Hugh Hewitt, the nationally syndicated radio host, blogger, and columnist for the Daily Standard and WorldNetDaily.com has new book that came out this week called “If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat: Crushing the Democrats in Every Election and Why Your Life Depends on It”.

From the back cover:

In If It’s Not Close, They Can’t Cheat, nationally syndicated radio talk show host Hugh Hewitt refocuses campaign rhetoric and empowers you to alter national policy. Your voice matters. You can influence the outcome. Hewitt’s strategy for change is a straightforward one: Winning elections Though national elections get the most attention, national leaders rise through the ranks from local politics, so winning elections at every level is paramount.

Glenn Reynolds, (a.k.a. Instapundit) says “Hugh Hewitt looks at the evidence, accepts no excuses, and takes no prisoners.”

I received my copy today, and it looks to be very informative holiday weekend reading!

The Drudge Report has a blurb saying that John Kerry will announce his VP pick on the internet via e-mal and through his website.

Yawwwwwwnnnnnnn….

I suspect that this was originallyy an idea the Dean campaign had for itself when the were under the delusion Dean was going to win the nomination. This all appears to be part of a strategy by the Kerry campaign to define Kerry as the candidate of the Internet. Possibly it’s a tactic to generate more hits to his website… who knows… it’s still pretty lame. John Kerry seems to think he’s Howard Dean or something.

The Boston Globe is reporting that Kerry may announce his running mate on Tuesday, July 6th, which (coincidentally/intentionally) is George W. Bush’s 58th birthday.

John F. Kerry spent yesterday in isolation at his wife’s 90-acre suburban farm, working on his convention acceptance speech amid signs that the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee may announce his choice of a running mate here as early as next Tuesday.

…

”We’re hearing it’s going to be Tuesday,” said the adviser, who spoke on the condition that neither he nor his boss be identified.

Coincidence? Maybe. Intentional? Possibly. Perhaps Kerry hopes to steal the limelight from Bush on his birthday. But hey, what better gift for George W. Bush on his birthday than to find out the entire ticket he is going to beat in November.
