National conservative leaders are wondering who, if anyone, can stop Mitt Romney from walking off with the Republican nomination after his narrow win in Iowa and his expected comfortable victory in New Hampshire next week.

Yes, that’s another half-dozen—two each in New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida—on top of the 18 that have already taken place. This won’t help Republicans in their effort to deny President Obama a second term—quite the contrary. It means debates will ... Go To Article

By MB Snow at January 4, 2012 | 12:55 pm
Early this morning, as it became clear that Mitt Romney had won Iowa by the slightest of margins, his position remained somewhat unclear. Yes, the outcome was acceptable, and the race was still his to lose. But he had probably knocked out at least one and possibly as many as three opponents while simultaneously creating a monster.

By MB Snow at January 3, 2012 | 2:43 pm

The surprise was that a Senator from Colorado, Gary Hart, took second with 19% of the vote. Iowa had introduced the country to someone new and we in the Mondale campaign were caught ... Go To Article
