Angry White Man  —  The bigoted past of Ron Paul.  —  If you are a critic of the Bush administration, chances are that, at some point over the past six months, Ron Paul has said something that appealed to you.  Paul describes himself as a libertarian, but, since his presidential campaign took off earlier …

RON PAUL BIGOTRY REVOLUTION  —  A damning New Republic expose on Ron Paul shows the “libertarian” Republican candidate to be a racist, a homophobe and an anti-Semite.  Will his diehard supporters continue to defend a man who called Martin Luther King a gay pedophile?
David Weigel / Reason Magazine:
Exclusive: Ron Paul Responds To New Republic Story  —  About an hour ago I followed Ron Paul outside the Radisson in Manchester, NH to get his response to James Kirchick's explosive New Republic piece, “Angry White Man."  The article goes through the Texas Republican's newsletters …

Obama, McCain Supporters Confident of Big Wins  —  The campaigns of front-running Sens. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) expressed growing confidence they would score major victories tonight in New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation presidential primary as large numbers of voters streamed to the polls.

Race, Polls, Obama  —  It now seems pretty clear that virtually all of the late polling on the Democratic side was wrong... very wrong.  The last Rasmussen Report had Obama +7 over Clinton.  CBS had him +7.  USA Today had Obama +13 and CNN +10.  —  With more than 25% of New Hampshire now reporting Obama is -5.

South Carolina  —  It will be interesting to see how a Huckabee-McCain fight will play out in South Carolina.  Will Huckabee—despite being so outraged by attacks on McCain recently—go after him hard?  Or will we begin to see the outlines of a McCain-Huckabee deal to put Huck on the ticket as VP?
