Here's some of stories out today:

Romney claws back to lead in Iowa polls (Wall Street Journal): "Mike Huckabee's surge in Iowa showed signs of retreat as three new polls found rival Mitt Romney, who has attacked Mr. Huckabee by land and by air, climbing back. In response, the former Arkansas governor called Mr. Romney dishonest and prepared to begin airing his first TV ad directly attacking him starting today."

McCain's Unlikely ties to K Street (Washington Post): "But private schmooze sessions such as the gathering in Utah pose a particular dilemma for McCain, who has spent a long career decrying "special interests" and politicians who offer special access to them in order to raise money. As a presidential candidate this year, McCain has found himself assiduously courting both lobbyists and their wealthy clients, offering them private audiences as part of his fundraising. He also counts more than 30 lobbyists among his chief fundraisers, more than any other presidential contender."

Republican Worst Case Scenario (National Review): "A Huck-Rudy showdown would be a primary fight between two candidates with almost nothing in common. It would polarize and tear apart the Republican party just as the national electorate is currently polarized."
