The big news about the MTP roundtable is that Bob Shrum has yet to move to a small, South American city where he can live anonymously, just so as not to be recognized as “that guy who…” And has Mike Murphy declared himself a Rombot or a McCainiac?

What does Fred Thompson want? It was far too much to expect the mortal man to walk onto the national political stage and become Ronald Reagan over night, of course, but I would like him to be Fred Thompson and I’d like to know what to expect from Fred Thompson.

Zinni’s a surprise on FTN. I mean, he’s not on a book tour and there is really nothing left for the man to say.

Huckabee. I see him serving only one purpose, albeit a very important one, this primary season, and that should be done after Iowa, but I suppose one couldn’t convince him to quit if he wins those non-binding caucuses. Heck, maybe it’s what Blitzer will tell him to do. Don’t know what he can ask of Allawi, except to go away.
