My thoughts on Huckabee in NH
Mike Huckabee is having some successes in New Hampshire.
Romney can raise more than that…
The Globe quotes a political scientist saying Romney can raise $15m in Q1. That’s silly. Hotline says more like $30m with $7m from LDSers. My money is closer to $40m. The Globe needs better political scientists. Or at least ones Read more
“Stop Rudy” activity emerging
For a long time, people have been talking about an "anti-McCain" candidate emerging to stop John McCain from taking the nomination. Both Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney have been benefiting from this. From where I sit in Washington, this is Read more
Why is Romney’s NH Franklin Pierce poll so good?
So I saw this new Franklin Pierce poll that Hugh Hewitt is touting. Now something seems fishy about this. Romney’s ads haven’t been moving people in any state, but, apparently, New Hampshire. And while Mitt Romney is well known, he Read more

Lifers upset with Romney’s Shaivo comments
Romney says the court shouldn’t be involved. Life News says it might sink him. I wonder what Hugh Hewitt and Jeb Bush think.
Romney could take Meehan’s open seat…
55% in the district in 2002… And think of all the great TV ads that you could run with $40m.
Huckabee’s marriage is better than yours too!
Janet Huckabee explains what a great relationship she has with her husband. Good for them. Doesn’t this look patronizing? Is this smart politics when 51% of marriages end in divorce? (BTW, that percentage is the same for evangelicals) Can’t you Read more
