| Introduction | Well, Hotline's On Call blog just took me out of the closet -- politically, that is -- so I guess I might as well give you some background information on me. Here's what they said about me: "BILL PASCOE: BORN FOR THE BLOGOSPHERE Consider Republican strategist Bill Pascoe. At some point over the past two decades, he's had his hands in a major race in nearly every state. His friends say he's a win away from superstardom. His detractors (Pascoe freely admits) think he's the Bob Shrum of statewide politics. He is nothing if not entertaining, and now he has a blog. Pascoe has: smuggled cash and computers behind the Iron curtain: was a Hill CoS; is a former RNC spokesman and chief speechwriter; is a former nationally syndicated radio talk show host; wrote a column for the Washington Times for 10 years'; worked for the State Dept. on Central America; had the thankless job of being Bush-Quayle '88's liaison to conservatives; wrote his master's thesis on, among others, Sen. Chris Dodd; managed, in recent cycles, the campaigns of (ahem) Alan Keyes, David Vitter, Bret Schundler and Doug Forrester; runs Urquhart Media LLC today with three partners." |

What reason do you have to believe the earth is flat?
None whatsoever. Other than that Tom Friedman wrote a book called "The World Is Flat," of course.
