      McCain Takes Slim Florida Lead

      (Newser) - Apparently, Florida Governor Charlie Crist has the golden touch. John McCain rose 3 points overnight in Florida after Crist endorsed him Saturday, pulling ahead of Mitt Romney in the latest Reuters/Zogby poll. Most significantly, McCain wiped out Romney’s 6-point edge amongst conservatives. “One day doesn’t make a trend, but to gain three points in a day could be significant,” said pollster John Zogby. "McCain went from losing big among conservatives to a tie." More »

      Republicans Seek Edge in Calm Florida Debate

      (Newser) - The GOP debate in Florida remained a largely civil affair last night, with the leading candidates agreeing that the economy needs aggressive tax cuts and that Hillary Clinton has no business returning to the White House, the AP reports. In one of the few bits of drama, Mitt Romney took John McCain to task for voting against Bush's first tax cuts. McCain responded that it was the right move at the time and said he was "very proud" of his record as a fiscal conservative. More »

      Rivals Don't Hide Scorn for Mitt

      (Newser) - If the primary season were a popularity contest, Mitt Romney would have retired long ago. He’s the least liked among the Republican presidential candidates, fielding ugly insults from rivals angry about perceived attack ads, policy pandering, and endlessly deep pockets. The New York Times was unsurprised that unloved Romney stood alone and lonely as candidates mingled at a recent debate. More »

      'Likable, Schmikable'... Right?

      (Newser) - “Likable, schmikable. Isn't the nation at war?” asks the Chicago Tribune 's Julia Keller. Yet America's love for likable candidates (think George W.
