Dear Reader,

The next few months are make-or-break for Mother Jones’ fundraising, and we need more online readers to pitch in than have been of late. In "It's Not a Crisis. This Is the New Normal," we take a level-headed look at the brutal economics of journalism, why investigative reporting like you get from us matters, and why we're optimistic we can grow our base of support in a big way—starting with hitting a huge $300,000 goal in just three weeks. Please learn more and donate if you can right now.

Whoa boy. Somehow the Boston Globe got a hold of a 77-slide PowerPoint presentation created by the Romney campaign that analyzes the strengths and weaknesses of Romney, McCain, and Giuliani. Frankly, the thing is hilarious (the campaign is worried that Romney’s helmet-like hair is “too perfect”) but I won’t be able to do any better chopping the thing up than Kos blogger BarbinMD already did. So enjoy.

Oh, and by the way, if this all sounds familiar, it’s because the same thing happened to Giuliani just a little while back. Remember when the Democrats were the ones who ran sloppy campaigns and lacked party discipline?
