Kerry endorses Obama. Note to Obama: don't take campaign advice.




Everyone's favorite windsurfer endorsed Obama. It's a diss to Edwards, but they never really got along that well anyway. 2004 was a clam chowder and barbecue ribs package that couldn't even beat GW Bush.

Kerry stated his case on This Week this morning.

Jack Kelly illustrates why Kerry is still late to the party.

Mitt's message resonates in his home state. On the other hand, he hasn't spent much time on a private beach in Michigan. Here's a fact from the article:

"But for all his homestate pride, Romney has not lived in the state as a full-time resident since departing for college in 1965. He resides in a wealthy suburb of Boston and has vacation homes in Utah and New Hampshire."

What's the cure for Michigan's economic woes? Pizza. Mitt stated, "We bought Domino's Pizza, which is headquartered in Ann Arbor.”

We've heard about the two Americas. The Red versus Blue echoes the North versus South of the 1860s. We know about the divisions along party lines: fiscal conservatives versus religious-social conservatives. With the New Hampshire results, the commentators have a new label to illustrate the demographics of the Dems: Wal-Mart or lunch bucket Democrats versus Starbucks or white wine Democrats. I propose an additional disjuncture: cat lovers versus non-cat lovers. It's a bisection that will divide both parties. Stay tuned to Wevoteprocat for further info on this developing story.

George Will discusses the bleak landscape of the GOP party.

That bleak landscape includes a former mayor fighting for his political life. What happened? That jewel of journalism, The Weekly Standard, addresses Rudy's pitfalls. Just read the last two paragraphs.

Rudy addressed some of these concerns on Fox News Sunday. You may have a bit of difficulty locating that video. Let's just say that they're not that tech savvy over at Murdoch, O'Reilly and Hannity. They're also about four months late on that Soujah Boy Internet dance craze.

The good news: The Wall Street Journal's online edition is free (hey, Angus has stocks.). The bad news: Karl Rove contributes to their editorial page. And he's dropping references to The Bard.

Ryan Lizza dissects race and the Obama v. Hillary matchup. Hispanics hold the key to each candidate's fate in the upcoming primaries (Nevada and South Carolina).

And finally, the L.A. Times examines the buzz word of the 2008 campaign.

We'll have reports from Michigan this week. Okay, reports from my living room. We'll pretend we're in Michigan.
