I'll be covering the debate tonight starting at 9 p.m. Eastern.  It will not be a "Live Event" but rather, me giving commentary as it goes, probably at the breaks as I have done for several other debates. In the meantime: Newt is sliding in the polls,...

We should defer to the judgment of people who run a cover like this? National Review is off the rails and off its rocker.  And plenty of their writers are having a good laugh about it on Twitter today. Related:  The making of an anti-Romney...

I don't think Newt really has any choice but to stay positive.  Deep down I think it's what people want, and in any event, he doesn't have the money to flood the airwaves in Iowa that way Paul and Romney's SuperPAC are doing. My worry? Positive may...

Various interesting stuff: Thursday night is Fox News Iowa Debate, starting at 9 p.m. Eastern.  I'll cover it, but haven't decided whether to do Live Event or simply commentary at the breaks.  What do you think? Moe Lane takes a look at the new Pennsylvania redistricting map,...
