Obama Schedules Super Tuesday News Conference

The White House announced President Obama will hold a news conference tomorrow afternoon.

National Journal: "Three senior administration officials just laughed when asked if they had decided to schedule a President Obama press conference for Tuesday to insert the White House into a busy news day that otherwise was guaranteed to be dominated by Republicans fighting for delegates in ten states... Regardless of the motivation, putting the president out for a long give-and-take that will be carried live on multiple television channels does serve the purpose of pushing the Republicans aside, if only for an hour."

2. This is especially smart if Romney wins Ohio tomorrow...

Because the media and the Republican establishment will be gushing about his inevitability once again.

My guess is Obama did this partly to head off the inevitable Romney coronation that will probably happen tomorrow.

4. A little bullying from the pulpit.

Nice. A little scented love-letter to the vast majority of Americans on a day when the focus will be on a nasty pack of scoundrels unworthy of smelling the American people's feces.
