Three caucuses occurred this week–each was won by Rick Santorum. In the wake of that hat trick, here’s what I think I know. National polls are worthless.

Last month, I appeared on WNYC’s “The Takeaway” as part of a round table on voting in the New Hampshire Primary. Tomorrow morning (Thursday) at 7:45am EST, I’ll be part of a second round table discussion on the GOP Primaries.

Random, bullet thoughts on today’s super-sized Meet the Press which doubled as a Republican Presidential Debate… For a debate that involved Facebook, I sort of expected more integration. It’s only the largest social network in the history of civilization. Logistically, NBC gets a D for planning an event like this in a city like Concord …
