Kennedy Plans to Back Obama Over Clinton — BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Senator Edward M. Kennedy intends to endorse the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama during a rally on Monday in Washington, associates to both men confirmed, a decision that squarely pits one American political dynasty against another.

Caroline Kennedy's Political Romanticism — She says that Obama could be a president like her father. I assume that means that he'll be overrated, not that he'll bring us to the brink of nuclear war.
Grand Old Partisan:
A racist Republican rag wrote Barack Obama “rejiggers” the race — No, wait. It's Time magazine. As explained in the Urban Dictionary, “jig” is a derogatory word used to insult African-Americans. — The headline has since been changed, but Grand Old Partisan saved the original version …
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.

OFF THE BUS....I haven't been impressed with very much of the chatter about Barack Obama's primary victory last night. Hillary didn't give a concession speech? Give me a break. Who cares? Turnout was up? Yes, but it's been an exciting and money-filled campaign and turnout has been up everywhere.

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:
