...also-rans on Saturday were Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo (1,961, 14%), followed by Texas Congressman Ron Paul (1,305, 9%), and former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson (1,039, 7%). A senior aide to Tommy Thompson hinted that he would leave the race in the coming days. Getting only a smattering of votes were Fred Thompson (203 votes) who has not formally entered the race, Giuliani (183), California Congressman Duncan Hunter (174), and, last, Arizona Senator John McCain (101), whose position in favor of comprehensive immigration reform has decimated his campaign in Iowa...

Bush's judicial nominees. The ads named Wisconsin's two Senators and urged viewers to contact them about the issue. One Senator, Democrat Russ Feingold, was up for reelection. Since the McCain-Feingold law bans corporations and unions from spending their money (as opposed to money from a separate political action committee) on ads that name candidates 30 days before a primary...
...Joined by Justice Samuel Alito, Roberts says the organization's ads could reasonably be seen as opposing the practice of filibustering, rather than the candidacy of Feingold, so they therefore past constitutional muster. (Wisconsin Right to Life won't use the old ads, obviously, but at least now it knows what it can say in new ones.)
