CBS Horserace blogger David Miller tries to make Mitt look wishy washy by creating controversy where there isn’t any.  Surely there must be some issue more important for Miller to follow. 

The AP’s Liz Sidoti reports on Mitt’s taking Huckabee and Rudy to task on their immigration stance. 

CNN’s Mark Preston breaks down Mitt’s advertising budget.  Yes, it is a lot of cash.  That’s what a start up operation with little to no name recognition takes.  Anyone who has a remote understanding of marketing understands that. 

More endorsements for Mitt. 

The Boston Globe’s Michael Levenson reports on Mitt’s “methodical” style of campaigning.   That’s how ground games are won – methodically at three to four yards every play. 

The LA Times’ James Rainey takes a skeptical look at Mitt’s attitude towards his Bay State health care plan.  Here’s the bottom line – Mitt can’t control what Deval Patrick does with the program he started.

The AP’s Glen Johnson writes up some ideas Mitt has for helping Veterans. 

Sigh.  Is this kind of reporting really necessary?

Mitt’s rising in Iowa and New Hampshire. 

The Union Leader’s Gary Rayno has a piece on Mitt’s walk through Manchester.

Some time ago, Martin Frost wrote an excellent column on those people who use Mitt’s Mormonism as a principal reason for opposing his run for the Oval.  Well, today he published some of the email responses he received to that column – each one filled with virulent anti-Mormon diatribes.  Frost states these were only a minority of the responses he received, and I guess this begs the question:  Why, Mr. Frost, did you lend voice to such a hate filled minority voice?  Did you really need to give a megaphone for them to vent their spleen?  Your first column was exceptional.  This column is a waste of space.  End Memo.

The New York Times’ Sarah Wheaton has a link to a CNN story on Mitt discussing – don’t hold your breath – his religion.  Here’s the real non-surprise – Mitt and Bob Jones disagree on most things religious.
 

Yes, John McCain’s Mom made some statements on Mitt and Mormons that made it past her internal sensor.  She’s in her 90s.  That happens.  Next.
