Ted Kennedy to Endorse Obama  —  ABC News' Rick Klein Reports: Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., will endorse Barack Obama's presidential bid on Monday in Washington, a source close to Kennedy tells ABC News.  —  The endorsement gives Obama a boost in the eyes of the Washington establishment …
Ramesh Ponnuru / The Corner:
Caroline Kennedy's Political Romanticism  —  She says that Obama could be a president like her father.  I assume that means that he'll be overrated, not that he'll bring us to the brink of nuclear war.
Grand Old Partisan:
A racist Republican rag wrote Barack Obama “rejiggers” the race  —  No, wait.  It's Time magazine.  As explained in the Urban Dictionary, “jig” is a derogatory word used to insult African-Americans.  —  The headline has since been changed, but Grand Old Partisan saved the original version …
New York Times:
Kennedy Plans to Back Obama Over Clinton  —  BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Senator Edward M. Kennedy intends to endorse the presidential candidacy of Senator Barack Obama during a rally on Monday in Washington, associates to both men confirmed, a decision that squarely pits one American political dynasty against another.
Hillary Clinton / CNN:
Ted Kennedy expected to endorse Obama
Ed Morrissey / Captain's Quarters:
My Vote  —  Over a year ago and many times since, I wrote that I could give no endorsement, because I had honestly not made up my mind about which candidate to support.  I also told the CapQ community that if I did make a decision, I would announce it as soon as I made it so that they knew where I stood.

Caught On Tape: Romney Accuses McCain Of Lying, Then Balks  —  Mitt Romney was caught on tape Sunday saying his GOP rival John McCain was “lying” about his position on the Iraq war, before quickly telling a reporter he regretted his words.  The Arizona senator was merely “dishonest,” Romney said.

Kevin Drum / Washington Monthly:
OFF THE BUS....I haven't been impressed with very much of the chatter about Barack Obama's primary victory last night.  Hillary didn't give a concession speech?  Give me a break.  Who cares?  Turnout was up?  Yes, but it's been an exciting and money-filled campaign and turnout has been up everywhere.
Michelle Malkin:
Clinton unhinged: In the name of “love”  —  Bill Clinton is a sick puppy.  I didn't say it.  His own wife says he's sleep-deprived and so driven by “love” that he can't control himself on the campaign trail.  —  Love for her?  Or love for his own indignant voice and for preservation of his legacy/dynasty?

Obama for the Democrats  —  After seven years of George Bush's failed presidency, after five years of unnecessary war in Iraq, America is ready to write a new narrative.  All candidates favor the now-bromidic slogan: change.  Only one candidate truly embraces the yearnings this word represents.
Parag Khanna / New York Times:
Waving Goodbye to Hegemony  —  Turn on the TV today, and you could be forgiven for thinking it's 1999.  Democrats and Republicans are bickering about where and how to intervene, whether to do it alone or with allies and what kind of world America should lead.
Josh Marshall / Talking Points Memo:
ABOUT JESSE'S WINS IN SOUTH CAROLINA  —  Bill Clinton's reference to Jesse Jackson's wins in South Carolina pretty much speaks for itself.  But there's a further part of the story that's well worth pointing out.  TPM Reader JZ wrote in last night to point out that in 1984 and 1988 …
