Dirty Pool in Iowa/NH

There's some serious Karl Rove style politics going on in Iowa on the GOP side.

First, we have the masked identity pro-Huckabee pushpoll calls from some 527 group. Then we find out the same group intends to "completely independently" continue the effort (with untraceable, unlimited 527 money, of course) including recruiting precinct captains for the caucuses. (Also on CNN.)

Then, of course, there's the ultimate Huckabee play, emphasizing in all his stuff that he is the "Christian" candidate, and then claiming he's not inciting religious bigotry against Romney. (Imagine if he ran as "the white candidate," and then tried to claim it's not bigotry because he never called his opponent black.)

Also, today we have a report that a group called "Iowans for Some Semblance of Christian Decency" were slipping anti-Huckabee fliers under the doors of the Marriott where there's a "pastor's conference" going on. The flier "lays out its interpretation of how the former Baptist minister's views run contrary to the Bible."

On to the Dems, the Clinton campaign tries to raise a mantra of Obama "dirty tricks," but frankly, it doesn't seem so.
