Here’s the headline: Clinton chairman: Obama would be good running mate a) I think they really mean it. b) It positions Hillary Clinton as the President, the winner and the “real” nominee for the Democratic party. c)

This misleading headline is found in the Deseret News of all places. Unfortunately for Mitt Romney it ran via the Associated Press.

Could Mike Huckabee be the next U.S. president?

Mike Huckabee has passed Mitt Romney in polling numbers in Iowa, and frankly, he’s been doing a better job during the candidate debates. – He’s second in Republican polling right now, and sometimes I think Giuliani has a little too much baggage. – He’s from the same town as Bill Clinton (Hope, Arkansas). Population 10,467.

The truth shows its face on Utah Vouchers
about 4 years ago - 14 comments
$9.3 million was approved by the Utah legislature for use on vouchers until it went to referendum and was voted down. So what’s going to happen to the money? It’s not going to public education because that’s not where the money came from. But again, voucher opponents and many teachers led a lot of people

Myth No. 2: Vouchers will divert money from schools

If you’ve been following the “Myths from the Opposition Series,” where I expose the untruths that opponents of the Utah Voucher program are spreading in Utah I’ve got a doozy of a white lie for you today. Get a load of this commonly believed baloney. Myth: Vouchers will divert money from public schools. Fact: This

Actually, all of Romney’s money can be spent in the primary, including the $2.35M he loaned to himself for startup costs in the first days of his candidacy, which in effect brings the total to $23M. He’s already spent half of that, but the half he has left is still more than the record $8.9M Al Gore raised in the first three months of 1999.
Romney has won the first major round of PR since the simple fact that he has raised the most on the GOP side will increase the amount of free publicity he receives, which he desperately needs in order to get his name out in the public eye over and over again until people start becoming interested and finding out what he’s all about. It’s going to take a lot of PR and expensive advertising for him to compete with the name recognition that Giuliani has going for him, but if Romney has any chance at all he seems to be making the best of it.

I’m not sure where you and Josh are getting your information, but Obama seems to be the clear winner out of all of the candidates so far:
(1) Obama received donations from more than 100,000 donors, far surpassing any other candidate, including Clinton (50,000), McCain (45,000), Edwards (40,000) or Romney (32,000)
(2) 90 percent of Obama’s donations were small donations of $100 or less
Obama has the largest base of supporters to keep going back to to raise more money and definitely has the most momentum in the press out of any candidate.

You make a good point. I did a lot of media research to find these numbers, and nobody had the same numbers.
