Mike Huckabee's Week that Wasnew

Is John Edwards On the Ropes?new
Now that Barack Obama has "O-Mentum" courtesy of Oprah Winfrey, and the Clintons are said to be squabbling over who's sinking Hillary's inevitability faster, she or he, the national press is 24/7 about HC versus O-b.

God in The Cabinetnew
Mitt Romney says that he wouldn't put a Muslim in the cabinet because there just aren't enough of them in the United States to warrant it. I guess that means that right off the bat, Romney's using a quota system to decide who does deserve cabinet posts under a President Mitt.
