Another day older, if not deeper in debt. But there’s still more to read:
* In terms of current ad buys in Michigan, Team Mitt is outspending Team Rick by a margin of 29 to 1. No wonder Santorum’s rhetoric is so over-the-top.
* At the same time, Romney’s inability to attract small donors means he could eventually tap out his donor base.
* Ben Adler breaks down the dynamics of the conservative media disciplinary machinery, explaining why GOP candidates never tack left.
* There’s more trouble in Bahrain, which is another reason you should read Kelly McEvers definitive account of the failure of the Arab Spring in that country.
* Xi Jinping comes to Washington and gives guarded, upbeat speech.

And in a final bit of non-political reading:
* Eatocracy succinctly defines what’s different about southern food.
Time to tie on the feedbag. See you tomorrow bright and early.
Selah.
