Montana Democrats who read yesterday’s New York Times story on John Walsh’s plagiarized war college paper probably have ghastly hangovers this morning. And rightly so: the revelation did not improve Walsh’s chances of winning the election. Still, it’s too early to pronounce him a dead man walking and run away from his campaign. Something might happen that offsets this setback.
I’ll probably provide some analysis over the weekend or early next week. Meantime, at Intelligent Discontent, Don Pogreba, who teaches English and knows a thing or two about proper citations and boneheaded students, tries to put Walsh’s plagiarism in political context. At the Copper Commando, the new blog by Young Gun Republicans, the commentary is less kind to Walsh, (and Pogreba).
