Jabs Sharpen in Final Week Before Voting   Email this Story Dec 26, 6:11 PM (ET) By DAVID ESPO (AP) Republican presidential hopeful, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, 2nd from right, at Robie's... Full Image   MT. PLEASANT, Iowa (AP) - The most wide-open presidential race in a half century pushed unpredictably into a decisive new phase Wednesday, the rhetoric a bit more pointed and the appeals a tad more urgent in the final run-up to the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary. "This is crunch time," said former Democratic Sen. John Edwards, and he spoke for all. In a race without front-runners, a brief Christmas lull yielded quickly in both early-voting states to a new round of subtle digs, outright criticism, fresh TV ads and stepped-up efforts by independent organizations.

McCain always said that the media is his base..., NH is just the latest proof. NH is just a microcosm of this phenomenon.

His talk about poor children going to bed hungry may rouse the far left in his party but in fact the lowest-income people are even more obese than the rest of us, not that the facts make the slightest difference to Senator Edwards. As an attorney, Edwards conned millions of dollars out of gullible juries, using junk science to create the impression that it was the fault of doctors when babies were born with birth defects. Republicans, as usual, seem to have more people who would make good presidents than people who would make good presidential candidates. Unfortunately for them, we have elections instead of coronations. ... The only candidate of either party who truly looks presidential is Mitt Romney. It was unfortunate that Mike Huckabee and others have tried to make his religion an issue. John F. Kennedy was supposed to have taken t...
