Back To Work

Monday.  Back to work day after a weekend that seemed to offer little in the way of "down time". But, it was productive and that's a good thing!  Much of the chatter during this day seemed to focus on politics. Iowa's decision to bump the caucuses up to January 3 was coming under fire from some radio talkers. Mike Huckabee seems to be in the spotlight, with some of the attention positive and some negative. Hold on tight.  It's time for things to get dirty, I'm sure. 

Here's a sampling of what's being said:

Huckabee surges, Edwards fades

The latest still photo from the slow motion, inter-party electoral horse race known as Iowa is in - and it looks like John Edwards is losing steam on the Democratic side while Mike Huckabee is charging at the GOP frontrunners. The University of Iowa Hawkeye Poll, [...]

Horserace Dominates Media Coverage

"In the early months of the 2008 presidential campaign, the media had already winnowed the race to mostly five candidates and offered Americans relatively little information about their records or what they would do if elected, according to a comprehensive new study of the election coverage across the media," according to a study by the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy.

Moon over Mike

The Moonie Washington Times is, if nothing else, a useful source of information on right-wing political intrigue. Here, it's the "bitter" behind-the-scenes division on the Mike Huckabee presidential candidacy. Too liberal, the red hot righties like former Ark. Sen. Randy Minton say. Just right, say some others. Grover Norquist clearly wants [...]

And, I wonder who will be the first to let Mr. Huckabee in on this little fact?

Krugman: No such thing as ‘Islamofascism’

Someone had to say it; I’m just glad it was Paul Krugman. [T]here isn’t actually any such thing as Islamofascism — it’s not an ideology; it’s a figment of the neocon imagination. The term came into vogue only because it was a way for Iraq hawks to gloss over the awkward transition from pursuing Osama bin [...]

Finally, there's obviously no Huckabee fan behind this post

...think no one's attacking him yet because no one's figured out the angles -- Romney isn't bothering because he's still far ahead of Huckabee in Iowa and New Hampshire (the only two states he cares about right now), while Giuliani apparently thinks he's not competing with Huckabee for the same voters (if that's really what he thinks, I think he's wrong). Thompson and McCain, for their part, don't seem to be thinking about what angles to [...]
