In Campaign '08, a week that started out naughty is winding up nice – mostly.
The earlier-than-ever Iowa caucuses take place in less than two weeks, and for the first time, Christmas is part of the homestretch. With one exception, candidates are avoiding negative messages lest they intrude on voters' holiday cheer. Instead, they're filling the airwaves and the Web with season's greetings – some lighthearted, some earnest, and most featuring Christmas trees.
The exception is former Gov. Mitt Romney (R) of Massachusetts, who appears to be in "whatever it takes" mode to halt the momentum of former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) of Arkansas. Mr. Huckabee has taken a solid lead among likely Iowa caucusgoers, thwarting Mr. Romney's plan to build potentially unstoppable momentum by winning the first two contests, Iowa and New Hampshire.
Makes me want to cry. Isn't that nice? Don't you wish it were that way not just on Christmas, but all year round, when people could be encouraging and uplifting one another in the Love of Christ, instead of concentrating and arguing on each others differences. This world would be lot better place if we did. Matter of fact, that would be a good New Year's resolution!
Mr. Romney, care to join us?
God bless!
