  • MA Gov. Mitt Romney's (R) CoS Beth Myers is "leaving state employment" to serve as dir. of Romney's Commonwealth PAC (AP).

  • An internal poll for Dem Paul Hodes shows him essentially tied with incumbent Charlie Bass in NH's 2nd CD.

  • New Hampshire Union Leader publisher Joseph McQuaid takes the screws to Howard Dean.

  • SC Dem candidates are scrambling for cash ahead of '08. Is scrambling the right word? Well, the disparty between GOP and Dem candidates (and even parties) in SC is pretty big.

  • We're not too wonky to enjoy the prospect of a Ravenel v. Rainey debate about the economy in South Carolina. In fact, with our green eye shades on, we'd love for such debates to be mandatory across the country.

  • Stephen Colbert, on the threat posed by Jimmy Carter's son/NV SEN candidate Jack Carter: "If you put him in office, he's going to take you back to the Carter years! And in Nevada, that means hooker rationing" ("Colbert Report").
