Roundup: Obama plans bipartisan health talks
* President Obama is holding a televised bipartisan health care discussion on Feb. 25, a maneuver designed to paint Republicans as obstructionists and show health care talks as open, the Los Angeles Times writes.
* The conservative group Focus on the Family ran a pro-life ad during the Super Bowl, USA Todayreports. A U.S. Census ad and one decrying the national debt from the Employment Policies Institute also aired.
* Tea Party activists are shifting away from organizing rallies towards gathering votes, the Wall Street Journal notes after the Nashville convention. Illegal Immigration is high on their agenda, New America Mediaadds.
* The Senate is delaying today's votes as Washington D.C. recovers from a historic blizzard. The House is not in session.
