On the heels of his Florida win, John McCain smirked and chuckled his way, rather un-presidentially, through the GOP debate tonight, and reports have him picking up Arnold Schwarzenegger's endorsement tomorrow which, in contrast to Rudy's nod, actually means something. On the other hand, the Democratic contest is about to go to Code Red, with Clinton aides livid over a hard-hitting Obama speech in Denver today.
Obama argued that the Democratic race is a contest of "the past versus the future," and warned against "nominating a candidate who will unite the other party against us," rather than "choosing one who can unite this country around a movement for change." But maybe the blast that set off the alarms is that he mocked the Big Dog himself: "I know it is tempting, after another presidency by a man named George Bush, to simply turn back the clock, and to build a bridge back to the 20th century," Obama said, paraphrasing an old slogan of Bill Clinton. Let's see if his wife can keep off the campaign trail after that.
On The Daily Show tonight, Peggy Noonan really acted stumped by Rudy's fall -- she can find "no discernible" reason for it and she hopes "books will be written about it" so we can all figure it out. Jon Stewart, like nearly everyone else in the country, doesn't need to wait for that. Voters, he said, simply decided: "That guy -- I don't like him."
