David Brooks / New York Times:
The Identity Trap  —  When Hillary Clinton is good on the Sunday talk shows, she is really, really good.  But when she is bad, she's atrocious.  When she talks about policy, she will dazzle you.  When her own ambitions are on the line, it's time to reach for the sick bag.

Matthew Yglesias:
A Very Serious Blog Post  —  It seems that nothing gets conservatives off nearly so much as writing obviously unserious books with patently offensive titles, designed in every way to not be taken seriously, and then get huffy when people make fun of them without having given their precious works the deep consideration they deserve.
Detroit Free Press:
Little to no waiting at polls across metro Detroit  —  FREE PRESS STAFF REPORTS  —  It's Michigan's turn today to choose the presidential candidates.  Here's a sampling of scenes at polling places, as voters pick their favorites.  —  Birmingham resident breaks away from the family

Finally: Fred hits McCain; Update: Fred hits McCain again  —  Not with an uppercut but a good straight jab.  It would have been more effective if he'd gone after him individually instead of lumping him in with Huck but the race being what it is in South Carolina, he doesn't have much choice.

Kathryn Jean Lopez / The Corner:
Mike Huckabee Really Is a Piece of Work  —  From Michigan: … Governor, I didn't have silver spoons or boarding schools or a verb summer, but I know enough to thank God for the job creators, the natural economic stimulators, capitalism.  Is this the Republican primary of a John Edwards rally?
Jon Ralston / Las vegas sun Blogs:
The Culinary takes on Hillary Clinton with fliers  —  No more dot-connecting: Just straight out accusations that her campaign filed the lawsuit.  —  See the fliers here.  —  17 comments so far...  By CHernan … Jon, I understood you to say that some of the plaintiffs in the law suit are Edwards supporters.
