1. Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin* endorses Barack Obama.
"Barack Obama is a dynamic, smart, and experienced leader who has demonstrated the capacity to bring people together across party, race and gender lines. He inspires me and has inspired so many others. As a leader I believe he can build consensus to bring Americans together over the issues we care most about like health care, the economy and foreign policy."
* Some latent prejudice revealed itself: I initially wrote Shirley Chisolm. Yikes.
2. Jesse Jackson, Jr., Sen. Barack Obama's campaign co-chair, questions HRC's tears. Hum.
3. Security sweep / unusual events delay Giuliani event in Melbourne; TSA personnel wanded press; campaign refuses to comment.
4. Sen. Hillary Clinton regains her lead in the Intrade markets.
5. Here's a fantastic map of the New Hampshire primary results created by Nicholas Beaudrot.

Memo to Obama campaign: Stop discussing this subject. It doesn't matter that we're right about this way that Hillary emotionally manipulated herself to victory. It does not matter. We are not dealing in the realm of rationality. We need to stop talking about this NOW!
The talking points for all supporters and surrogates on this issue needs to be 2 words: No comment.
