The New Republic

Illegal Advantage: [Michael
Luo, The
New York Times]: “Mr. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts,
has in particular sought to wield the issue [of illegal immigration] against
his Republican rivals, focusing on Mr. Giuliani, the former mayor of New York City, and Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas.”

Rock the Vote: [Seema
Mehta, Los
Angeles Times]: “Of the Democratic candidates, the Illinois senator has the greatest support
among young people and the least among senior citizens. So if Obama student
supporters caucus in their hometowns, where the average caucus-goer is in his
early 60s, they could help the senator pick up delegates in areas where his
support might otherwise be lukewarm, Bystrom said.”

Knight in Shining
Armor: [Michael D. Shear and Juliet Eilperin, The
Washington Post]: “Sen. John McCain said his rivals for the White House
are unprepared to serve as president during a period of enormous challenge for America,
casting himself as the only candidate from either party capable of confronting
both national security crises abroad and political stalemates at home.”

Boy
Genius: [Mike Glover, AP]: “Hillary
Rodham Clinton ridiculed Democratic rival Barack Obama on
Tuesday for his contention that living abroad as a child helped give him a
better understanding of the foreign policy challenges facing the U.S.”
