It’s finally here.  If you listen to media pundits, Obama’s got this in a landslide.  If you look at the polls, Clinton’s got this in a landslide.  I can’t wait to see how the media/polls difference is explained off again.  ( Stolen election?  Bad exit poll data? )   Bottom line, I think the media LOVES [...]

I gotta score one for Huckabee today.  On the issue of the Confederate flag in South Carolina:

“You don’t like people from outside the state coming in and telling you what to do with your flag,” Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, told supporters Thursday in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

As we near the Iowa caucus, the guns are coming out on all sides.  The best battle seems to be brewing between Huckabee and Romney.  Starting a week or two ago, Romney started firing at Huckabee.  Huckabee reacted, but didn’t fire back.  Yesterday Huckabee held a news conference to announce a negative campaign he had [...]
