...former New York mayor never made a serious effort in Iowa - and came in sixth. Now, he has reduced his role to that of a cameo in New Hampshire as well. He is running behind John McCain, Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee in most surveys - his exact position depending on who the pollsters think is going to come out and vote. He neither helped nor hurt himself in Saturday night's ABC/Facebook debate - though he did seem to invoke Ronald Reagan's name nearly every time he spoke...
This is the exact opposite of blaming the victim; it's blaming the customer - because Romney and his staff insist that the product itself is not flawed. "Romney represents the best candidate to continue beyond Iowa," Madden explained, patiently re-iterating the national security/social conservistism/economic conservatism triad (the fabled "Reagan coalition") that are the core competencies of brand Romney.

The cancer caused by a CT scan doesn't generally show up for decades - and there are all sorts...
...send you information we put on the web about the President's speeches." It is the job of the RNC communications team, he admits, to "provide information to further a story line that is detrimental to our opposition." Of course, the Democratic National Committee has someone doing the exact same thing; what distinguishes Diaz is the obvious pleasure he takes in a job that is largely about spreading ill will...
