      Edwards' New Plan: Outlast 'Celebrity Candidates'

      (Newser) - John Edwards may be running third among Dem hopefuls, but he vowed to stay in the race today with a new long-term strategy, the Chicago Tribune reports. He plans to roll online donations into ad campaigns in Super Tuesday states and a dozen others—including "red" ones—until the race narrows "to one of the two celebrity candidates and us," he wrote in an upbeat memo to supporters.

      Republicans Place Super Tuesday Bets

      (Newser) - With Super Tuesday looming, Republican contenders are ironing out their strategies for what an adviser to John McCain calls "a de facto national primary," the Washington Post reports. McCain and Rudy Giuliani have overlapping plans in California and the Northeast, Mike Huckabee is crossing his fingers in the South, and only Mitt Romney looks financially ready to go national.

      Clinton Still Leads in the Big States

      (Newser) - Barack Obama's landslide win in South Carolina gave the Illinois senator a hefty boost in the lead-up to Super Tuesday, but the big states are voting on Feb. 5, and Clinton holds the lead in most of them. The sheer diversity will prevent candidates from doing the whistle-stop campaigning that's gone into the races so far, and the demographic seem to play to her strengths, with large numbers of Latinos and white women. But many Democratic voters remain undecided, polls are often inaccurate, and Obama has the Kennedys on his side. More »

      How the Super Tuesday States Screwed Up

      (Newser) - The states that rushed to hold their primaries as soon into 2008 as possible are probably regretting it right about now, writes Slate’s Jeff Greenfield. It turns out that early momentum hasn't been generated, and Super Tuesday might not decide anything. That would give the straggling late states enough influence to land a campaign promise “worth its weight in ethanol.” More »

      Empty Coffers Force McCain From Stump

      (Newser) - With Florida's Republican primary nearing, John McCain is making a risky decision to trade stumping for fund-raising—an effort to fill coffers ahead of Super Tuesday competition against a rival who can loan money to his own campaign. McCain has seven donor events before Tuesday’s vote, an itinerary advisers say is necessary to mount an advertising push in the big states, the Hill reports. More »

      Dems Do Their Math on Feb. 5 Primary States

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton is all but ceding Saturday's South Carolina primary to Barack Obama, just one variation of the political calculus Democratic presidential candidates are using ahead of Super Tuesday primaries February 5, the Washington Post reports. Clinton will spotlight states with personal history—Arkansas and New York—and two with delegate counts—California and New Jersey. More »

      Huckabee May Cut Losses, Bail on Fla.

      (Newser) - Mike Huckabee is starting to hedge his bets in Florida. He's no longer making travel arrangements for journalists and may leave the state before Tuesday's primary to focus on his best Super Duper Tuesday prospects. “I don’t want to abandon Florida yet,” he said last night, but he won’t air any ads in the state and is campaigning in Atlanta today, the AP reports.

      Super Tuesday May Be Super Confused

      (Newser) - Some 70 million voters in 24 states will make their presidential primary picks in two weeks, but pundits doubt whether Super Tuesday will resolve 2008's muddled race in either party, McClatchy Newspapers report. "No one has ever seen anything like this," said one Bush-Cheney adviser. A political science professor conceded: "We're in uncharted territory." More »

      Rudy Trails McCain in NY: Poll

      (Newser) - Onetime favorite Rudy Giuliani lags John McCain in his home state, two polls out today report, in another blow to the ex-New York mayor's sputtering campaign. In a Siena College poll, 36% of New York Republicans support McCain, to Giuliani's 24%, while a WNBC poll put the split at 34% to 23%. Only last month, Giuliani held a 33-point lead over McCain.

      Rudy Needs Florida to Take NY

      (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani's supporters predict a distant finish in Florida's Jan. 29 primary will cost him in Feb. 5 voting in strongholds New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. A strategy of focusing on Florida while ignoring early states has seen Giuliani plummet in Republican polls. "If he carries Florida, he carries New York," one former adviser told the New York Times , but "I wouldn't bet on it." More »

      National Effort Straining Huck

      (Newser) - Mike Huckabee's campaign is still in post-Iowa shock, trying to figure how it can run nationally with a miniature war chest and paltry organization. The GOP candidate has no offices in any of the 21 states that vote Feb. 5—save in hometown Little Rock—and his third-place finish in Michigan was managed by a 28-year-old recruited less than a week before the vote.
