...into it,” Crespo said. Paul H. Rubin, an economics professor at Emory who advised Allen on his undergraduate thesis, said his former student was always “self-assured, confident, and seemed to know what he was doing.” Rubin was quick to tout the motivation and independence that characterized Allen’s thesis work. “He came up with the idea himself, and my supervision consisted of mainly suggesting different methods of analysis,” Rubin said.

Romney's long-stated strategy was to win Iowa and New Hampshire through aggressive campaigning and big spending. He fought mightily to rescue his New Hampshire campaign, dominating the final pre-election debate and deploying a massive phone bank to make 100,000 last-minute phone calls to prospective voters.

Previous evangelical politicians have run as single-issue candidates opposed to abortion. Huckabee isn't doing that. But he is very nearly a single-constituency candidate.
