- Hey man, wanna endorse Obama? All the cool kids are doing it. You want to be cool, don't you? Today we have MoveOn.org and the CA SEIU joining the Obama bandwagon. Josh Patashnik has more thoughts on the meaning of endorsements, especially from conservatives.
- Meanwhile Ann Coulter displays her genius for mendacity by undermining both the Clinton and McCain campaigns at the same time.
- In more money news, Romney gives his campaign $18 million, Obama doubles Clinton's pre-Feb-5 ad buy, and Clinton schedules an hour-long live town hall meeting on the Hallmark channel for Feb 4. The fundraising reports from the fourth quarter of 2007 are also now available.
- Obama also becomes the first mainstream presidential candidate to advocate the decriminalization (but not legalization) of marijuana (well, advocate may be too strong a word, but he's still on the right side of the issue).
- Not so cool: Obama evoking the Harry and Louise ads in a mailer on health care.
- Another look at delegates in a major newspaper. It's mostly stuff we've heard before, but at the end it offers more details on the congressional-district-level allocation of delegates.
- Ted Kennedy calls in to the most prominent Spanish-language (or any language) radio show in Los Angeles.
