Bad boys, bad boys, watcha gonna do ...
One one-of-a-kind congressman defends his 'Cops' style ride-along/raid and videotape with US Marshals that sparked a DOJ investigation and hilarity all around.
National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL) makes a big bet on solar.
It seemed kind of lame at first for President Obama to bring Prime Minister David Cameron to a NCAA tourney play-in game. For his first-ever basketball game, Cameron deserved better. But as it turned out last night in Dayton featured two record-setting comebacks, so Cameron got a good taste of March Madness. Photos of Barack and David.
The presidential polls are still really wild at the moment. We had the CBS/NYT and ABC/WaPo polls which showed sharp drops for President Obama. Since then we've had Ipsos and Bloomberg polls which have showed a very different picture. And today we have a Pew poll which shows President Obama with an eye-popping 12 point margin over Mitt Romney. Trend chart after the jump ...

Just when it seemed Mitt Romney had safely avoided making contraception an "issue" like some of his fellow Republicans, his comment yesterday that "we're going to get rid of" Planned Parenthood has once again placed women's health at the center of the presidential campaign debate.
Faced with the challenge of unseating an incumbent president, the national GOP and the party's primary contenders have been reluctant to allow for any suggestion that the economy could be getting out of the ditch.
But what to do if you're a GOP governor running for reelection in a state where things are looking up?
It's at least possible at this point that Romney could come in third in both Mississippi and Alabama. Looking likely he'll lose both.
As we saw in Ohio, these races can go long into the night and surprise you in the end. But at the moment, things are not looking great for Mitt Romney in Mississippi. Could he still win? Absolutely. It's too close to call. But he seems to be underperforming in some key areas and the Mitt-favorable areas are ahead of the curve in terms of reporting. Certainly possible that Santorum wins both Southern primaries tonight. Stay Tuned.
Romney supporters and insiders were high-fiving each other on Twitter early this evening and the early exits showed a good margin for Romney. But now it's not looking so good.
When CNN scooped Mitt's victory in Ohio, the ballot cams in the precincts were well ... awesome. Pretty much everything else, it's tragic and silly. Behold some special moments from tonight's coverage after the jump ...

The latest round of exit polls show Santorum picking up some ground on Romney. Now a two point spread between the two in Mississippi.
Polls close statewide in Alabama and Mississippi at 8 p.m. ET. (Hawaii closes at 2 a.m. ET).
We'll also be watching two congressional primaries in Alabama, where a pair of House committee chairmen, Spencer Bachus and Jo Bonner, are being challenged. All of those results are at the top right of the TPM main page.
After inquiries from TPM, the U.S. Marshals Service is probing why a cameraman accompanying Rep. Peter King (R-NY) was allowed to film inside a private residence in violation of federal policy during a raid yesterday to apprehend fugitives.
King posted video from his ridealong on his "official" YouTube channel this afternoon, but removed the full version when TPM began asking questions about it. An edited version was later posted. Ryan Reilly and Nick Martin have the story.

If you haven't been following things closely, you might not know that Senate Republicans have formed a virtual blockade around all of President Obama's pending nominations.
After suggesting President Obama is an anti-white radical, an indignant Sarah Palin says the Obama camp "heavily edited" her remarks.
A couple of House committee chairman are facing primary challenges down in Alabama today. Very hard to get a read on those races, but both incumbents are running hard.
Jon Stewart to Mitt Romney: "You're a guy who looks like you just stepped off of the Monopoly board. You really think you're gonna appeal to Southerners by finding reference with them on the issues that matter most to them: their accent and choosing the right breakfast starch?" Watch.
