Battle for Florida
The GOP candidates took the debate stage for a second time in Florida on Thursday night, this time on the campus of the University of North Florida in Jacksonville. Scroll forward for reactions from NRO’s expert panelists. . . .
Laura Ingraham: “The response to Newt’s second coming in South Carolina was flawlessly orchestrated. Mitt hit hard at Monday’s debate, and did a mop-up operation on Thursday night.”
John Hood: “I suppose I could take a shot at analyzing the four candidates’ answers to the First Lady question. . . . But my original First Lady, my mom, taught me not to waste time on trivialities.”
Rich Lowry: “Newt needed a big night to turn around the momentum and he didn’t get it. He struck me as tired and too ticked for his own good.”
Robert Costa: “Santorum did two key things that impressed: He hovered above the Romney–Gingrich spat. . . and he was the only contender to get under the front-runner’s skin.”
Cal Thomas: “The big media care only about diminishing Republicans. . . . Wolf Blitzer’s questions were largely embarrassing.”
Henry Olsen: “Mitt Romney dispelled any doubts tonight whether he wants to be president badly enough to fight for it.”
Jonah Goldberg: “On the merits, I think Santorum won and Paul arguably came in second. Politically I think Romney was the big winner.”
Mona Charen: “After the South Carolina debates, Romney needed an injection of rocket fuel to get his campaign back on track. He got it.”
Kathryn Jean Lopez: “Newt Gingrich has not exactly benefitted from two debates before the Florida primary this week.”

Master of the Abstract
January 28 marks the 100th anniversary of Jackson Pollock’s birth. Scroll forward for a brief review of his life and works. . . .
Jackson Pollock was born in Cody, Wyo., in 1912. He grew up in Arizona and California, before eventually moving to New York City to study art.
He married Lee Krasner in 1945, and they moved into a shared studio on Long Island. There he began to perfect his technique with paint.
Pollock’s technique of pouring and dripping paint was coined “action painting.” He moved away from figurative representation and became more abstract.
No. 5, 1948, is a famed example of his technique.
No. 31, 1950 is another.
At the height of his fame in 1950, Pollock abandoned drip painting, and he then moved to an entirely different style.
Pollock finished his last painting, Search, in 1955. He died in a drunk-driving accident in 1956.
