The blogosphere often gets into the nitty-gritty of a story before the mainstream media does. A couple of example from today's posts includes Mitt Romney's claim he "saw" his father march with MLK Jr., or Ron Paul's support from white supremacists.
Republicans
Dana Goldstein defends her attacks on pundits Andrew Sullivan and Glenn Greenwald for supporting Rep. Ron Paul (R, Tex.). Goldstein points to Paul's stance on abortion and the support he refuses to repudiate from white supremacists.
Steve Benen continues his analysis of Mitt Romney's statement: "I saw my father march with Martin Luther King." Actually, he never saw it because it never actually happened. The mainstream press has yet to pick up this little plum from Romney's religion speech.
Captain Ed covers the rumors surrounding Sen. John McCain and lobbyists. Shockingly, the rumors were found on the Drudge Report. McCain has aggressively attacked the rumors, unlike in 2000 when the Bush campaign spread nasty rumors about his adopted daughter.
Patrick Ruffini tried to figure out what went wrong with Rudy Giuliani's campaign. Ruffini argues Giuliani didn't finish McCain off after McCain stumbled in July. Does Giuliani really want it?
Paul Mirengoff blogs on the "phony" victimization of Mike Huckabee. He thinks the criticisms of both Giuliani and Huckabee remain valid because both would pull apart the Republican base.
