Well, Friends, I'm traveling back to the East Coast today, so I'll take a one day blogging break before Tuesday's wild ride through the Florida primary.
In addition to setting the stage for the election festivities, I'll be commenting on the President's State of the Union Address. I'll also look into the Mitt/McCain spat on the Iraq War, as well as the Clinton camp's intention to treat the Democratic non-primary in Florida as...yeah, you guessed it-- a real primary. Can't wait for Hill's victory speech to see if she acknowledges that no one actually campaigned in Florida.
Yes, I know, Obama ran some ads, which made it look as if he'd stop at nothing for the nomination. Which clearly disturbed the Clintons because they're used to claiming that turf as their own.
And I'll comment on Howard Fineman's semi scoop that the Obama camp may have been approached by the Edwards camp about striking a delegate deal. (Fineman says he was told the Obama people rejected any deal.) So stay tuned and please, comment on any and all things political during my one day hiatus. Just hit "comments" below.

I'll be looking forward to Bush's speech to help the Democratic cause.
On we go to Super Tuesday! In my opinion, Mr. Obama was the clear winner last week in the democratic field and has the clear momentum going into Super Tuesday. I do believe that voters will flock to Mr. Obama's camp since I believe he has the 'best' message and vision to move this country forward. This morning I read that both Caroline and Ted Kennedy were the latest 'high profile' people to lend their endorsements to Mr. Obama. Even though many out there do not agree with or care for Ted Kennedy's choice for President, this endorsment shows that Mr. Obama can win support from some of Mrs. Clinton's past staunch supporters. This was definitely a blow to the Clinton campaign.
At this point, Mrs. Clinton needs to reign in her husband to have any chance of defeating Mr. Obama for the nomination. Don't get me wrong, I supported Bill Clinton and still do, however, his tone of late has done nothing short of dismantling Mrs. Clinton's stronghold on the nomination.
Having said all of this, I believe we will all see a re-charged Obama this week that will only bring more excitement to his campaign and that will significantly increase his support base. Once people can get past gender, race and 'tit for tat' exchanges between the candidates, I believe you'll see a victorious Mr. Obama. Go team Go!
