...Added another adviser: "You're going to see some very sharp media now." That suggests the next round of Clinton ads will go beyond the previous gentle references to Obama's lack of experience and begin to look at, for instance, inconsistency in his voting record. They are looking at issues like gun control, where he previously took a harder stand that may not play well with gun-loving voters in New Hampshire, and health care, where he previously expressed support for a government-run health care system. Clinton plans to exploit every whiff of inconsistency...
...nothing else, Huckabee's decisive victory in Iowa has established him for the first time as a serious contender for the White House, despite the doubts of many in the Republican establishment. When asked Thursday night about the lack of establishment support in the previous months, Saltsman quipped, "I would say a few are emailing me right...

Someone has to have first look at this slippery field of candidates, to be the testing ground and focus group to their gladhanding and hyper-scripted stump speeches. Meanwhile, so many of our states lack the economic or cultural grandeur of California or New York and become little more than whistle-stops in the general election. This is, of course, the problem to which the Electoral College is the hapless, nonsensical solution. Better that the self-styled salt of the earth in Dubuque and Davenport...
