Fast News Cycle

Wow, the election coverage sure is reaching a frantic pace. Mike Huckabee is now apologizing to Mitt Romney for something he hasn't even said yet. His comments on Mormonism in a New York Times Magazine interview won't actually appear until this Sunday, but why wait? So the Huck started backpedaling on Wednesday, which is a brilliant technique for staying ahead of the curve when you think about it: just start apologizing today for anything stupid you or may not say next week.

I also like how FoxNews.com asked Romney if "if he believed Huckabee was speaking in a coded language to evangelicals." "Coded language?" Look closely at what Huckabee said and see if you can spot the code:

"Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

I had to squint, but eventually I saw it.

Not one of the more subtle gestures I've seen in politics.
