Odds & Ends

I am not the least bit surprised that Mike Huckabee isn’t running for president. I’ve been saying as much for a very long time. He likes ze money too much. Now, all of his voters will run to Rick Santorum, right? Baptist, Catholic, what’s the difference?

Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich is in, and he got invited on Meet the Press where David Gregory tried to be tough on him, but just couldn’t get it done. After the interview, Mark Halperin declared Gingrich the most underrated candidate in the race. Could be true. What’s his competition?

If you think we have it bad, have you seen this story? When the opposition to Sarkozy is under arrest in New York for raping a chambermaid, you know your country’s politics are screwed up.

What are you up to this weekend? It’s supposed to rain on us for a straight week.
