- Chris Dodd endorses Obama and reinforces the idea that the primary will be over after March 4th.
- Noam Scheiber has a good piece on Obama's policy shop, though I think it overstates the extent to which you can say there's a real ideological difference. Still, it does get at a difference in emphasis and tone that I think is important.
- Marc Ambinder reports that if Clinton decides to continue campaigning after March 4th with a win in only one state she'll face massive staff defections.
- Obama apparently has a sophisticated grassroots operation in Ohio.
- In the cats-and-dogs-living-together department, Obama gives a speech on Israel that pleases both Marty Peretz and Matt Yglesias. I feel a disturbance in the force...

- Josh Romney suggests that his father might get back into the presidential race. In other news, the corpse of Richard Nixon is considering throwing his hat into the ring.
- Chris Cillizza interviews some governors mentioned as potential VPs.
- Via Slate, Oprah handles Omentum and it's way grosser than you'd expect.
