TotT is a daily rundown of campaign events, compiled by Katie Rooney.
While we don’t know where most of the presidential candidates themselves will be today, we do know this much – several of them are leaving today’s campaigning to their surrogates. Former Sen. John Edwards‘ (D-NC) wife Elizabeth has a packed schedule in New …
From elsewhere on TIME.com, here’s the excerpt and here’s Michael Duffy’s interview.
As if it weren’t daunting enough that so many other big states moving their presidential primaries up to February 5, Florida is considering stepping on South Carolina by holding its on January 29. As Adam Smith reports in the St. Petersburg Times, the national parties are threatening to punish Florida by taking away some of its delegates …
He has a resume that trumps every other candidate in the 2008 Democratic field: Governor, U.N. Ambassador, Congressman, cabinet secretary. He has rescued hostages and negotiated with some of the toughest characters on the planet. So it seemed fair to ask: Why isn’t New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson doing any better in the …
Been on the road with McCain for his campaign relaunch tour — an entertaining diversion from the Democrats’ Gravel-tastic debate.

In the continuing back and forth between Henry Waxman and the RNC comes a letter to Waxman from RNC lawyers containing “the current list of users who we believe are or were White House employees using RNC accounts for whom we have been able to identify active e-mail data on operational RNC servers”:
A Waxman aide tells me the …
The press corps was not impressed, but I think the crowd was slightly more so. I predict many stories will incorporate the truly grim* weather as a symbol for McCain’s stolid cadences and generally flat aspect. There was even a slight break in the clouds at the end of the speech — where McCain got cheers from the veteran-friendly crowd …
