The McCain endorsing Union Leader (h/t The Page) picks up on the Sanctuary Mansion story : “Here is what is wrong with Mitt Romney’s ‘sanctuary mansion” problem: For someone touting himself as a brilliant manager, he has fumbled badly an issue that should have been easily resolved long before now. Romney can’t plead ignorance or blame his aides for this one. He was told last year about the illegal aliens doing lawn work at his Massachusetts mansion. Having taken a hard campaign line on illegals, one would think he would have been smart enough to end that lawn service immediately.” It would seem this is the shield for Huckabee in Iowa(who before we went down The Speech and the Dumond trail was being attacked for college scholarships for illegal aliens) and the sword elsewhere for McCain and Rudy who were already on the credibility/authenticity/hypocrite theme.
