Giuliani chose the most hawkish team of foreign-policy advisors possible. His election would ensure neoconservative hegemony for years to come.
GOP Loses Its Life
By Tom Piatak
Nominating a social liberal would splinter a coalition that has been dominant in American politics for a quarter of a century.
Authoritarian Temptation

Matt Towery: Could Edwards Spoil Hillary and Obama's Party in Iowa?
Huckabee Leads in Iowa, Romney in New Hampshire Amid Divisions on Religion The early Republican presidential race is a tale of voters' divisions over religion, with former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee riding support from evangelical Christians to a dominant Iowa lead, and former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney well ahead in more secular New Hampshire.
Obama's Character, Clinton's Experience Split Early-State Voters in Poll Democrats are locked in a tight struggle in the initial Iowa and New Hampshire presidential contests, as voters weigh Barack Obama's personal qualities against Hillary Clinton's professional qualifications, a Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times survey of the two states shows.
Candidate Edwards Says Clinton, Obama Won't Change `System' in Washington Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards said neither of his two major opponents would bring substantial change to the way Washington works -- Hillary Clinton doesn't want to and Barack Obama doesn't know how.
Huckabee's Rise Drives Wedge Between Wall Street Republicans, Evangelicals Wealthy Republicans have a new political nightmare that may be scarier than Hillary Clinton: Mike Huckabee.

Presidential Rivals Sharpen Final `Change' Pitches as Iowa Caucuses Near After a yearlong campaign in Iowa, the Republican and Democratic presidential front-runners are boiling down their arguments to a six-letter word: change.
Ron Paul Raises $19.5 Million for Presidential Campaign, Rivalling Clinton Presidential candidate Ron Paul raised almost $20 million for his campaign in the last three months, potentially outpacing every one of his Republican rivals and putting his fundraising in league with Hillary Clinton's.
Obama's Indonesian Friends Recall a Would-Be Leader, Sometime Tattle-Tale Barack Obama's teachers and fellow students during his four years of grade school in Indonesia aren't all that surprised that he is now a top U.S. presidential candidate.
Giuliani Touts Anti-Terrorism Experience to Boost New Hampshire Campaign Republican presidential contender Rudy Giuliani returned to New Hampshire today to tout his experience on his last day of campaigning in 2007, a year that saw his lead in national polls shrink.

MICHAEL C. DORF Picking an Attorney in Chief: How the Lawyers Running for President Are Portraying their Legal Experience in their Campaigns FindLaw columnist and Columbia law professor Michael Dorf considers how each presidential candidate with a law degree is spinning his or her legal background in the context of the campaign. Among the candidates with a plausible chance of winning the primaries, Dorf points out, only John McCain and Mike Huckabee are not attorneys. That leaves Mitt Romney, Rudolph Giuliani, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards -- yet each has an individual take on the significance of his or her legal degree. Dorf considers how each lawyer-candidate has dealt with America's skepticism about attorneys by attempting to turn the degree into an asset, or at least neutralize it.
