The Dish

It grows: $7.5 million now.

One of those stories:

On Jan. 31, The Daily Toreador’s editorial board was made aware by a Texas Tech faculty member of an instance of plagiarism.

Columnist Ty McDonald took direct statements, ideas and content from "Plagiarism and intellectual loot," a post on Christiaan Briggs’ Weblog located at http://last-straw.net for two of his articles: "A new way to think about thoughts" and "Plagiarism is not a sin."

The Field retracts its post on how many delegates will be selected in a caucus. It’s a quarter not two-thirds.

A new study suggests circumcision may not, in fact, help prevent HIV transmission from men to women.

Matt Yglesias doesn’t get it. I’ve come to realize I never will.

She’s speaking but not officially invited.

Byron York notices a sudden collapse in the email flow.

No telling for whom.

The phone keeps ringing.

One of the numbers that will be important in the Dem race. Heilemann:

That’s the number of races on the calendar between now and the end of February. Of them, four are caucuses (Nebraska, Washington, Maine, and Hawaii), four are primaries in states with a large percentage of African-American voters (Louisiana, Maryland, Virginia, and D.C.), and one is the primary in Wisconsin, a state with a long tradition of pragmatic progressivism and a bent toward retail politics. All of which is to say that there’s a reasonable chance that nine is also the number of races in a row that Clinton seems poised to lose before we get to Ohio and Texas, where she is favored. And if that’s the case, the momentum accruing to Obama may prove overwhelming.
