Tusks and Tails: Assorted Links, Tuesday morning

Just a few interesting links today:

1. The inside dirt on how NYPD fills its lineups - they got a guy, ya know! (NYT)

2. The first corporate 'super-PAC' comes from an unlikely source: a burial-at-sea entrepreneur.  I would have expected it to be FedEx, UPS, or other companies at the top of the PAC giving lists.  (WaPo)

3. New Hampshire paper delivers Romney a veiled threat regarding his influence in Nevada (Union Leader, h/t RCP).  Its worth mentioning, however, that if NH puts its primary a few days before Nevada (the Iowa Caucuses are now Jan 3 and Nevada is Jan 14), I really don't think its going to affect much of NH's influence: (counter to the paper's doom and gloom prediction).  NH's influence and importance come not from a date on a calendar but rather from the retail politicking required and the gravity with which NH natives take their primaries.
