We wonder why. By the way, McCain and Giuliani have decided to pass up the Iowa straw poll. Romney\u2019s already 17 points ahead there, which may be why they\u2019re doing it. They\u2019re pulling outta there and not participating, and they\u2019re trying to blunt Romney\u2019s victory by saying, &#8216;Well, he had a victory over straw men because they weren\u2019t there,\u2019 but it could go the other way, too. It\u2019s not the Hawkeye cauci. It\u2019s just a straw poll, but the two front-runners are backing out of and not wanting to play ball because Romney has such a lead in Iowa right now. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The Congressional Black Caucus has dug in its heels in defense of the indicted Congressman William Jefferson (Democrat-Louisiana) and they expressed concerns of the House ethics investigation on Congressman Jefferson\u2019s alleged corrupt activities could influence and even poison a future jury trial.\u2019 This is reported in The Hill newspaper. <\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Newt Gingrich Says 4-to-1 Odds Against his Running for President.\u2019 He has more to say about it. He\u2019s making a speech, I think, tomorrow before the American Enterprise Institute. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot of fallout that\u2019s happening in the Democrat Party over Edwards. Now, get this. &#8216;Some Democrat Party regulars are starting to admit that&#8230;\u2019 These are not candidates, but power brokers, consultants, this kind of thing. They\u2019re starting to say that Edwards is making them mad. They don\u2019t like him personally, because he\u2019s going in a direction that they don\u2019t want the Democrat Party to publicly go, and that\u2019s this class envy business. The Democrats are that, but that\u2019s one of the things they want to keep masked and camouflaged, and Edwards is being too visible and too open about this class envy campaign that he\u2019s running, and it\u2019s got some of them upset. So there\u2019s all kinds of little things going on in the Democrat Party that are not making it into the mainstream of the Drive-By Media. <\/p>\n<p>I mentioned earlier that Mrs. Clinton\u2019s camp cannot be happy about the latest USA Today\/Gallup poll that shows Barack Obama one point over. That\u2019s a statistical tie, but I don\u2019t think she ever thought &#8212; or Clinton, Inc. ever thought &#8212; that Obama would get this close, this soon. So it\u2019s going to require some strategerical changes in the way they deemed with this guy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8216;The AP\u2019s latest national Republican presidential poll was underway on Monday night, and by yesterday afternoon, some raw numbers began rolling in, and analysts were surprised by the initial take. &#8216;If things keep progressing the way they do, some Republicans are in for a surprise,\u2019 said an AP employee familiar with the statistics that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
