Waiting for Gore — It feels official: Barack Obama has momentum. He won a resounding victory in South Carolina. He just posted another astonishing fundraising total.

Has Ann Coulter Finally Jumped The Shark? — She did for me last year at CPAC, of course, when she derided John Edwards as a “faggot”. At the time, a number of conservative bloggers wrote that she had embarrassed the movement and owed Edwards an apology, which she refused to offer.
Hugh Hewitt / Townhall.com:
Romney v. McCain v. Coulter v. Obama — If Ann Coulter's declares again that she'd campaign for Hillary at CPAC, she will be booed and rightly so. Not only did her grandstanding on Hannity & Colmes divert attention from the real issue before conservatives —the need to abandon the idea …

OBAMA'S “HARRY AND LOUISE” AD. — I was going to write a post about the health care exchange in last night's debate, noting that Hillary Clinton is basically arguing against Barack Obama's mandate from the wrong direction.

Sorry, but this is just destructive — like the Obama plan, the Clinton plan offers subsidies to lower-income families. And BO himself has conceded that he might have to penalize people who don't buy insurance until they need care.
Paul Krugman / New York Times:
The Edwards Effect — So John Edwards has dropped out of the race for the presidency. By normal political standards, his campaign fell short. — But Mr. Edwards, far more than is usual in modern politics, ran a campaign based on ideas. And even as his personal quest for the White House faltered …
