Here are a few quick updates on the Presidential candidates and their movements:

* Former NYC Mayor Rudy Guiliani made two big hires: Former New Hampshire GOP chair Wayne Semprini will run Rudy's operation in the state and Rick Wiley, the executive director of the Wisconsin Republican Party is leaving his post to become the national deputy political director for Giuliani's exploratory committee.

* In his latest Roll Coll column, political handicapper Stuart Rothenberg says that the hype about of significant shift towards Democratic political dominance in the Mountain West "has overwhelmed the reality."

* After officially filing papers to form an exploratory committee today, former AR Gov. Mike Huckabee will head to Iowa for a two day swing through the state.

* Red Sox ace Curt Schilling will not run for John Kerry's Senate seat in 2008, but he will endorse John McCain's Presidential bid.

* Former MA Gov. Mitt Romney is in South Carolina today campaigning with Sen. Jim DeMint. In SC, Romney will attend an event hosted by former Gov. Jim Edwards and former Congressman Tommy Hartnett, who have endorsed him.

* On the heels of her heavily covered weekend trip to Iowa, Sen. Hillary Clinton met privately today with the board of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union, a group with 1.3 million-members.

* Sen. Barack Obama smacked the Bush administration for its sluggish pace in rebuilding New Orleans while speaking at a Senate committee hearing in the embattled city. Addressing the committee, Obama remarked that "there is not a sense of urgency in this administration to get this done. You get a sense that will has been lacking in the last several months."

* And speaking of Obama, with more than 159,000 members, Obama's facebook group has more than 100 times more members than any other Democratic candidate.

* Documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald, the director of Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War On Journalism, is now setting his sights on Sen. John McCain's Presidential ambitions by assembling clips of McCain for a series of two-minute Web videos that can be found here.

* Former NM Gov. Bill Richardson campaigned in Nevada over the weekend, while former Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson campaigned in Iowa.

* Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius, the Chair of the Democratic Governor's Association, announced the group's executive board today.

* Ex-GOP Rep. Jim Ryun announced over the weekend that he plans to run again in 2008 against Dem Nancy Boyda, who narrowly defeated him last year in an upset.
