Obama campaign warns of 'extremist' Republicans   "US President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign early Wednesday sought to portray the nation's first Republican nomination battle as a victory for "extremist" candidates."

Neal Boortz on the Iowa Caucuses  "Nearly 60% of those who voted for Santorum said that their number ONE issue .. now we’re talking NUMBER ONE here … was abortion.  That’s right:  With Iran threatening our U.S. Navy; with the economy still in the toilet … an economy that can’t produce enough jobs to keep up with population growth; with all the problems we’re facing as a nation the NUMBER ONE issue for these voters is whether or not a woman somewhere might be making the decision to terminate a preganancy?(sp)"

Kimberly Strassel: Mr. Good Enough  "Voters aren't convinced by Mitt Romney. They're not certain of his convictions; they wonder if he is the leader for these times; they're not sold on his policies or his personality. Yet voters may be about to make the former Massachusetts governor the Republican nominee for the presidency. Mark this down as the triumph of strategy over inspiration."

NRO Symposium:  What Iowa Means  "But the big story ought to be Romney. He has all the king’s horses and all the king’s men supporting him, the print MSM and most segments on Fox News Channel in his favor, yet for the second time in four years, 75 percent of Iowa caucus-goers rejected him. Frontrunner? Sure. Electable? Maybe. Inevitable? Not so fast."

Why Romney and Santorum Fought to a Draw in Iowa  "The big story in Iowa appears to be that Romney’s camp is getting the result it wanted despite a merely workmanlike showing for their own candidate. That’s because the Iowa results will elevate Paul and Santorum, who face the greatest hurdles in building a national campaign, while depressing Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry -- either of whom might have had more chance to emerge as a threat to Romney if they had received a boost from Iowa."

Roger L Simon:  Ron Paul’s Foreign Policy Dies in Iowa  "So Paul has had his value, though like so many “true believers” he has trouble integrating the orthodoxies of his ideology with the realities of the world. This is particularly odd since he is old enough to have grown up in the shadow of World War II and Hitler and then of the evils of Stalin and Mao. Such things do not just “go away” if you are a “good libertarian.” Paul is in a sense the anti-Reagan – peace not through strength but through ideological purity."


Is it Jon Huntsman's turn to be the 'not Romney' candidate?
