But in the end, entrance polls suggested that the attacks had failed to dent Huckabee's golden-boy image. But as he moves forward he may look back on his Iowa experience as a springtime walk through knee-high corn. By winning Iowa, he only temporarily defeated Romney, and in the process he gained new rivals, in John McCain and, perhaps, Rudy Giuliani.

At that point Zapatero chided Chávez, reminding him that Aznar himself "was democratically elected...
...monitored. If the school closes the gaps further this year, it will be removed from the federal watch list altogether. Members of the School Committee advocate different approaches to closing achievement gap. Former committee member and candidate Marc C. McGovern argues that in order to make a significant dent, the school district has to expand access to early childhood education and address a host of other factors—like health care, nutrition, and parent involvement.
