"The Note" NEWS SUMMARY Five most important dynamics to watch: 1. Per the New York Times (and our reporting matches this): " … .party leaders and campaign officials say they have seen growing numbers of undecided voters turning up at campaign events of almost all the leading candidates, an indication that these voters are not alienated but instead are still shopping." 2. Where is the bar being set for the six leading candidates by the 19 reporters who dominate the (insane) expectations setting process for Iowa, New Hampshire, and Feb. 3rd? 3. Is Iowa still a must-win for Dick Gephardt? Is New Hampshire still a must-win for John Kerry? (See (2) above.) 4. How wide-open this nomination contest will be if Howard Dean doesn't come out of New Hampshire strong — with a multi-candidate battle among (mostly) broke campaigns. 5. What remains in the pre-State of the Union bag of tricks of the White House. (AP's Scott Lindlaw has a preview, reporting that President Bush will highlight economic growth and successes in the fight on terrorism. The president will call on Congress to make his already-enacted tax cuts permanent, bring back a proposal to let younger workers to invest a portion of their Social Security taxes in the stock market, and "forcefully defend" his recent immigration initiative.)
