      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.

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton faced a smattering of applause, scattered boos, and a few walkouts at a Martin Luther King, Jr. event in New York today, ABC reports.

      Candidates Can't Buy Web's Love

      (Newser) - Candidates have spent loads of time and money learning a disappointing truth: you can’t control the Internet. Successful web campaigners like Howard Dean and Ron Paul give the reigns to eager online fans, letting their netroots define them, not vice-versa. That’s a welcome change, says the New York Times’ Matt Bai, from a soul-crushing era of strategic politics. More »
