Candidate Odds and Ends

So much candidate news going into primary season, it needs its own post...

Barack Obama gets a boost in Iowa with Kucinich telling his supporters to pick Obama as their second choice. Kucinich had done this for Edwards in 2004.

Speaking of, John Edwards says "that if elected president he would withdraw the American troops who are training the Iraqi army and police as part of a broader plan to remove virtually all American forces within 10 months." This is a more aggressive plan than others.

Moving on to the Republican side, Mike Huckabee warns Americans of the dangerous threat of gay sex. He also went after Mitt Romney for not having executed anyone as Governor. Praise Jeebus!

Ron Paul's more mainstream supporters are shocked, shocked to see the totally non-bigoted libertarian appealing to xenophobia and racism in a new ad. Lordy, get my fainting couch.

Finally, Rudy Giuliani really likes war(s). John McCain too.
