• I'd intended to give this a bit more attention, but it's too late at night and the news goes stale tomorrow. This may just be lowering expectations for Super Tuesday, but Clinton advisors Howard Wolfson and Mark Penn suggested in a conference call that Super Tuesday isn't going to settle anything and, in fact, the race for a candidate might go all the way to the convention. Part of me wonders how we won't all be sick of it by that time, but another part thinks the longer we can keep a buzz and excitement to this contest the better. Once people actual count the votes from tomorrow, the race will likely get much clearer, even if that clarity just shows us we won't have a winner any time soon.

• When we were talking about a climax last night, I hope you didn't think that I meant the climax was coming quickly. That's simply not how it's done in the Senate these days. The FISA bill was raised today, but it's going to be debated in more detail tomorrow. If there's time, they may vote on the various amendments, but the whole thing won't likely reach final disposition until Wednesday. Harry Reid is hiding behind Super Tuesday to pass telecom immunity. It's no fun spying on people if everybody knows you're doing it.

• Am I the last blogger to link to the new Barack Obama video? On the Obama campaign page, they just refer to it as a "supporter-created video," but when that supporter is multi-platinum recording artist will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas it carries a bit more weight. Sorry, there's no word I could find about which candidate Fergie's supporting.
