Republican governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas says Hillary Clinton will be tough for Republicans to defeat in 2008. He says Hillary has "rock-star quality that she brings just by walking into a room and sucking the oxygen out of it."
As does Newt Gingrich in an interview to air tonight on NY1: "She had the courage to say to the Left Wing of her party: 'that's wrong.' Any Republican who thinks they can beat her with a cheap and nasty campaign is crazy."
The Times new-ish political blog on national politics has Colin Powell's letter to John McCain where Powell writes, "The world is beginning to doubt the moral basis of our fight against terrorism."
John Faso put up a website so people can calculate how much their taxes will increase under a Governor Spitzer.
Jeanine Pirro and Andrew Cuomo have begun to debate about debates already.
Pirro's husband got a speeding ticket. Again. This time, doing 51 in a 25 mph zone near a school.
Senator Serph Maltese's 101-year-old uncle passed away.
The Brennan Center wonders how many handicapped voters were disenfranchised on Tuesday.
One-time gubernatorial candidate Pat Manning, who is running for re-election to the Assembly, lost his Independence Republican Party primary.
Eliot Spitzer, take note: Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico has just taken the "new sheriff in town" theme to a whole new level.
Hillary.org has the victory speech KT McFarland never delivered.
And pictured above is an Assembly candidate who used Photoshop to get some help from Hillary.

The Brennan Center did not ask how much money it cost so 580 voters used a machine rather than the absentee ballot they used to use. Money that could have been used to help disabled people in a meaningful not symbolic way.
Pat Manning lost the Republican not the Independence Primary.
KT! Your heart will go on!
Since when was Ruiz backed by the Times Post and Daily News? or Hillary? The guy is a perennial loser.
Democrats are bad for dads.
Government reform and clean corporate conduct = good for dads!
Ruiz is such a joke and a jerk.
At what point does John Ruiz get hauled off to jail for the fraud he continually commits?
Of course, Rs like Gingrich want Clinton to be the Democratic candidate in 2008. She'd be so easy to beat!
Let's put to bed the now hoary myth that she's a "rock star" who sucks all the oxygen out of the room. She flexes her political muscle and intimidates. That's not the same thing as shining.
