Quick '08 Update

- Warning: you are reading this correctly. Tomorrow, Joe Biden and Sam Brownback (two Senators AND presidential candidates) will be hosting a forum on Iraq. They will discuss the Biden-Brownback amendment, which calls for a federal system that allows separate Sunni, Shiia and Kurdish states. (Read more about Biden's Iraq stance in the Boston Globe.)

- For conspiracy sake, be sure not to miss DraftGore.com, the group responsible for the full-page ad in the New York Times that asks Gore to run.

- If you haven't yet seen it, Chris Cillizza from The Fix gives a re-cap of the winners and losers of this week's GOP candidate debate in Michigan. Cillizza also ponders whether a main focal point of the debate - Hillary Clinton - will benefit or suffer from her opponents' remarks.

- Hillary Clinton - who recently said some noteworthy things to the Editorial Board of the Boston Globe - unveiled her innovation agenda yesterday. Be sure to check it out.

- Gov. Bill Richardson - who remains eager to move to third place in the Democratic field - delivered a speech in New Hampshire today on education policy, focusing particularly on No Child Left Behind. Before you check out the speech, jog your memory of Richardson's stance on NCLB with this video - one of his finer moments during the CNN-YouTube debate.

- According to an aide, Rudy Giuliani - who compared Mitt Romney to John Kerry - is like Bill Clinton.

- In a live discussion with the Washington Post, Senator Sam Brownback confirmed that he needs to place fourth in Iowa to continue his campaign. (Quick, semi-unrelated question: Why does Brownback need to make sure Tom Tancredo and others know that his mother is not an illegal immigrant?)

- Plenty of ads are on air: Hillary Clinton went up with a clever ad featuring Rob Reiner, John McCain is running a web ad, Rudy Giuliani is on air in Iowa, and Barack Obama is on air in New Hampshire.

- Today in Iowa, John McCain delivered his speech on Health Care. View more of his plan on his website. Note: this is the third speech McCain has given recently. Prior to this, he delivered speeches to the Detroit Economic Club and the Hispanic Business Expo.

- Joe Biden explained why South Carolinians should vote for him in a session with the Editorial Board of The State.
