Clinton Vows to Stay in Until Convention more»»
"In her most definitive comments to date on the subject," Sen. Hillary Clinton "sought to put to rest any notion that she will drop out of the presidential race, pledging in an interview to not only compete in all the remaining primaries but also continue until there is a resolution of the disqualified results in Florida and Michigan," the Washington Post reports.

Said Clinton: "I know there are some people who want to shut this down and I think they are wrong. I have no intention of stopping until we finish what we started and until we see what happens in the next 10 contests and until we resolve Florida and Michigan. And if we don't resolve it, we'll resolve it at the convention -- that's what credentials committees are for."

Of course -- despite the page one play of the story -- it should be noted that every candidate pledges to stay in the race until the convention.

Obama Secret Meeting Revealed more»»
Finally, we know who was in the secret meeting with President-elect Obama after he visited with President Bush at the White House several weeks ago. According to the Huffington Post, it was Defense Secretary Robert Gates.

Said Gates: "We did meet the day he came to Washington to meet with the President. We met when he went back to the airport. We actually met in the fire station at National Airport and they pulled the trucks out so that our cars could go in."

Chambliss Wins Run Off more»»
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) defeated challenger Jim Martin (D) in today's runoff to win re-election, according to the Associated Press.

The Hotline: "Sorry Jim Martin, but Al Franken might be the biggest loser tonight. How likely is it that Democratic senators will push for Franken -- or vote not to seat Sen. Norm Coleman should the MN race remain tight after a recount -- now that the filibuster-proof advantage has eluded the party? Such a move is a rare happening, but tonight's GA results seems to make an aggressive move on Franken's behalf less likely."

Holbrooke Eyed for Key Diplomatic Role more»»
President-elect Obama "is seriously considering giving former ambassador Richard Holbrooke a key role in handling diplomacy in south Asia," the Washington Post reports.

It's "a move that would put one of America's most prominent international troubleshooters in the middle of trying to resolve the thorny and interrelated problems surrounding India, Pakistan and Afghanistan."

Jeb Bush Considers Senate Bid more»»
Marc Ambinder says two sources close to Jeb Bush, "including one who has spoken to the former Florida governor within the past few hours, say he is seriously considering a run for Senate now that incumbent Republican Mel Martinez has retired."

"If he decides to run, Republicans expect the field to clear for him. Maybe. Gov. Charlie Crist, with whom Bush has not had the warmest of relations, is said to be interested in moving to the Senate."

Pelosi Tightens Her Grip more»»
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) moves since the November elections "have shaken up some of her colleagues, with some looking over their shoulders and others worried about how the Speaker will lead her expanded majority in 2009," according to The Hill.

Pelosi is "the unquestioned leader in the House whose enormous power seems to grow by the day..."

Example: "Few members clash publicly with Pelosi. Reps. John Dingell (D-MI) and Jane Harman (D-CA), who were at odds with Pelosi over the last few years, were stripped of their top committee posts."
