Romney continues to ride high this week on his high poll numbers in Iowa, hovering around 30%. Until recently, Guiliani had seemed like his toughest competition in Iowa, but the former mayor has now dropped to third. The two traded barbs earlier in the week, Romney criticizing Guiliani’s support for drivers licenses for illegal immigrants and spending practices. But Romney did reserve his punches for the Republican’s last week, he also attacked Obama and Edwards for their positions on Iraq and healthcare, respectively. For his part, on Tuesday Romney called for placing a cap on medical malpractice suits to a receptive audience at an Iowa medial school. That same day he picked up an important endorsement from volatile New Hampshire’s Senator Judd Gregg.
On Thanksgiving, Romney celebrated not only the Pilgrims' befriending of the Indians but also the birth of his 11th grandchild, Nathan. He jumped right back into the political fray, however, trying to ward off a surging Huckabee in the Iowa polls. On Saturday, he called for a judge he appointed as Governor of Massachusetts to resign after she released a convicted murderer without bail, who then fled to Washington and allegedly killed a young couple.

Romney's loud and clear call for the judge's resignation demonstrates that his political organization is on top of things. A similar situation occurred in 1988 when MA Gov. Mike Dukakis was running for president, and he got skewered for it.
