The New Republic

Minority Report: [Adam
Nagourney and Jennifer Steinhauer, The
New York Times]: “Mr. Obama confronts a history of often uneasy and
competitive relations between blacks and Hispanics, particularly as they have
jockeyed for influence in cities like Chicago, Los Angeles and New
York.”

Different Parties,
Different Strategies: [Dan Balz, The
Washington Post]: “Clinton and her two main Democratic competitors -- Sen.
Barack Obama (Ill.)
and former senator John Edwards (N.C.) -- are approaching Feb. 5 in strikingly
different ways than the Republicans are.”

Down to the Wire: [Andrew
Stern, AP]:
“Polls show Romney, a former Massachusetts
governor who was raised in Michigan,
running neck-and-neck with Arizona Sen.
John McCain in a state where the ailing economy has moved to the
top of the agenda.”

Race Debate: [Molly Ball, Las Vegas Review-Journal]:
“[I]t happens that the theme of tonight's [Democratic] debate, in the works for
more than a year, is minority issues -- just as one of the most emotional
issues in politics has been raised in recent days: race.”
