...all candidates embrace the metaphor of politics as war. Dennis Kucinich, for example. But Rudy Giuliani is always up for a fight. The lights and the television sets go on at 3:30 most mornings in the headquarters of the former New York City mayor, thanks to a former Bush White House aide named Kathryn Grosso. As war-room manager, she monitors the buzz, and the buzz starts early. "We never know what the news cycle is going to bring," she says. "It always keeps you on your toes." Surrounded by other staffers, volunteers and orders from Chipotle, Grosso tunes...

Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee has surged up in the polls, especially in Iowa, turning a four-man race into an even broader contest. Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson has unveiled several big policy proposals, while sliding in some polls.
