• The L.A. Times makes it’s first presidential endorsement since ‘72 — it’s Obama.

• Oprah is goin’ back to Cali. You’re the shit, Oprah.

• The post-Edwards race is a tie, according to Rasmussen.

• MoveOn.org — which I’m proudly a member of — endrosed its first ever presidential candidate today. Yep, Obama.

• Bill Richardson didn’t endorse Obama before Super Tuesday, but at least he didn’t endorse Clinton.

• But could a possible Gore endorsement be on the way?

The Chuck Norris and Sly Stallone endorsements look kind of silly now. Why? Because Obamamania now has the power of Hulkamania behind eat. You better say your prayers and eat your vitamins, Hillary and the GOP. Obamamania is about to run wild ON YOU!

Seriously, what the fuck is Hillary Clinton doing? She made a pledge to the Democratic National Convention not to appear in Florida, a state that was stripped of all of its delegates for illegally moving up its primary. She did this so she could run in Iowa and New Hampshire. But now she is campaigning in Florida. Rules, scmooles. A little more, from Yahoo! News:

But Iowa and New Hampshire are history and, after a landslide loss in South Carolina on Saturday, Clinton needs a win.

So she has begun appearing in Florida in anticipation of Tuesday’s Democratic primary there.

Clinton’s move insults not just the voters in Iowa and New Hampshire who trusted her pledge but also the voters of all the states that respected the DNC’s outline for the nominating process. Effectively, she is saying to Democrats in states that will participate in February 5th’s “Super Tuesday” primaries and caucuses and in the two dozen states that have scheduled later votes: You may follow the rules if you please, but I write the rules as I please.

That’s the raw political reality of Clinton’s move, even if she is spinning it as an embrace of participatory democracy.

She got her ass whooped in South Carolina, so now she’s headed to campaign for and compete in an imaginary primary. Seriously, this would be like the New England Patriots hyping up a scrimmage game with the Super Bowl looming right around the corner. Shouldn’t she be focused on something that actually matters? Say, like Super Tuesday?

The comparisons to the New England Patriots don’t stop there, though.

Scarlett Johansson recently deflected engagement questions by admitting her love for the candidacy of Barack Obama. The smokin’ hot and enormously talented young actress even said she was engaged to him. I feel ya, Scarlett — that’s how all of us Obamaites feel. Just look at the celebrity endorsements Obama has garnered: George Clooney, Johansson, Kanye West, Matt Damon, Oprah, Usher, Warren Buffet, Will Smith, etc.

Meanwhile, who does Billary have? Steven Spielberg? They’ve known him for like 30-40 years, and he also donated to Obama and threw a fundraiser for him. And the GOP gets washed-up action heroes like Chuck Norris and Sly Stallone. No wonder the term “Barack Star” was coined.

From the A.P.:

“I am engaged … to Barack Obama,” Johansson joked in an interview with The Associated Press on Thursday. “My heart belongs to Barack, and that is who I am currently, finally, engaged to. Yes.”
