I’m going to pass along some extended quotes that caught my eye over the weekend.

The Politico is saying that Mitt Romney is “Dialing down expecations…. hard”.

Mitt Romney, a dominant favorite in New Hampshire just weeks ago, said Sunday that a “close second” to Arizona Sen. John McCain would be a significant feat

Feet first

Yeah, that’s what I said.  Weird collection. It’s from an outfit called “World Wide Fred”

No, I’m not getting anything for the mention; it just struck me as interesting.  BBCT: SimpleBits.

I gather they’re all made from recycled truck tires…

I strongly disagree with the Fox All-Star panel.  “They all” did not do well tonight.  Huckabee demonstrated why he should not be the GOP nominee.  He lost.  He did badly.  He was rambling at times.  He was dissembling at times.

In kicking around the blogs today, particularly the leftie blogs, I’m seeing a word that is often used and usually misunderstood, or at least ill-defined in context.

As we enter the eighth year of the Bush-Cheney administration, I have belatedly and painfully concluded that the only honorable course for me is to urge the impeachment of the president and the vice president.

That’s George McGovern, in

Matt Yglesias, who I usually have serious disagreements with, points out that Hillary Clinton may well be on the wrong scent, here:

Hillary Clinton’s campaign seems determined to convince Barack Obama’s detractors in the blogosphere that he is so

James Joyner, earlier today:

George Will closes a subpar (by his standards, at least) column on the silly populism of Mike Huckabee and John Edwards with this praise for Barack Obama:

Although [Mike] Huckabee and [John] Edwards profess to loathe and vow to change Washington’s culture, each would aggravate its toxicity. Each overflows with and wallows in the pugnacity of the self-righteous who discern contemptible motives behind all disagreements with them,

Ran through it on delay, just now, and that’s my take.

Armbinder at The Atlantic agrees:
