Political bits
(LATimes) "Republican strategists are beginning to fear that a deteriorating economy will pose serious obstacles for their party's presidential candidates, who may ultimately have to answer for rising gas prices and a slumping housing market."
(Politico) The wide open Republican race has led to lots of sharp catfights. The latest, McCain goes after Giuliani on Kerik, and Giuliani's campaign responds by bringing up the Keating 5.
Later: (Politico) The McCain Giuliani fight continues and gets nastier.
Later: (AP) McCain takes a loan for $3 million, and an outside 527, which is hiding its donors, begins pimping for the "campaign finance reformer" in South Carolina.
Later Still: (TheHill) McCain disavows the 527 ads in SC, and asks that they stop being run. (And still more McCain/Giuliani nastiness.)
(WSJblog) Romney comes up with new ads on immigration. (They must have polling showing Giuliani as vulnerable.)
(Rasmussen) Romney stretches his lead in New Hampshire.
(Politico) Undenied rumors that James Dobson may endorse Huckabee. (A big thumb in the eye to the GOP establishment.)
(ThinkProgress) A Bernie Kerik defense fund is launched.

The GOP strategists are right to worry. If the public makes a connection between high oil prices and Bush' war they'll have some spinning to do.

And, the mortgage mess. I remember Bush crowing over and over about the percentage of homeownership. (Bad loans that are coming due.)
