According to Capital Fax, Illinois may move up to February 5th too. Another big state and another expensive media market. It just gets harder to not be a top-tier candidate.

A bunch of endorsements were announced today: The GA GOP Chair and National Committeeman is McCain’s southern Co-chair. The AL Treasurer is Romney’s AL Chair.

Update: Brownback had previously taken a position and this blog suggests that Romney is talking about 20k troops. Update II: Silence from Giuliani. So far, the debate on the relationship between the Iraq and the 2008 Presidential has focused on the Democrats running from the war and the effect on John McCain’s candidacy. I wrote [...]

Mitt Romney had a gangbuster day yesterday. He raised a lot of money. His top-notch staff handled the press beautifully. We can expect a series of announcements in the next couple of days about people he has signed up to maintain the momentum. Senator Jim DeMint, it seems the last non-McCain Republican in South Carolina, [...]

This is from a Brownback press release. Is it me or are Massachusetts Republicans and conservatives not so fond of their governor? First, Mass Resistance hates him. Then, he loses his own College Republicans to McCain. Then he loses his own Senate Minority Leader. Now he loses his social conservatives: In order to preserve traditional [...]

Romney with donors in Boston. Brownback with Right-to-Life activists in Kansas before they leave for the March for Life in DC, with a [...]

I’ve seen two posts now suggesting that Rudy Giuliani may consider dropping out. Political Insider says that the Mayor just hasn’t made up his mind yet. And in an article on McCain locking up SC donors, LJ of Race42008 says of Rudy: The way the Republican primary schedule is shaping up, the nominee will be [...]

I woke up and saw this article at the Christian Broadcasting Network (recall, Pat Robertson’s operation). They report that Jerry Zandstra, President of the Michigan Pro-life League and a member of Sam Brownback’s Exploratory Committee, attacked Romney for flip-flopping on taxes: If this were the only flip in Gov. Romney’s budding candidacy, fiscal conservatives could [...]
