Despite the success of the surge the media is still finding negative material to report related to our current President. Right now, it's the economy.
Also OPEC has been asked to up oil output.
These are all good topics for the next debate and for TV spots over the next days as the candidates trudge towards Super Tuesday.
Romney is still trying in Michigan, and McCain has support among independents...hmmm.
Today Drudge has up an interesting bit of footage of Katie Couric off air.
Ron Paul is still sending out press releases, don't forget he has not withdrawn from the race yet.
PAUL BLASTS GAS TAX PROPOSAL AS“OUT OF TOUCH WITH THE AMERICAN PEOPLE”

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul says a proposal to raise the federal gasoline tax is the last thing the American people need in a slumping economy. The recommendation comes from a panel made of corporate executives and government bureaucrats commissioned by Congress in the 2005 transportation bill. Congressman Paul was one of nine votes in the House against the bill.
“This is a great example of how out of touch big government and big business are with the American people,” Paul said. “With gas at three dollars a gallon and a slowing economy, the last thing we need is a tax increase to be paid by Americans who can least afford it.”
Paul called on the other presidential candidates to join him in opposing this and any other tax increase proposals that come down in the future.
