Everyday we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation in and outside Washington:
RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
- Nightmare scenario for the GOP: It nominates a candidate whose message is "I can fix the economy" at the moment unemployment suddenly seems to no longer be a hot button political issue.
- One underlying data point in some very good unemployment numbers is the number of people who have fallen out of the workforce. The unemployment rate fell not just because people are getting jobs, but because people are giving up. The actual unemployment rate is much higher. But the household survey has huge political implications that are good for the President.
- A real danger for the GOP is reflected in Ann Coulter's recent column supporting Romneycare. Conservatives who threw in with George W. Bush and some rather un-conservative policies have been blamed by tea party activists as much as the Democrats for the state of the union. There is a real danger in a heightened internal GOP schism.

Everyday we ask influential politicos to send us their top three bullet points that are driving the day's conversation in and outside Washington:
Senior Editor of MarioWire.com Mario Solis-Marich:
- Memories: Gingrich vows to keep going even in the event of a humiliating loss tonight and GOP insiders remember his history of scorched earth tactics.
- Real Time Assessments: Romney has decided that he is willing to defend his much aligned tax strategy, revealing that his campaign may be more out of touch than originally believed.
- Predictions: Colorado’s top power brokering Latinas are leading a gathering on March 2nd to put muscle behind a state bill that would allow undocumented students access to in-state tuition fees – and the smart money is behind them.
RedState.Com Editor Erick-Woods Erickson:
- We know Mitt Romney will win tonight. Polls are too consistent. The margin of victory is the question. Right now, he is averaging ten to twelve points ahead. If less than that, we need to wonder about two things: (1) Did Newt and his super PAC spring up a ground game quickly? or (2) with 1/6 of Florida's vote coming in early and the bulk of that right after South Carolina, does a close race mean Newt did have momentum that impacted the outcome?
- Karen Handel lost to Nathan Deal in the 2010 Republican Gubernatorial Primary runoff. She was harshly attacked in the runoff as being a closeted abortion proponent despite being pro-life. After losing, she went to work for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, which today announced it would stop funding Planned Parenthood. Coincidence?
- Conventional wisdom has finally caught up with me. On JKUSA a couple of weeks ago, I noted that evangelicals probably would move from Santorum to Romney, as polls suggested at the time – not to Gingrich. Today, a Marist poll shows that probably would happen. We're just now starting to see evangelicals reacting to the Gingrich marital issues highlighted by the ABC News report. Keep an eye on the Florida Panhandle tonight to see how Florida evangelicals break.
