2008 Today in Presidential Politics; Or, 13 Days Until the Iowa Caucuses
posted by on December 21 at 11:45 AM
Ok, yes, 13 Days: Commenters have been questioning my ability to count the days until the Iowa caucuses. Look, depending on whether you count today it’s either 13 days or 14 days until the caucuses. But the New York Times says 13 days, so I will change my today-counting ways.
Moving on: Giuliani feels fine, but won’t say exactly what was ailing him.
Facts are stubborn things: And yet Mitt Romney has consistent trouble with them.
Woman on the cross: Noonan finds Huckabee’s Christmas commercial “so sweet-appalling.”
Ludicrous: Condoleezza Rice comes up with a different way to describe Huckabee.
Under orders: No one in camp Clinton is allowed to predict an Iowa win.
Leak free: The Obama campaign.
How to rig an election: From a guy who should know.
Desperate times: When is a catalog of attacks really an attack?
Bill on Hill: In New Hampshire.
Conservative cameo: For an unhappy Obama.
The looming nine-month general: Which causes Ben Smith to ask a good question.
And a long one, with lots of banjo action:
I was hoping you'd keep up with the New Math. Then on January 2nd you could tell us that tomorrow is two days away, Little Orphan Annie be damned!
Can you please not repeat the phrase "Bill on Hill"? It conjures images up I'd rather not see.
Thanks!
Remember, it's not the votes that are counted.
It's the votes that are turned away, turned off, or uncounted by electronic machines we don't even have source code for that lack an auditable paper trail.
What's one day from today? Tomorrow, right? So if you count today, it's 13 days.
I suppose it could be 14 days if you count today twice...
There is custom and law. In those areas, you don't count today. Today is not one day from today.
And you don't count Saturday or Sunday or Holidays in periods less than seven days ... but that's Day Counting 401.
