Here's my quick summary and link to see what the wordsmiths are saying today.

EJ Dionne: All that 'no one wants to be a Republican' stuff is real.

David Brooks on education reform: Damn that Obama. He's not giving me
anything to attack. McCain, otoh, isn't even showing up to play. Damn,
damn, damn. I have a deadline.

Charles Krauthammer on Iraq: when you're delusional like I am, you
don't need stuff from Obama to attack. You just make stuff up, like
"we're winning!!" That'll win the election for McCain because even
though the American people overwhelmingly agree with Obama, it just
will.

Stu Rothenberg: If McCain loses the GOP is screwed. If he wins, they
are more screwed. Seriously.

Peggy Noonan: "The press will be nice to him [McCain] again. When he's
17 points down."

Garrison Keillor: "That is the failure of the Current Occupant. Whenever he steps up to the lectern, public confidence drops like a rock. He's not a leader, he's just a regular feller."
