President Obama's core supporters, though increasingly lonely, are no less convinced of his greatness a year-plus into his presidency.

The problem is, like a writer to The Chronicle's Rants & Raves on Thursday, they're hanging their hats on the indisputable glory of his breakthrough election in 2008 -- not on what he's done or not done since.

A dispassionate review of the president's actual record -- not emotions for or against him -- is what we should judge him by, and what historians absolutely will weigh.

Does the National Enquirer Deserve a Pulitzer for Breaking the John Edwards Scandal? (Politics Daily)

The National Enquirer is a supermarket tabloid, but the time has come for the media elite to admit that it has an excellent investigative reporting team, which broke the biggest political scandal of 2009, the John Edwards affair.

While its own editor concedes that the paper would never be given a Pulitzer Prize -- the jury is dominated by the newspaper establishment -- I believe the time has come for us to recognize the Enquirer's political investigative reporting.

Though I don't know the other nominees for the 2009 investigative category (the deadline isn't until February), and I'm sure there are many worthy entries, it's clear to me that the Enquirer deserves consideration for what remains the highest honor in American journalism.
