...Rudy Giuliani, in New England. Huckabee has skillfully set expectations low enough that a third-place finish in New Hampshire will be viewed as a success, and he is also leading in polls in South Carolina, where the G.O.P. will hold a key primary on January 19. So the press has got to figure Huckabee out, and fast, which is bad timing, because New Hampshire voters are trying to do the same thing.

I counted about seven on my way to the press center; there used to be only two. Everything is permissions and clearances; passes and badges of various colors and sizes. And what is clear is that the closer and higher you are to the U.S. military the easier you move, the smoother you glide through to the beast's belly: the U.S. embassy. It is the tackiest, strangest circus attraction this side of Vegas. A Starbucks-like coffee shop with baristas from...
