- 4 Takes on the Clinton Win
  
  Daily Dish (The Atlantic) | Jan 9, 08 2:07 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - What's the take on the Clinton upset, the morning after? Four responses from across the spectrum: Obama-supporting rightie Andrew Sullivan says a media pile-on on Hillary Clinton sparked “voter backlash.” He’s partly “crushed,” but also excited that the candidates will now fight “a long slog” that will bring out their real strengths.

- Rudy Did Try in NH—and Still Failed
  
  ABC News | Jan 9, 08 9:37 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - Rudy Giuliani shrugged off his 9%, fourth-place showing in New Hampshire last night, citing his strategy to skimp there and go for the bigger states with later primaries — Florida, New York and California. But the numbers belie that claim, reports ABC News. Giuliani attended 126 pre-primary events in New Hampshire, according to the network's count, well outstripping winner John McCain's 104. Only Mitt Romney, who made it to 176 events, outdid him. More »

  New York Times | Jan 9, 08 8:45 AM CST
  
  (Newser) - John Edwards isn't letting a distant third-place finish in the New Hampshire primary get him down, and certainly isn't letting it count him out. "Two races down; 48 states to go," the upbeat Democratic candidate told supporters last night. The Edwards camp projects a resurgence in primaries in the Southern states, reports the New York Times.

- Candidates spread thin in the push to Feb. 5
  
  Boston Globe | Jan 9, 08
  
  MANCHESTER, N.H. - Just under a month before a Feb. 5 mega-primary potentially involving half the voters in the United States, both parties are now without a clear front-runner, with two Democrats fighting for the lead and at least four Republicans jostling to establish themselves as national contenders.
- Dem front-runners face urgent choices
  
  Politico | Jan 9, 08
  
  As they confront the prospect of competing in 25 states in the next 27 days, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama face urgent strategic choices over message, money and time. Obama boasted that he is ready for "rough and tumble" tactics, but it's unclear how tough he can get without positioning himself as a conventional politician and undermining his own appeal as unifying figure.
- After NH, What’s Next?
  
  New York Times | Jan 7, 08 8:36 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - After tomorrow's New Hampshire primary separates the early winners from losers, the trail will change radically, the New York Times reports. South Carolina, Nevada, and Florida will bring more diverse racial demographics into play and turn up the heat on bread-and-butter issues. "All of a sudden you’re playing on a magnified stage," recalls a strategist who worked with John McCain in 2000. More »

- Huckabee Tests Limits of Faith
  
  Los Angeles Times | Dec 31, 07 7:05 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Mike Huckabee is banking on his deep Christian faith drawing voters to him in the presidential primaries, but that same passion has proven a liability in the past. As Arkansas governor, Huckabee made several religious molehills into mountains big enough for Moses, the LA Times reports in an examination of his tenure. Detractors called the religiosity of the man they dubbed the "Rev.-Gov." high-handed. More »
- 5 GOP Frontrunners All Have Fighting Chance
  
  Politico | Dec 25, 07 12:53 PM CST
  
  (Newser) - Just days before the primary polling starts, the GOP presidential race is so unsettled, there's a plausible scenario that gives any of the top four candidates—and even the trailing Fred Thompson—the nomination. Politico plays out what would have to happen for each of them to prevail. Romney needs Iowa; if he gets it, with New Hampshire a quick follow, he's on a roll. More »

- It's Down to Rudy and Mitt
  
  Weekly Standard | Oct 31, 07 12:24 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - The baffling race for the GOP nomination is now down to two, argues the Weekly Standard ’s Fred Barnes: Only Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani have what really matters in the primary fight—“credible” paths to victory. Mitt’s the early-state favorite, the man to beat if he captures Iowa and New Hampshire. Rudy’s “scenario” involves winning Florida and then steamrolling on Super Tuesday. The best bet for the others? Pray for a miracle. More »

- Clinton, Obama Oppose Primary Leapfrogging
  
  Washington Post | Sep 2, 07 12:32 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama joined three of their presidential rivals yesterday in pledging not to campaign in states that have defied Democratic primary rules by pushing their primaries to early 2008. In recent weeks, Michigan and Florida have announced votes before February 5, challenging the first dibs the party has reserved for Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Nevada. More »

- Hillary Sticks With Iowa Strategy
  
  New York Times | May 24, 07 2:29 PM CDT
  
  (Newser) - Hillary Clinton rejected a top adviser's plan to bypass the Iowa caucuses, the New York Times reports, and she'll visit the state this weekend. An internal memo suggested focusing money and time on February 5's 20-state Super Tuesday instead of the January 14 caucuses. All but one of the last 14 nominees have won Iowa, New Hampshire, or both. More »
