Before kickoff Monday night, the national TV audience and the crowd at Land Shark Stadium saw a taped message from President Barack Obama that saluted the contributions of Hispanics in football.
The president spoke as part of a tribute to Hispanic Heritage Month. Latino singer Marc Anthony, a Miami Dolphins minority owner, sang The Star-Spangled Banner; another Dolphins part-owner, Gloria Estefan, sang a special rendition of the Monday Night Football theme song; and the NFL's first Hispanic referee, Alberto Riveron, called the first penalty in Spanish.
'So unions get mountains of Obamacare waivers, but they can't budge for religious organizations? Creepy. '-@politicalmath
EUREKA – Monday is President Ronald Reagan’s birthday. He would be 101.

dloesch: Of course all MO counties went Santorum. They all voted against Obamacare mandate with Prop C in 2010. #MOhatesmandates
thecaucus: RT @jeffzeleny: In his Denver speech, Romney seems to be debuting a populist message, just in time as the race moves to Ohio and other states.
ewerickson: @mlxfl which is why so many feel so betrayed by him.
