A stitch on a gaping wound 

Warm today but arctic air returns this weekend.  Temps today are in the 70's with afternoon rain possible.  Sunday morning we'll see temps fall through the 20's and the afternoon temps are going to feel like the 40's.  If you're running the 26.2 with Donna Sunday it's going to be really cold.  By Tuesday we're back in the upper 60's.

Today's interview lineup:

At 6:53 hear  Jamie Dupree explain why we're going to hear new talking points from Mitt Romney at today's CPAC. 

At 8:23 hear Jamie Dupree update breaking news of a possible compromise over the birth control debate.

Our Top Local Story:  It's like putting a stitch on a gaping wound.  The 25 billion dollar settlement between the government and America's five largest banks is designed to help homeowners who are underwater on their mortgages.  Attorney David Chandler Hicks says most of you won't get anything out of this.  Florida's share will be more than $7 billion but with nearly a quarter of homes underwater, we're not likely to see widespread help. 

Imagine the terror felt by three kids and a woman who were held captive nearly a month in Jacksonville by a known sex offender.  The kids and woman are safe.  She met Rasheim Dolton through a modeling website.  Cops finally tracked down the guy as he was fleeing to Georgia.

She likes a little facts with her news.  Congreswoman Corrine Brown says the story about her alleged mismanagement of your tax dollars is false.   Brown says any earmarks she has secured are done according to the rules of the House.  The Washington Post names Brown and several other politicians as steering money toward personal pet projects. 

Here come the lawsuits challenging the proposed redistricting plans in Florida.  Democrats say the new boundaries violate anti-gerrymandering standards in a pair of constitutional amendments voters approved in 2010.

Our Top National Story is You Decide 2012 as the Republican candidates try to shore up the convservative base.  The Conservative Political Action Committee conference is where Mitt Romney announced he was dropping out of the race four years ago.

He had a surprise.  Those final words from Josh Powell before he blew up his home, killing his two sons.  The social worker who was supposed to supervise the visit tells ABC's 20/20 that Powell told his 7 year-old he had a surprise for him, moments before attacking the boys with a hatchet.

We've also learned that police in Utah had discovered graphic computer-generated images of parents and children on Powell's computer.  Powell had tried to win back custody of his sons.

Democrats say it's about women's health.  Republicans say it's war on religion.  The mandate that would require religious organizations to supply birth control to patients and employees is bringing debate to the halls of Congress.  A growing number of Democrats, including Senator Bill Nelson, are breaking ranks with the White House.

The economy is still the biggest voter concern but the culture wars of the 1990's are back at the top of the political campaign news. Social issues aren't usually top concerns in a down economy but they can be key tools for political candidates. Pew Research's Andrew Kohut says people are reacting to what they're hearing.
