On this day in 1947 President Truman delivers an address to a joint session of Congress asking for assistance to Greece and Turkey to help repel Communist aggression. The speech and the policy became known as the Truman Doctrine. Now to today's top stories:

"Obama Is Victorious in Mississippi" (Anne Kornblut and Peter Slevin, Washington Post) The outcome was known approximately five minutes after the polls closed -- which was just long enough for those at home to wonder if Hillary Clinton had somehow managed to....Nope, Obama wins by a huge margin. It's no wonder reporters Kornblut and Slevin pad their article with some Geraldine Ferraro filler in the second paragraph.

"Democrats' Quest For Mail-In Revote Hits Major Hurdle" (William March, Tampa Tribune) Now we have six weeks, six long weeks before Pennsylvania to do nothing but watch the madness unfold in Florida -- where, this being an election season, madness is apt to unfold. The state's Democratic congressional delegation has issued a joint statement opposing any revote, including a mail-in vote, of the state's primary.

"McCain Advisers Lobbied for Europeans to Win Air Force Tanker Deal" (David Herszenhorn, New York Times) Adding fuel to the fire of John McCain's role in the Boeing tanker deal gone bad, now some of his advisers were lobbyists for the European EADS, which won the contract.

"Spitzer's Troubles May Hurt Clinton" (Peter Baker, Washington Post) You knew this story was coming, didn't you? The topic of male politicians and the the wives they cheat on is dominating the airwaves and that means more images of Monica Lewinsky.

"Clinton's Pennsylvania Plan" (Amy Chozick, Wall Street Journal) Pennsylvania is the new Iowa, meaning that with so much time before the actual primary, the candidates will swarm the state, visiting every hamlet and roadside diner between now and April 22. But Clinton won't repeat what she did in Iowa, which included a "Hill-A-Copter," if you remember.

"Pennsylvania Isn't a Lock for HRC -- Yet" (David Paul Kuhn, The Politico) Reporter Kuhn identifies the four blocs Obama will have to win over to win the state: Senior citizens, "Casey Democrats," white women, and white men. After that, should be a breeze.

"Obama: Ferraro Claim 'Absurd'" (Josh Drobnyk and John McCormick, Chicago Tribune) The latest primary scandal ensares Geraldine Ferraro, fundraiser for the Clinton campaign, who mentioned race and Obama in the same sentence. Not a good move.

"AFL-CIO Set to Unveil 'McCain Revealed' Campaign" (Sam Youngman, The Hill) Big labor is back in the game with a new multi-million dollar ad campaign leveled at McCain, set to be announced today. The campaign will reveal McCain's "anti-worker record and his ties to the failed economic policies of President Bush."

"Democrats in a Fight to Define 'Winner'" (Patrick Healy, New York Times) Another of the many of the many issues to occupy us during the upcoming primary drought. No matter what happens from here on, both candidates have a claim to the nomination, though not equally strong.
