Here are some quick updates on the movements of the Presidential candidates:

* Rev. Jerry Falwell will host a "meet and greet" for Sen. John McCain a week from today at the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Orlando, Florida. As you may recall, McCain famously descibed Falwell as an "agent of intolerance" when he was running against President Bush as a maverick outsider in 2000. Now, however, McCain is working hard to win over this agent of intolerance, even speaking at the 2006 spring commencement ceremony of Falwell's Liberty University. Video clips of McCain's evolving relationship with Falwell can be seen here.

* Former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack issued a debate challenge to Sen. Barack Obama today, citing Obama's decision to skip a Feb. 21 candidate forum hosted by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees in Carson City, Nevada. "As you know, AFSCME represents workers throughout Iowa and they would be willing to organize a forum for us in any town on Feb. 21,'' Vilsack wrote in a letter to Obama's campaign.

* Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani announced today that he has picked up the endorsement of Rep. Pete Sessions and former Rep. Susan Molinari. Sessions will work to build support in the House while Molinari will act as a Senior Adviser and Chairwoman of Washington outreach.

* During his trip to Iowa this weekend, Sen. Barack Obama obtained some key endorsements in the state: both Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller and Iowa State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald have officially thrown their weight behind Obama while freshman House member David Loebsack appeared on the official program of Obama's Iowa rally, though he did not officially endorse the candidate.

* Meanwhile, in an interview with AP yesterday, Obama laughed off comments by Australian Prime Minister John Howard that suggested terrorists would be "encouraged" if Obama was elected, saying “it's flattering that one of George W. Bush's allies feels obliged to attack me.” Howard told reporters that he doesn't "retreat in any way from that criticism."

* Rep. Duncan Hunter gave support to Howard's comments yesterday, saying that the Australian Prime Minister had "earned a right to comment" and was "basically stating the truth."

* Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was the keynote speaker at the Missouri GOP's Lincoln Day dinner over the weekend. Romney is expected to officially announce is candidacy in Michigan tomorrow.

* Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee picked up two solid endorsements in South Carolina today: Former first lady Iris Campbell, whose late husband Caroll Campbell II was Governor '87 to '94, and her son Mike Campbell. Her other son, Caroll Campbell III, has endorsed Sen. John McCain.

* Speaking of McCain, the Arizona Senator will campaign in Iowa on Feb. 17.
