Huckabee gains more than just a few supporters
SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee has gained more than just new supporters on the campaign trail — he has gained back about 10 percent of the weight he previously lost.

The former Arkansas governor lost a little more than 100 pounds after he was diagnosed with diabetes. He has been running marathons and hopes to run in the Boston Marathon later this year.

“Probably about 10 or 12 pounds,” he told reporters aboard his plane to South Carolina from New Hampshire. “I ran yesterday and I’m trying to just scream at the staff and say “this is important, I’ve got to stay in training.’”

He acknowledged that if he can’t get the training in, he will drop his marathon bid. “If I get to where I can’t keep up the training and i’m not ready for it, I’m not going to do it.”

Alaska’s getting more attention from the Presidential candidates. Democrat Hillary Clinton has plans to open a campaign office in Anchorage. And the campaign for fellow Democrat Barack Obama is sending two more staffers to the state. With tight races for the nomination in both parties, and Alaska’s caucuses happening on Super Tuesday- voters in the state could be more important in the selection than ever before.

Hillary Clinton wins Democratic primary

Hillary Clinton wins Democratic primary



Clinton's victory caps a comeback from last week's third-place finish in the Iowa caucuses. It raises the possibility of a long battle for the party nomination between the most viable black candidate in history and the former first lady, who's seeking to become the first woman to occupy the Oval Office.
After Iowa, Clinton and her aides seemed resigned to a second straight setback. But polling place interviews showed that female voters, who deserted her last week, were solidly in her New Hampshire column.
Clinton also is winning handily among registered Democrats. Obama led her by an even larger margin among independents, but he suffered from a falloff in turnout among young voters compared with Iowa.

Woman who made Hillary Clinton tearful ended up voting for Obama

The freelance photographer whose 'girlie question' helped Hillary Clinton win the New Hampshire presidential primary has admitted that she ended up voting for Barack Obama.

Marianne Pernold Young, 64, was one of a group of 15 undecided female voters invited to a Portsmouth coffee shop on Monday for an 'intimate' chat with Hillary Clinton - with a posse of reporters and television crews in attendance.

Ms Pernold Young said that she arrived at the Cafe Espresso at 9am and sat through a dense question and answer session that was making the Washington press pack. Then she took the microphone.

2004 Dem nominee Kerry endorsing Obama

Kerry planned to announce his endorsement at a rally with Obama at the College of Charleston.

The Massachusetts senator lost the South Carolina Democratic primary in 2004 to Edwards.

Kerry and Edwards had their differences during the 2004 campaign over strategy and spending, and Edwards has said he would have been more aggressive in challenging the unsubstantiated allegations of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth questioning Kerry's military record.

Kerry's endorsement also was a jab at Clinton, the New York Democrat who won the New Hampshire primary after a loss to Obama in the Iowa caucuses
