Watching the debates on ABC. Now the Democrats are discussing domestic issues and the need for change and there has been slashing between Obama, Clinton and Edwards. Richardson gets a chance to speak and says something like “I’ve been in hostage negotiation situations that were more civil than this.”

The ABC/GOP debate in New Hampshire today showed few surprises, but did bring some heated discussions as the candidates pulled out all the right wing talking points in the final push for votes. The format being used by ABC lent itself well to actual conversation, which is refreshing. [...]

The Romney campaign has been up to some dirty tricks, Bob Novak reports:
Published reports that Fred Thompson soon will withdraw from the Republican presidential contest and endorse Sen. John McCain have been traced in part to Mitt Romney’s campaign, trying to stir up strife between McCain and Thompson.

The editor of The State newspaper’s editorial section, Brad Warthen, is encouraging Fred Thompson to end his disintegrating White House bid and throw his support behind fellow candidate John McCain. In a post on his blog Saturday, Warthen wrote that Thompson’s best chance to “make a difference” is to help McCain — whom he backed in 2000 — continue his recent sread more

When Churchill used the phrase, “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma”, he was talking about a political entity with an unclear political intent - the Soviet Union. He wasn’t being complementary. I’d hate to compare Pastor Huckabee to the Soviet Union, but the quotation did just spring to mind as I posted a translation on Watching America about him.

Bill O’Reilly went on FOX News via telephone to tell his side of the story. He got into a confrontation with an Obama staffer because his poor little camera got blocked.
O’Reilly: Some guy comes over, he’s about six foot eight according to the press reports and he stands in front of the [...]

A new Zogby poll shows Democratic Senator Hillary Clinton and Republican former Gov. Mitt Romney in the lead in their parties’ respective primaries in New Hampshire — but the two front-runners are ahead by such narrow margins that Tuesday night could again be a night of surprises:

EDITOR’S NOTE: The headline of our post on the Zogby poll and the lead paragraph were wrong due to part of another post not being properly erased, although the rest of the post was correct. The poll shows Senator John McCain and NOT former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney holding on to their narrow leads.

Over the next couple days (and maybe beyond that) of the things we'll be trying to do is put together arguments to persuade your low info friends that might be confused with "maverick" John McCain, war-opponent Ron Paul, or weight-loss guru Mike Huckabee that these are not viable options.

Team Clinton has revealed that they're going to stay positive in NH up to primary day, but I'm surprised to see how candid they are about why:Clinton advisers said Friday that they would not mount a negative advertising campaign against Mr. Obama in New Hampshire, saying the primary was too soon for such an onslaught to have any effect.read more

It is often been said that former President Bill Clinton is Senator Hillary Clinton’s closest, best and most astute political advisor. If that’s the case and a recent statement he reportedly made is any indication, she should consider firing him and getting a new one.

I wonder how much wiser we all are going through the outpourings/hysteria in the blogosphere in the wake of the recent Iowa storm. However, some of the analysis has been readable/enjoyable. Michael Barone, who is the principal author of The Almanac of American Politics, says the stunning show at Iowa is “a good starter — but where’s the meat?”
