Michael Gerson (in the interest of full disclosure, I don't like him) says that the democrats might be "coronating" a wounded candidate.

I'd have said "crowning" a wounded candidate. A coronation takes place when someone is crowned - not coronated. (Michel's spell checker agrees with me- it can't find coronated. No loss Michel - let's chuck it.)

Coronated is in the dictionary, but so is orientate. An orientation occurs when someone is oriented, not orientated.

Unfortunately, he's probably correct in substance, but I'd like to think that someone making a living as a writer understands proper diction.
Anyone who does not go overboard- deserves to.
