From the breakfast news buffet line:
The Overrated One offers perhaps the Register's first convention mention and a mixed take on the Fallon showing.
His idiosyncrasies rankled some. Such things are not as important as the Great Issues of Our Times, but over the years they irritated many key players in the political community. Today, they do not see him as gubernatorial material. Or electable in November. A good protest candidate? Yes. Iowa's Dennis Kucinich? Perhaps. Governor? No.
Yet those same idiosyncrasies make him attractive to many of the true believers and left-of-center zealots who themselves often feel like misfits in a political system they believe has gone askew.
Anyway, Yepsen is worth the read today and gets the reluctant link love.
The Biggest Loser, Mike Huckabee, is back in Iowa and needs to update his pop culture references:
"'In our lifetimes, we've seen our country go from 'Leave it to Beaver' to 'Beavis and Butt-head,' from Barney Fife to Barney Frank, from 'Father Knows Best' to television shows where father knows nothing.'"
Huh huh, huh, we've been off the air eight years, you dumbass, huh huh, huh. He could have at least found an alliteration for South Park... But it could have been worse, he could have called them "Buffcoat and Beaver" like Fritz Hollings did.
LiberalOasis has a straight out of 1996 layout but sometimes some good content. Take on South Dakota:
Roe still has five votes on the Supreme Court (Anthony Kennedy is a weak Roe supporter. He has backed significant restrictions, but has refused to overturn.)
The name of the conservative game is still to chip away at Roe (a strategy designed by now-Justice Sam Alito), gutting it gradually, because the Republican Party still fears the aforementioned backlash.
The right-wing in South Dakota is freelancing, most likely to the chagrin of national Republicans...
Looks like they're "freelancing" in Mississippi too.
First primary of the season tonight in Texas. Key contests:
