...standing junior, has turned his sights onto the broader campaign as the chair of Massachusetts Students for Rudy and the secretary of the California Chinese American Republican Association. He says he now spends up to 15 hours a week identifying potential supporters and pushing them to financially contribute and vote...
...Huckabee's sincerity is not in doubt. But Evangelicals rarely move in unison. Previous candidates who tried to win the nomination by monopolizing them have had their moments--the Rev. Pat Robertson did surprisingly well in the Iowa caucuses in 1988--but eventually lost. Usually Evangelicals have split their vote, and their influence has thus permeated the party.

It took place Wednesday, Dec. 5, more than 48-hours after voting had started. I don’t think the official Election Commission e-mail announcing the debate (“Come early to make sure you get a seat!”) was meant to be funny, but I’m sure to the 30 people that showed up, it was hilarious.
