Lots of things to discuss in today's report.

First of all, Barack Obama is in Tampa to announce that Florida will receive over a billion dollars in high-speed rail funding.

We've got some thoughts on the President's State of the Union address last night.

Alex Sink is down 10% to Bill McCollum. But it is still only January.

And the great Howard Zinn has passed away at the age of 87.
