Pundit Boxscore for Monday 23 February 2004

KRAUTHAMMER ASCENDING: Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer shot up the partisanship chart into fifth place last week after a remarkably partisan column, accusing the Democratic presidential candidates of competing to see "who could be more hyperbolic in delineating the crimes of George W. Bush."



Lines in yellow indicate a substantive crossover column, meaning that the column is of opposite sign to the pundit's Normalized Total PI for the season, and contains at least five non-neutral partisan references.
Lines in gray indicate that the pundit has been classified as inactive, meaning that their columns are not currently being evaluated for partisanship.
Democratic references in blue, Republican in red, positive references in bold, negative in italics.
