      Green Group Blasts Media for Backing Off

      (Newser) - Prime-time journalists have asked this year’s presidential candidates 2,975 questions, just six of which mentioned climate change, according to one conservation group’s tally. That puts global warming just ahead of UFOs (mentioned three times) in frequency, Salon reports. “We’ve gone through the longest primary in our history,” said one advocate, yet “these reporters are ignoring the most pressing issue.” More »

      Wrangle for Delegates Takes Over Primary Race

      (Newser) - Candidates are taking a much closer look than they used to at the arcane art of winning delegates, not states, in this year’s presidential primaries, reports the New York Times . For the first time in 20 years, the headline-grabbing early races haven’t determined the national outcome, and candidates now face a complex and costly race to win delegates district by district.

      '08 Prez Campaigns Going Broke

      (Newser) - Despite record fund-raising, top presidential hopefuls in both parties have blown almost all of their cash, the New York Times reports. Efforts to knock out opponents early have cost candidates at least $320 million, or 80% of what they have raised. With Super Tuesday fast approaching, “there is definitely some belt-tightening,” said one Barack Obama spokesman. Unless, of course, if you have Mitt Romney’s vast personal fortune. More »

      New Hampshire Primary Jan. 8 Earliest Ever

      (Newser) - New Hampshire today set its primary for January 8, the earliest in state history. New Hampshire always stages the first primary in the nation, and it had to start even earlier this year because several other states moved up their dates to gain influence, the AP reports. New Hampshire will vote five days after the Iowa caucuses. More »

      Hillary Vulnerable in National Poll

      (Newser) - Americans want a Democratic president, a new Wall Street Journal / NBC News poll shows—but they're not as sure they want it to be Hillary Clinton. Though respondents favored a Democrat to replace President Bush, 50% to 35%, Clinton runs in a dead heat with Republican frontrunner Rudy Giuliani. “I just don't totally trust her,” said one 1990s supporter of Bill Clinton.

      (Newser) - Mitt Romney's early lead in the GOP race for New Hampshire has evaporated; Rudy Giuliani is now in a dead heat with the former Massachusetts governor in a new CNN-University of New Hampshire poll. Though Giuliani has been the nationwide frontrunner, Romney had a 14-point lead in NH in July. Now, 25% of likely Granite State voters  say they're planning to pick Romney,  24% Giuliani. More »
