McCain earmark cutting would leave Military families out in the cold.
McCain's economic plan meets resistance on the Republican side as well, with Republicans in the House and Senate "split on some of the details, including a plan to stem the tide of foreclosures and another creating a summer gas-tax holiday."

McCain continues his transition to McCain 2.0 with his torture vote, as an LA Times editorial points out
So which is it, Senator?
The disgraced Tom DeLay is now stumping for McCain in Arizona. DeLay once said that he "might have to sit this one out" if McCain won the nomination.
A Huckabee pastor endorsement is being investigated by the IRS:
Today with 51 votes, the Senate successfully voted to declare that, as Senator Reid put it, "the Army Field Manual works and torture does not."
Huckabee refuses to face the music:
himself
He's still doing robocalls on Romney:
McCain got lost on his way to
the Senate floor:
"A Van Buren man paroled in 2004 after then-Gov. Mike Huckabee commuted his six-year prison sentence for fourth-offense DWI pleaded guilty to a new drunken driving charge Tuesday."
Maybe he should have invested in something else. Romney is getting
a bad return on candidacy:
McCain ignores Romney on the trail:
You remember those robocalls on Huckabee's behalf that Huckabee criticized? Well, it turns out that he has accepted contributions from that same group:
Huckabee's ever-growing list of ethics complaints gets a little bit longer:
From the Huffington Post: "The presidential candidate who sang "Bomb bomb Iran" is already looking towards the war after the war in Iraq."

South Carolina is no New Hampshire. Unfriendly faces greet McCain in the Palmetto State:
Yesterday I talked about Huckabee's flip-flop on immigration. After his top immigration surrogate claimed he supported a constitutional amendment to deny birthright citizenship -- and after his campaign refused to back away from it -- they later put out a statement reversing his position.
The morning after the primary, the GOP field remains in disarray
It's the understatement of the day, coming from Fred Thompson's wife, about how little Fred Thompson wanted to run: "It wasn't something that he had a burning desire for."
Giuliani's New York canvassers are trolling Red Sox Nation in Yankees garb, in advance of the primary:
Cheney?!?!?
Thompson may drop out if he (surprise) performs poorly in Iowa today, says the Politico citing officials close to his campaign.
1 & 2: Huckabee pulls a double gaffe on Pakistan question.
"Iowa Republican Party leaders say the level of activity and enthusiasm surrounding the 2008 campaign has not approached the level of eight years ago or the Democrats' race this year, reflecting in part a struggle among voters to find the right candidate."
Giuliani’s late-state strategy isn’t panning out exactly the way he planned:
Mitt didn’t actually mean his father marched with MLK, when he said that remembered seeing it.
We've all heard about business setting up "shell" companies overseas in order to take advantage of tax loopholes and avoid paying their fair share.
Romney 'doesn't recall' attending a Planned Parenthood fundraiser, but the photographic evidence is at Blue Mass Group.
He wants another two weeks. What exactly has he been doing the past 11 months?
Rudy exaggerated his record on his US Attorney service:
"Rudolph W. Giuliani’s consulting firm was hired in 2002 to help a Florida company build its business under a contract that called for Mr. Giuliani’s firm to be paid in part for lining up work with the federal government and other clients, company records show."
Because adding a tobacco company lobbyist to the ticket will distract from Giuliani's shady clients?
TNR gives us the latest from "the Hardest-Working Man In Show Business," Fred Thompson.
Giuliani continues to offer questionable excuses on Judi security expenses:
"They're undoubtedly intent upon nuclear weapons. I don't care what this latest NIE says. That's foolishness that represents our own inability to get a handle on it more than anything else." - Fred Thompson
So where will Fred Thompson be? He's not returning to New Hampshire, or at least isn't planning on it:
Huckabee, on one of the Sunday talk shows, said he still thinks that AIDS patients should have been isolated from the public:
Giuliani won't release client list or cut ties with his firm.
"Now that we're coming down to the last few precious days in the high-pressured presidential primary race to lead the country and the free world, former Sen. Fred Thompson of Tennessee is ramping up his campaign schedule."
Romney nixes landscaping company after hiring undocumented workers... again.
This was an important finding related to our nation's security that dominated the news coverage over the last couple days. Is this a show of the same kind of disinterest that presumably led to Bush trying to claim he wasn't briefed on the findings until last week?
Phone/email campaign highlights Giuliani's shady inner circle and includes mentions of "pedophile priest" accusations.
Mitt's twists and turns on abortion leave the voters wondering where he really stands:
Mitt and Rudy's ever-evolving positions:
Rudy describes an imaginary NYC in new ad. From Factcheck.org
On Fox News this weekend, Fred Thompson claimed Fox News was biased -- against him.
"The city will pay $125,000 to settle a suit by a former Correction Department officer who claimed that disgraced ex-Commissioner Bernard Kerik sidetracked his career because he's African-American."
Giuliani, once again, exaggerates NYC fiscal record:
Former Giuliani fundraiser pleads guilty to tax charges:
Loyalty trumps all in Giuliani's circle:
"New York City firefighters group critical of presidential contender and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani is bringing its message to the campaign trail in the first primary state."

From the Concord Monitor:
What does Romney’s Blackwater adviser say about him?
Now Kerik being sued for ‘stiffing’ his lawyers:
They continue to avoid talking to people of color.
He never said he was the 'unity' candidate.
Sure beats waiting tables.
Not the man he used to be.
The facts in his new radio ad aren't vetted and aren't true.
Fred Thompson staff turmoil--again.
What decade is this?
Maybe he doesn't like the cold.
Although "truthful" might be a different matter.
Is Rudy Giuliani becoming unhinged?
Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-CO) says he will leave the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008--no matter what happens with his long-shot presidential campaign.
Short memory, long life in politics.
Talk about setting the bar low.
With Red Sox World Series win, Giuliani stops moonlighting as a fan.
