Erick’s got the scoop. And a nifty YouTube video to boot.

The race for the GOP nod continues to get more and more interesting. McCain’s got the establishment and does well in the polls, but the senator has nearly no energy among grassroots conservatives. Meanwhile, the conservative blogosphere and the right-of-center intelligentsia continues to engage in a shouting match of sorts over who our candidate should be, with the Rudy and Romney camps dominating the debate. The question of whether McCain’s establishment support can be translated into actual votes remains unanswered, though with the senator’s prominence in South Carolina, and with Rudy now leading in the Granite State, Gov. Romney now more than ever needs to start making waves in Iowa. It’s hard to see how Romney or any of the other candidates will survive until Super Tuesday if Rudy and McCain split the first three contests between them.
