...shaping up as one for the ages - is a remarkable exercise in popular democracy. Think of some of the stories that have already been told this year: the Evangelical community, tired of being courted and then ignored by smoother Republican candidates, turning out in Iowa to support Mike Huckabee, a man who is authentically of their stock, even if the party establishment thought him a lightweight; the thousands of college students who have seen in Barack Obama someone who speaks to their, and not their parents', concerns; the women in New Hampshire who rescued Hillary Clinton's no-longer-inevitable...
...Unaligned strategists say that Romney will undoubtedly continue his stream of "comparison" ads, that his best bet still is to depress McCain votes - a tactic that may work well in Michigan because it's a state where Mike Huckabee will again find a strong base of Evangelical support. The McCain camp, however, vigorously disputes that interpretation. "We're thrilled Huck's on the air in Michigan," one McCain adviser says. "He takes votes away from Romney that we would never...
...then riding the momentum created by those victories to wins in the bigger states on Jan. 29 and Feb. 5. That was the way Romney was going to overcome his low name recognition nationally against celebrity opponents like McCain and Rudy Giuliani.

McCain's immediate problem in South Carolina is his ally from Iowa and New Hampshire. Mike Huckabee, a former Baptist pastor, has been polling with a double-digit lead among the state's heavily Baptist electorate. For weeks the two men have praised each other talents and made common cause against their well-funded adversary, Mitt Romney, who will try to salvage his wounded campaign next week with a win in Michigan on January 15, four days before the vote in South Carolina. "It's not that we don't recognize that we are competing for the same job," Huckabee...
...things that was really interesting about the race in New Hampshire was that Romney really tried to make it about cultural issues. He did the gay marriage debate... He did the anti-immigration stuff and that didn't seem to latch on. But with Mike Huckabee entering the race as a real social conservative, how do you think the role of social issues and cultural issues will evolve in the campaign? Some of it is hard to know. In the case of South Carolina... there is the military patriotism et cetera... side of the equation as well. I think that...
