First, welcome to all the new readers out there and thanks for visiting. Jan. 2nd isn't over yet but we have already passed our normal page visit total by two-fold today.
Most of this is due to all the political stuff going on and a bunch of hits checking out the "Cloverfield" clip. I'm very excited about the movie coming out. Hopefully, it won't be a disappointment [BTW, I went to see "I Am Legend" over the weekend. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. Too many digital effects. If you haven't seen it yet, rent "Omega Man," the original, instead].
It's the eve of the Iowa Caucuses. It's finally here and it couldn't come fast enough. I will be posting commentary late into the evening tomorrow or into Friday morning, if it takes that long. Also, I'll be at events around New Hampshire and posting some pre-primary thoughts up until the Tuesday, Jan. 8 primary.
DailyKos has a poll up. With more than 20,500 voters, here is the ranking: Edwards 49 percent, Obama 27 percent, Clinton 8 percent, Dodd 4 percent, Kucinich 4 percent, No freakin' clue 2 percent, Biden 2 percent, Other 1 percent, Richardson 1 percent, and Gravel at 1 percent.
DailyKos founder Markos, after getting hammered by people on his site after he took some shots at Barack Obama, decides to flip back into the undecided category: ["Factors in making my choice"]. He lives in California [his wife is from Londonderry and was featured in the New Hampshire Union Leader last Sunday] so his vote won't be important for a couple of weeks. It will be interesting to see what he ends up doing. In 2004, he endorsed John Edwards [Just as an aside, it was hilarious to read Markos and his wife talking up their Web sites, saying it was all about allowing people to participate. I just about choked on my pancakes thinking, Yeah, if you are a member of the Markos approved political party, since I've been banned from the site three times over the last six years for being too independent].
Another poster on DailyKos today, a woman named Sarah, described her experience at a Hillary Clinton event in Iowa. Apparently, Hillary is calling herself a "modern progressive" now. Damn, it is becoming a theme a week with her, not a theme a month. Sarah, at the end, revealed she is supporting Edwards.
Roger Simon is reminding people in this piece that Hillary's campaign said she should pull out of Iowa back in May: ["Should Hillary Clinton have skipped Iowa?"]. So, if she loses ...
Mike Huckabee is getting hit everywhere for deciding at the last minute to not air a bombastic negative television ad against Mitt Romney: ["Did Huckabee Go Too Far?"]. Have we really become that cynical? So, it's a little flaky. Big deal. People change their minds. It isn't easy to run for president. The ad ended up airing on FoxNews, with the almost gleeful Carl Cameron, yucking it up that he got it. That clip was on Comcast.net but not available to post. Here are some other clips:
While this might be thought of as a stupid thing to do in politics, you know, at some point, we have to get back to the issues. And Romney, Rush Limboob, and Howie Carr, look really desperate attacking Huckabee over some really small potato things.
The Phoenix hammers Romney here ["Shameless"].
And then, there is this, a Massachusetts conservative group trying to shed some light on Romney's flip-flopping: ["A Stern Warning to 'Conservative Elites' about Mitt Romney"].

There is nothing new here. It is Romney’s character through-and-through — he is a slick salesman who will say anything, regardless of the truth or the consequences, in his vain quest for self-promotion. In his first race for public office, in 1994, he fabricated stories of his mother’s abortion-rights activism, and falsely claimed to have had no knowledge of, or authority over, the heartless sacking of employees at a company bought by his leveraged-buyout firm. As far back as 1978, we now learn, Romney was so bold a liar as to claim, to the Boston Herald, that he personally had marched with Dr. King.Wow ... but doesn't that kinda nail it on the head though?
