PENSACOLA, FLA. -- While most of the presidential candidates recognized Martin Luther King's birthday today, John McCain's schedule today had no rallies, no church appearances, no acknowledgement of the holiday at the top of any of his campaign events today.

JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA -- Mitt Romney was greeted warmly by a largely African-American crowd at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday Parade in Jacksonville. He shook hands with several dozen parade-goers and even hugged a few of them.
As he posed for a picture with a group of young people, the typically old-fashioned Romney was relaxed enough to quote from a popular hit single from a few years back.
“Who let the dogs out?” he called out, as he stood there beaming in his shirt and tie. “Who! Who!”
