I will be doing the afternoon show on WPRO-AM in Providence (filling-in for Dan Yorke) today. With the Iowa caucuses only eight days away, and the New Hampshire primary to follow five days after that, of course my main topic will be Presidential politics.

Will first-time caucus goers in Iowa actually show up? If so, who benefits most?

Is John McCain enjoying a revival in New Hampshire (Jeff Jacoby says yes), and why is that so?

Grass roots activists are filling the void left by the collapse of the old order in the GOP, at least according to this Boston Globe piece.

If Health Care is a significant issue this year, then this poll of New Hampshire voters on the issue should be of some interest. Also in New Hampshire, one reporter for the New York Times writes about the scary spectre of empty seats as candidates criss-cross the state. Notice that in one particular venue, Mitt Romney faced empty seats, but Obama packed them in.

The New York Times also runs an interesting piece on page one questioning the experience level of Hillary Clinton. It makes one go "hmmmmm".
