Eight Critical Days for Candidates for the White House
After a brief truce to celebrate Christmas, eight days from the first elections, candidates for the White House resumed campaigning on Wednesday in Iowa (center) to try to convince the remaining undecided voters, in a race that looks very open.
Caucuses (Assemblies of voters) to separate the pretenders to the investiture of their party will be held on January 3 in Iowa and the more recently published opinion polls revealed extremely narrow gaps between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama on the Democratic side and Mike Huckabee and Mitt Romney on the Republican side.
Bottom row: the GOP’s Three Stooges!
Don’t be surprised if Wall Street tries to sabotage Huckabee and support Giuliani next year.
(how some see Huckabee and the GOP)
I hate to admit this, but I’m already sick and tired of all of them1 The extra long campaign season with its umpteen debates and idiotic post-debate commentary by the pundits has killed whatever spontaneous excitement there is in a presidential election. I’m this close to concluding that it hardly matters who we elect- we will still have partisan gridlock.
