The weather apparently got to Thomas Hibbs at NRO as he penned Abolish Winter Break!, but his first paragraph called to me:
In last fall's Massachusetts gubernatorial campaign, the Republican candidate and eventual victor, Mitt Romney, endured all sorts of attacks for his wealth and upper-class status. Coming from a state Democratic party whose power is concentrated in the Kerry-Heinz fortune and the royal family of Kennedy, these assaults seemed a trifle disingenuous. (Some years ago, the Boston Globe actually ran an op-ed piece in which John Silber argued that Ted Kennedy had earned the right not to debate political rivals.)Good thing Teddy can't turn around too fast or John Silber's nose would be seriously at risk, wedged where it is.
