February is Barack History Month. The man is on fire. He was expected to dominate the caucuses and primaries this month - but his decisive win in Maine, a Clinton-friendly state, must have surprised even him. ("Remember the Maine" has a whole different - and happier - meaning in his campaign.)

Still there's one demographic that's up for grabs. Will they get the Barack fever?

Major props to my pal Mario Correa (he of the perfect handwriting) for collaborating on the lyrics with me. And I could not have done this without the support of my longtime band mates Mario "Thumbs Hendrix" Torres (on guitar) and Shankar Tablaba (on the "barackas"). I am not now nor have ever been interested in a solo career. (Suck it, JT!)

As always, kudos to the genius of both my producer Will Hines and the not-always-grumpy editor Doug Morrione. (Will someone be his Valentine?) Thanks also to Tim Meyers and Justyn Davis for magically transforming my bedroom into such a rocking set.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
