New Des Moines Register poll
Well, looks like we were wrong with our “inside info” on both counts (sort of). The DMR poll, the last Iowa poll before the caucuses, has been released and has Huckabee and Obama with somewhat sizable leads. See below…
REPUBLICANS -
Mike Huckabee - 32%
Mitt Romney - 26%
John McCain - 14%
DEMOCRATS -
Barack Obama - 32%

More signs of Edwards’ mojo
If Huckabee has been the loser of the news from Iowa over the last week, John Edwards has definitely been the benefit of some real gains and solid momentum. That continued today as crowds at his events grew, Hillary started to take serious shots at his campaign - a sure sign that HRC is worried, […]
Video: Huckabee’s pulled negative ad
Some grainy video of the infamous Huckabee ad trashing Romney (and boy, does it trash Romney…on everything) that was introduced in Iowa this afternoon - before Huck pulled the plug on it immediately.

Huckabee hits back
With the swirling torrent of negative ads and verbal attacks on Huckabee emanating from the Romney camp, it was only a matter of time before Huckabee launched some personal strikes of his own on the ex-Mass. governor.

The Buzz
Three days to go until the caucuses and the Obama campaign is exuding sober confidence - with just a hint of reality thrown in. Campaign manager David Plouffe told the media in a conference call this morning that Obama is doing well in Iowa and that they’re pleased with the latest numbers in polling and overall […]
When Fred Failed
Everyone says he’s lazy. But former Senator Fred Thompson isn’t lazy, or lacking in ambition. He simply refuses to jump through the hoops and perform the other assorted tricks that the media and the voting public have demanded of candidates for president in this obscenely front-loaded presidential election campaign. His standing in […]
Huckabee and Obama on “Meet The Press”
Meet The Press had the most intriguing (using that word a lot lately..) lineup of the Sunday shows today: Huckabee then Obama - in that order.
While Obama’s interview was rather bland, Huckabee showed why he was beginning to sink in the polls, muffing some Q’s on recent pro-immigrant comments and saying that doctors who perform […]
Edwards, the angry (and popular…) populist, on the rise in Iowa
We’ve felt for some time now that John Edwards is one of the most intriguing candidates to watch in Iowa on either side, and he is proving it in the final days before the caucuses. He’s gone from being a campaign afterthought last month to being first in some fresh polls (see PB’s post on it […]
