![]() Making news today:The gloves are (still) off WASHINGTON (CNN) - Just how brutal has the presidential campaign gotten? Here's one sign: John Edwards - who has been on the receiving end of a week's worth of verbal blows from rival Barack Obama - is now suggesting the Illinois senator of being too "nice" to be president. Here's another: Mike Huckabee is demanding an apology from rival Mitt Romney after weeks of being on the receiving end of negative attacks. Huckabee is also insisting that the former Massachusetts governor admit he lied about his own record, too. And John McCain may have said publicly he's "moving on" from his weekend of dueling attack ads with Romney – but his new Granite State spot, which calls his fellow New Hampshire rival out by name, seems to say something else entirely. Even Rudy Giuliani, who has called for an end to the worst of the back-and-forth from his perch above the fray (and out of the running in Iowa) is signaling his willingness to wade into the mud if necessary. On Sunday, he invoked the now universally-observed amendment to Ronald Reagan's eleventh commandment: "Don't criticize other Republicans, comma, unless they criticize me." The former New York City mayor is spending Monday in the safety of his hometown, and McCain is off riding his new surge back east in New Hampshire, but the rest of the presidential field is spending the day on the main battlefield here in the Hawkeye State. – - CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand Filed under: Ticker Morning Edition
