The New Republic

Comeback Kid: [Robin
Toner and Marjorie Connelly, The New York
Times]: “Republican voters have sharply altered their views of the
party’s presidential candidates following the early contests in Iowa and New
Hampshire, with Senator John McCain, once widely
written off, now viewed more favorably than any of his major competitors...”

History Lessons: [Anne
E. Kornblut and Perry Bacon Jr., The
Washington Post]: “Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton defended her recent
remarks on civil rights Sunday, as Sen. Barack Obama weighed in on the
controversy for the first time, describing Clinton's earlier comments about the legacy
of Martin Luther King Jr. as "unfortunate’ and ‘ill-advised.’”

First Aid: [Adam
Tanner, Reuters]:
“Amid growing worries about a worsening of the U.S. economy, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama
proposed a $75 billion economic stimulus plan on Sunday…”

Cornered Animal: [Klaus
Marre, The
Hill]: “Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, hoping to score a
much-needed win in the Michigan GOP primary Tuesday, is attacking Sen. John
McCain (Ariz.),
his main competitor in the state, on the economy.”
