...Soul-Searching Romney should have seen both losses coming. No matter how little money or press Huckabee received, he was tailored from the get-go to appeal to Iowa caucuses. They like down-to-earth, Bible-reading, unflashy dark horses: just ask Jimmy Carter. Huckabee's populism and gift for campaigning made him an irresistible choice for Iowa Republicans, and he brought remarkable numbers of Evangelicals out to vote. And when the crotchety, conservative New Hampshire Union Leader joined the elbow-patch-liberal Concord Monitor in endorsing McCain, Romney was on notice that his mansion on a New Hampshire lakefront...
...advocating for its abolition in South Asia was but a tiny portion of Bhutto’s career and message.

(In another sign that...
...wins scramble the presidential contest in both parties. On the Democratic side, Obama now becomes the frontrunner going into New Hampshire. Clinton's loss raises the stakes for her in the Granite State, where she holds a slim lead in the polls. And the results throw a dark shadow over the campaign of Edwards, who has never had the strength in New England that he had on the prairie...
