The Big Story, By Carl Hiaasen
If you're a Democrat, here's what you're thinking as voters go to the polls in Florida's Republican primary: Pinch me. Because Newt Gingrich -- defrocked speaker of the House, original godfather of government gridlock, two-faced philandering impeacher of Bill Clinton, fondler of six-figure Tiffany jewels -- has a chance against Mitt Romney.

The factory jobs that boosted high school graduates (or even drop-outs) into middle-class lifestyles -- complete with health insurance and comfortable pensions -- are now on the endangered species list. It's no wonder, then, that the trite old phrase "class warfare," which Republicans still wield, sounds so stale and outdated. READ MORE

Election 2012
The Obama campaign released a memo Monday, one day before the Florida primary, entitled "Republicans Seal Their Fate With Hispanic Voters In 2012," co-authored by Sergio Bendixen, a pollster who worked for Hillary Clinton's 2008 bid. He argues the president could receive a greater percentage of Hispanic support than any candidate in modern history, thanks to all the harsh Republican anti-immigrant rhetoric (and policies). Bendixen's memo echoes a message from Obama's Super PAC, also staffed by a Hillary 2008 pollster, released less than a month ago. READ MORE

The World Economic Forum opened in Davos amid choruses of central bankers and economists calling for governments to cut spending. This message of austerity is like the call of the ancient Sirens, whose music lured sailors to shipwreck.

We should take a lesson from Odysseus, who poured wax into the ears of his crew and had himself lashed to the mast of his ship to resist the Siren call. Austerity supporters are selling the idea that governments, like families, must cut back when income shrinks. But economically, governments are not like families. READ MORE

Videos Of The Day
With the Florida primary right around the corner, Sarah Palin, who already basically endorsed Newt Gingrich a few weeks ago, made an explicit plea for conservatives to stick it to the establishment by casting a ballot for the Georgian. Then on Monday morning, Mitt Romney retorted by bragging that a change of "tactics" is boosting him in the polls. READ MORE

Money
A year after Republicans swept into office across the country, many have trained their sights on what has long been a right-wing dream: the steep reduction or even outright elimination of state income taxes. They've launched efforts in Idaho, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and South Carolina, even though nobody has plausibly explained how any of those states will recoup the lost revenue.

Robert Creamer: Why Character and Core Values Could Prove Decisive in Battle for Presidency
Obama intends to make this campaign a battle over core values -- a choice between a society where we are all responsible for our future, and for each other -- or a society where selfishness is our highest value -- where "greed is good."

The Big Story
Newt Gingrich slammed GOP rival Mitt Romney on Sunday for the steady stream of attacks he likened to "carpet-bombing," trying to cut into the resurgent front-runner's Florida polling lead in the dwindling hours before Tuesday's pivotal presidential primary. Romney has begun advertising in Nevada ahead of that state's caucuses next Saturday, illustrating the challenges ahead for Gingrich, who has pledged to push on no matter what happens in the Sunshine State. (How could he give up after winning the endorsement of Herman Cain?) READ MORE

Politics
Determined not to lose another friendly district because of a sex scandal, Democrats and their allies have pumped more than $1 million into an Oregon special election that has turned into a vicious exchange of air attacks. Voters are choosing a replacement for former Rep. David Wu, a seven-term Democrat who resigned last year following a string of bizarre news stories that began with photos of the congressman wearing a tiger costume and ended with a young woman's accusation that he made an unwanted sexual advance.

Featured Column: LEONARD PITTS JR.
After a year of upbeat bulletins and proclamations of her miracle recovery, the decision by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to leave Congress comes as a bit of a blow. This episode joins a long list of elections overturned and social movements derailed by men with guns, as in the shootings of Abraham Lincoln, James Garfield, William McKinley, Huey Long, Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, the Kennedy brothers, George Wallace, George Moscone, Harvey Milk and Martin Luther King Jr. Somehow, people who should never have guns never have trouble getting them.

One of Barack Obama's great attractions as a presidential candidate was his sensitivity to the feelings and intellectual concerns of religious believers. That is why it is so remarkable that he utterly botched the admittedly difficult question of how contraceptive services should be treated under the new health care law. READ MORE

Novak Djokovic ripped off his shirt and let out a primal scream, flexing his torso the way a prize fighter would after a desperate, last-round knockout. It was the final act in his grueling five-set victory over Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open final -- a sweat-drenched, sneaker-squeaking 5 hour, 53-minute endurance contest that ended at 1:37 a.m. Monday morning in Melbourne.
