Good morning.

As we've already noted, the morning-after commentaries about last night's State of the Union look to be breaking along — surprise! — political lines. And the news media's take on the president's message seems to be that he tried hard to recapture the taste for "change" that got him elected.

There is, of course, other news to talk about today. Among the headlines:

— The Associated Press — Key Vote On Bernanke Confirmation Due Today: "Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, a lightning rod for anger over Wall Street bailouts, is expected to overcome Senate opposition and win a second term as head of the nation's central bank. The Senate has scheduled a key vote Thursday that will determine whether Bernanke has at least 60 senators on his side to beat a filibuster aimed at blocking his reappointment. Senate leaders from both parties expressed confidence he would prevail."

— Morning Edition — "Expansion May Have Hurt Toyota's Attention To Detail": "Toyota has announced yet another recall of more than a million vehicles over concerns about sudden acceleration. Earlier, the company halted sales of some best-selling models. After setting the bar for quality, Toyota has watched its ratings slip in recent years. Some analysts say the company — which is now the world's largest automaker — expanded too fast." NPR's Frank Langfitt reports:

— Miami Herald — Rare Rescue In Haiti; 17-Year-Old Survived More Than Two Weeks In Rubble: After her rescue Wednesday from the rubble of a home in Port-au-Prince — 15 days after Haiti's devastating earthquake — Darlene Etienne "was rushed to a French military field hospital and then a hospital ship, groaning through an oxygen mask with her eyes open in a lost stare. ... Authorities say it is rare for anyone to survive more than 72 hours without water, little alone more than two weeks. But Etienne may have had some access to water from a bathroom of the collapsed home, and rescuers said she mumbled something about having a little Coca-Cola with her in the rubble."

— MSNBC's First Read — Men Accused In Incident At Sen. Landrieu's Office May Have Been Looking To Record Staff's Reaction, Not Tamper: "A law enforcement official says the four men arrested for attempting to tamper with the phones in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu (D) were not trying to intercept or wiretap the calls. Instead, the official says, the men, led by conservative videomaker James O'Keefe, wanted to see how her local office staff would respond if the phones were inoperative. They were apparently motivated, the official says, by criticism that when Sen. Landrieu became a big player in the health care debate, people in Louisiana were having a hard time getting through on the phones to register their views."

— BBC News — Tide Must Turn By Mid-2011 In Afghanistan, U.K. Leader Says: "British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has said mid-2011 should be the deadline for 'turning the tide' in the fight against insurgents in Afghanistan. Speaking at a 70-nation London summit on the future of Afghanistan, he said the nations faced 'a decisive time'. Before the talks began, President Hamid Karzai said Afghanistan could need foreign support for its security forces for up to 15 years. He later announced plans to reintegrate some Taliban fighters into society."
