Romney skips S.C., bets on Nevada  —  “This is a state I'd expect that Sen. [John] McCain has pretty well wrapped up,” Romney told reporters at the Sun City Hilton Head Retirement Center in Bluffton.  “It would be an enormous surprise if he were unable to win here.”

“The Free Pass for McCain is Over”  —  Yes, two days before South Carolina, it finally ends, according to a Huckabee adviser.  It's about time, because McCain has a solid lead in South Carolina in every poll, and if he wins there, he's going to be hard to stop (hate to sound like a broken record on this theme).

Anti-war groups retreat  —  After a series of legislative defeats in 2007 that saw the year end with more U.S. troops in Iraq than when it began, a coalition of anti-war groups is backing away from its multimillion-dollar drive to cut funding for the war and force Congress to pass timelines for bringing U.S. troops home.
