      Fred Finally Jumps into the Fray on 'Jay'

      (Newser) - Pundits are accusing Fred Thompson of taking too long to announce his candidacy, a step he will take tomorrow night on Jay Leno. Poor fundraising and personnel problems have caught media limelight because Thompson wasn’t on the campaign trail, critics say. An adviser replies: "It's still not yet a campaign. Until you hit a date when the rubber hits the road, you can make mistakes." More »

      Clinton Plays Goldilocks

      (Newser) - Hillary Clinton works hard to stay in the middle, presenting herself as the "just right" choice between extremes by modulating her language incredibly carefully and emphasizing that she is the only candidate with the experience to effect change. The Politico's Roger Simon looks at a barnstormer so consistent that the length of her stump speech varies by only seconds. More »

      Ann Romney Speaks Out... on Her Family

      (Newser) - Ann Romney’s image as a demure stay-at-home mom separates her from more "modern" First Lady aspirants – and solidifies Mitt's plan to coax Christian conservatives to the polls, the Boston Globe reports. “His message is going to be, 'Not only am I against abortion and gay marriage, but I practice what I preach," says one analyst. "And voila, look at my beautiful stay-at-home wife." More »

      Romney: Dubya in Centrist's Clothing

      (Newser) - Mitt Romney’s centrist past and anti-bigot pleasantries are belied by the hardcore conservative base he’s building, writes the American Prospect ’s Garance Franke-Ruta. The Republican presidential hopeful's overtures to the middle echo those of George W. Bush's 2000 campaign—in which Bush ultimately won by relying on his social conservative base. More »

      Rivals Attack Rudy's Record as NY Mayor

      (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani uses his tenure as New York mayor as a badge of courage as he campaigns for the White House, but now his record is being turned against him.

      Dukakis to Dems: Make 'Chemistry'

      (Newser) - Michael Dukakis compares today’s political climate to the time of his own downfall in 1988, when George Bush Sr. overcame a 17-point deficit and whipped him 426-to-112 in the electoral college. Refusing to feel comfortable with the Dems’ advantage, Dukakis told the New York Observer that "We have to organize every damn precinct in the United States of America. I'm serious. Deadly serious.” More »

      New Hampshire Could Give McCain a Jolt

      (Newser) - John McCain’s candidacy may be getting dragged through the mud lately, but the presidential hopeful might have an ace up his electoral sleeve—New Hampshire.

      Iowa-Minded Candidates Learn to Love Ethanol

      (Newser) - To a presidential candidate who has an eye on Iowa—and who among them can afford not to?—ethanol is a political home run. The Hawkeye State hosts 28 refineries, and every one of the ’08 hopefuls has duly supported some form of ethanol subsidies. This despite the fact that, as Politico notes, reservations about ethanol as an alternative energy source have reached a fever pitch.  More »
