Some updates on the candidates and their movements:

* John Edwards held a town meeting today in New Hampshire at a Porsmouth elementary school — and with more than 800 people showing up, about a quarter of them had to stand outside.

* Tom Vilsack's campaign has scheduled campaign appearances next week — but they're in his home state of Iowa. He'll be working hard to nail down his home state, as current polling shows him trailing.

* Hillary Clinton is on vacation with her husband in the small Caribbean country of Anguilla. She has said she'll make a decision on whether to run after New Year's Day.

* Mike Huckabee, commenting on when he might enter the race, said, "I'm not on anybody else's clock when it comes to making an announcement."

* Barack Obama is on vacation in Hawaii with his family, staying away from the press while he contemplates a final decision about his potential candidacy.

* Mitt Romney is also on vacation with his family, at a Utah ski retreat, making a final decision with his family.

* Newt Gingrich will go to Florida in February to be the keynote speaker for the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner for the Republican Party of Lee County (Fort Myers).
