Mike Huckabee's Week that Wasnew
Huckabee's early devotion to the genial care and feeding of the national press paid dividends in his gaffe-ridden week. Many of the major news organizations treated the stories as little more than campaign blips or the work of opponents trailing in the polls.

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. JE does not compute. Inconveniently, however, Edwards continues to be a close third in Iowa polling.
