Iowa Dispatch: Edwards Populism v. Huckabee Populismnew
Huckabee's routine contains little that appeals to the common man's wallet besides the promise to end dependence on foreign oil and the cry to abolish the IRS and enact the FairTax -- a policy that is hardly in the economic interest of the lower and middle classes. Edwards, on the other hand, had a firm grasp on specific government policies that concern working people.

Who's Supporting Whom in Oregon?new
Tied with Kentucky as the sixth-to-last state to vote, Oregon has about as much weight in picking the presidential nominees as a zero to the left of a decimal point. But what happens in early-voting states does matter here -- at least for people who could gain considerable clout depending on who gets the nomination.
