Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
My Vote — Over a year ago and many times since, I wrote that I could give no endorsement, because I had honestly not made up my mind about which candidate to support. I also told the CapQ community that if I did make a decision, I would announce it as soon as I made it so that they knew where I stood.

Obama for the Democrats — After seven years of George Bush's failed presidency, after five years of unnecessary war in Iraq, America is ready to write a new narrative. All candidates favor the now-bromidic slogan: change. Only one candidate truly embraces the yearnings this word represents.
Chris Bowers / Open Left:
Romney Gains In Florida — Now that Obama seems to have made February 5th very, very interesting for Democrats, it would be only fair for Romney to do the same for Republicans. Fortunately, he seems to be obliging, as three Florida polls released today all show Romney gaining.
Parag Khanna / New York Times:
Waving Goodbye to Hegemony — Turn on the TV today, and you could be forgiven for thinking it's 1999. Democrats and Republicans are bickering about where and how to intervene, whether to do it alone or with allies and what kind of world America should lead.
